To study abroad is a dream for almost every student and migration of international students starts to increase, especially nowadays in an era of globalisation, because this era is the 'individual's ability to globalize', according to Friedman (2005). Studying abroad is a 'life-changing' experience and a challenge in an international environment. Although many will argue that taking a degree in a foreign country with a foreign language and foreign culture is a decision of madness, this essay will argue that an international experience beyond financial constrains, academic achievement in a foreign language across linguistic difficulties, and independence and self-confidence passing cultural barriers gained by students involves courage.
