However, this is an assumption. According to Cleary’s article, there are indeed glaring disadvantages to studying abroad. Firstly, the cost of pursuing higher education overseas is very high. In Australia, the cost alone for an undergraduate degree for international students range from $15k-$30k annually as compared to its fees for local students at $7k-$10k. This is not even including the cost of living the student would incur overseas. The significantly higher fees for international students is definitely a huge factor of how studying abroad may not be the ideal choice for everyone.

This can be seen by student exchange programmes set up where students get to experience education in a different country for one or two semesters while still paying local university fees.

Culture shock exists commonly when students do overseas to learn. It is usually caused by the change of society you live in. When you experienced the culture shock, you cannot adapt to native habit which are main six symbol things. They are food(utensils and staple), language(English and Chinese ), manners/behaviors, fashion, celebration/relaxation activity(such as Spring Festival and Christmas), climate, values and social roles.

There are, of course, difficulties that will be faced by students when they are abroad. One of such difficulties is to be prejudiced against. As can be seen in the article by Nadine Dolby entitled "Encountering an American self: Study Abroad and National Identity." In the article, the American students were prejudiced against during their stay in Australia. It may be a good experience to study abroad, but for some, the experience may not be so. Imagine to be eating at a restaurant and then, people start to talk about you just because of what your nationality is. Not only about your origin, but international students are also prejudiced in other ways. Generally, it is harder for international students to get visa more so, since the nine eleven incident.
