•Do you think it's good for young people aged about 16 or 17 to go overseas to study?

Question

What do you think are the major challenges of working or studying in another country?
Besides language difficulties, what do you think are the major challenges of working or studying in another country?

Answer 1

yea
if i had the chance, i'd go ;-)
it might be hard to adjust to the new country's cultures and customs
japan, for instance, has very strict customs- if you forget any of them, they would think it was an insult

Answer 2

I am actually from overseas in the U.S. right now. It is the best experience ever. Not only that you get to experience another culture but you also have the chance to learn another language. The language is not a difficulty. You learn that so fast living in a hostfamily and even if you make mistakes nobody cares and everybody helps and supports you. The only difficulty is to make the decision and say goodbye to your friends and family for a year -- but I can assure you that it is worth doing it.
HAVE FUN!!!
PS. A great exchange program is GIVE

Answer 3

I do not see challenges, I see nothing but wonderful opportunities and amazing lessons to be learnt, especially about oneself. I love the idea of embracing a new culture and new people and new surroundings.

For me, an amazing life experience to be soaked up and enjoyed!

Answer 4

Yeah, what better way to get wasted when you're under 21. Plus you're in another country so any gf/bf ties in the US don't count

Answer 5

No, they generally aren't mature enough to study without parental supervision at that age, unless they are in a boarding school, then yes.

Answer 6

No because I know they won't be studying what they are supposed to be studying they will be studying guys or girls.
