In Malaysia, there are many local universities that have a good quality and students have a variety of choice that they can choose. In my opinion, I disagree that studying abroad is better than studying in local universities. This is because studying in local universities can save the cost and it is as good as universities abroad while students who study abroad are exposed to culture shock and they will not have communication barrier.
First, studying in local universities can save the cost compared to studying in universities abroad. The different countries have different currency rate. Usually, when we convert our currency to other's currency, our value will become smaller. So, we need more money to study abroad. The students need a lot of money to pay a fee if studying abroad compared to studying in local.as the further the country is from our country, the higher the price of flight ticket is. So, much money is needed to buy the flight ticket to and fro. If they are in emergency cases, they cannot go home immediately because they have no money to buy flight.
Next, local universities also provided the qualified lecturers including lecturers who from overseas. All the lecturers are hired based on their experiences which must be at least 5 years in education field. Furthermore, most of the academic programs are received full accreditation from Malaysian Qualifications Agency who formerly known as National Accreditation Council. Thus, our local universities actually have the capability in producing many successful students like doctors, teachers, bankers, lawyers, architects, and others.
After that,studying in local universities can avoid our children from culture shock .As if they are in overseas,they have to get used with the new environment and cultures.If they cannot assimilate to the foreing
