Studying abroad is the best way to develop oneself in life. People who studied abroad became more knowledgeable and suited to intercultural things, which helps them to ensure success in their life long while toward degrees. Most people make the wrong decision because of being unmotivated. There are three reasons to study at a university abroad: learn self-care abroad, especially for international students, deal with intercultural, and study in a high-quality education with an individual curriculum.

Firstly, living away from family is the most crucial motivation of human life because it is to become independent. Abroad graduated students, particularly in the US. They become more independent than other students who graduated from national universities. For instance, students live away from their families. They usually get out of their comfort zone. As well as, feeling alone makes them more hardworking in their either academics or volunteering. However, sometimes students face depression; some return to their country after a few months. Students passed through those difficulties. Then it helps them to achieve success.

Secondly, cultural differences make people more motivated. Because people mostly suit their own cultures; therefore, their way of seeing life is limited. For example, most older people like to live in their own countries for the rest of their lives due to their lack of cultural experience. Studying abroad at university can help them to get rid of this problem. However, it takes time to suit different cultures. In the US, one of the significant impacts on culture is diversity. There are lots of country people who immigrated from other countries, which makes the US more multicultural. For instance, there is Chinatown, Koreatown, Ukrainian village, and others. Each country’s people emphasize their language and culture. On top of that, many countries’ cultural events happen a dime a dozen times.

Thirdly, one of the significant reasons for studying abroad is the quality of education. Most of the time, people consider their country’s education quality not acceptable; otherwise, they hugely emphasize education and personal development. Therefore, in most cases, people decide to study abroad. In the US, most of the world’s people agree the quality of education is high in the US. In fact, one percent of Mongolians lawfully immigrated to the US after they graduated their university.

To sum up, many students do not study abroad because of being unmotivated. Most of them follow their bad influence; otherwise, they follow pessimistic friends. As a result, being unmotivated turns their dream into failure. Sometimes, students do not study even if they are enrolled or paid tuition. This case demonstrates to us that motivation is the only thing that makes people would study abroad or not.
