STUDYING ABROAD

    The students in video are contented with studying in USA.They think it means much more things than studying.They met new people and knew the culture better by this way.They also had a lot of experiences.
     The education system in their own countries are not so good as the one in USA according to them.USA education system is based on creativity,practice and teamwork.It is also easy to communicate with faculty members.This is so supportive for the students.Japanese student talks about the technical knowledge they learn in the school.They do almost no practice.But, in USA ,they have opportunities to practise.Also,they cannot change major in Japan while they can in USA.Chinese student complains about the difficulty of entering a college in China.They need to get high grades for this.It is quite strict system when compared to the one in USA.Netherlander student says that they have an ordinary education without practising or using their creativity in Netherland.
    Chinese student learned about studying abroad by agencies.Netherlander student took advices from her environment.Japanese one studied high school abroad.So he got used to this situation.
    The students talk about their culture shock.Chinese student mentions the short clothes worn in winter.She also says that they hang up the clothes outside in her hometown instead of using drying machine.But American people use drying machine.Japanese student mentions the difference of communication types between his country and USA.He says that people in Japan are not so outgoing as in USA.They communicate indirectly while American people communicate directly.Also Americans don't get embarressed when they burb.It is something ordinary in USA.
    When it comes to financial side of studying abroad,the students says that it depends on the department studied,meal and accommodation.It costs approximately 35000 dollars.They think that it is not too much considering the advantages.
    I'd like to study abroad as these students did.I think it would help me develop my language skills.Also I would learn more about the culture of that country.But,I would have difficulties at first.Because it is quite difficult to get accustomed to new place,new people,different life style,meals,etc.However,it is not so important considering the advantages I would get.
