    Attending a university in one's home country or in another country is a question. Some people hold the opinion that attending a university in home country is superior to attending a university in another country. Others, however, contradict finishing their university education abroad. Personally, I would prefer attending a university in another country because I think it has more advantages.
    There are numerous reasons why finishing university education abroad is preferable, and I would in here explain a few of the most important ones. The main reason is that communication is more and more important today. It takes place in almost every field of our lives, including the field of education certainly. So attending a university in another country can get direct and quick communication with the world. It can be given a concrete example. I am a law school student and my country's law education is influenced by that of Germany. So most of what I learned was translated from the books in Germany. Translation, you know, can't help twisting the writers' true meanings sometimes and always needs much time. So the result was that I got inaccurate information sometimes and always can not catch up with the latest views. What if I finish my university education in Germany? I thought later.
    Another reason why I advocate the attitude of attending a university in another country is that it is contributed to complete my personality. Take the case of a thing that studying abroad means I can't rely on my family while only depend on myself when I meet troubles. This makes me independent.
    Finally, attending a university in another country can bring me a lot of pleasure. The study and life overseas must be different from that in my home country. So finishing university education abroad not only gives me an entirely new study, but also gives me an entirely new life, which must be interesting. In addition, attending a university in another country also gives me a chance to make interesting foreign friends.
    Of course, choosing attending a university in the home country also have advantages to some extent, for example, if you don't have much money, finishing university education in your hometown means a lighter burden for you.
    But if all these factors are contemplated, the advantages of attending a university in another country in the home country. From what has been discussed above, we may finally draw the conclusion that if you finish your university education abroad, you get a complete study and a rich and colorful life.

    Although students can get a good education in most subjects at their home universities, it is important to study abroad for some or part of one's college education. Study abroad can give a student competency in a new language, familiarity with a different culture, and a chance to grow in different ways.
    One cannot deny that it is important to be bilingual or even multilingual in today's fast-paced world. We have a global economy and communication by Internet and satellite TV means we must be familiar with other languages in order to keep up with new developments.
    Knowing another culture is also important today. Respect for other peoples and their traditions will foster cooperation and peace. We should all do our part to make sure the world is safe for our children. It will only be safe if we understand and respect other people and their culture.
    When we are out of our environment, we feel more free to experiment with different ways of doing things. We are all individuals and we need time to be on our own, away from our comfortable nests. We may try different things and reject them. We might also adopt them. People can change and it is easier to change when you are away from your family surroundings.
    Study abroad can be enriching. Not only can we learn a new language, understand more about a different culture, but we can learn more about ourselves too. At the same time, of course, we are getting an education in the formal sense.
