Firstly, studying locally is more affordable. For example, students prefer to study in a local university like University Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) because the tuition fees and the living expenses are less expensive. Moreover, students can always take on a part time job to support themselves.
Furthermore, studying locally is more convenient in many different aspects. We can maintain a regular close contact with our families. Should they get into certain troubles or simply face too much stress, their parents will be able to give them support as well as words of encouragement. Also, studying locally allows them to interact with other locals easily. This allows them to carry out researches more easily. Besides, students can have more insights about Malaysian culture.
Some people might say that studying abroad will promise better prospects in future. However, having an overseas certificate is not a guarantee for a greater job opportunity. This is because employers are not only looking at credentials but they look for other characteristics such as diligence, commitment as well as self-discipline in an employee.
In conclusion, studying locally is better than studying abroad because it is more affordable for Malaysians and more convenient for students to maintain a close contact with their families.
