They think studying in the US is beneficial.Because they learn different cultures.They can study with a team in a creative atmosphere and they gain experience.

The Chinese student decided to study in US because she needs high scores to attend Chinese college.The Netherland student decided to study in US because US education system is based on creavity and team work.And her grandfather support her to study in US.The Japane student said that he studied highschool in England and Canada so he get used to study abroad.

The Japanese student said that Us education system is more flexible.When you attend a college if you want to change your subject,you can not.The Netherland student does not satisfy with her county's education system.Because its education system is ordinary and is not creative.And for the Chinese student,attending Us college is easier than chinese college because Chinese college require high scores.When it comes to daily life,the Chinese student said that people in US use dry-machine but in China they do not use and this is different for her.For the Japanese student,Japanese people speak each other indirectly.But it is different in Us because people in there speak directly.

While studying in US,you have to pay for many things like airplane-fee,meals,tuition-fee and housing.Approximately students have to pay 30.000 dollars in total.And they think that it is moderate.

They have difficulties about culture.Because they are from different countries and they are trying to get used to a new culture.

Like other international student they experienced culture shock.It is normal because each country is different from another.For the Chinese student,it is interesting that people are wearing shoes in winter.And the Japanese student said that people burp and he find it rude and disgusting.

I have thought of going abroad.But actually i dont think going US.My first choice is Europe such as England or Italıe.I want England because i will be a English teacher so i want to live the country where it is spoken.And i want Italie because i am studying Italıen and i want to develop my Italıen by going there.I know i will have difficulties when i go.I wont get used to their cultures easily but it is worth going.Because it will be very beneficial for me and for my educational life.
