With the deepening of reform and gradual opening up of our country，many people are considering going abroad for further study. However，there are still many people who favor studying at home.To begin with，studying abroad costs them an arm and a leg.In addition，it’s easier to develop themselves in familiar surroundings. Just as the saying goes，each advantage has its disadvantage.If the student has the chance and financial resources，they should seize the opportunity to broaden their horizons.Otherwise，they should stay at home.What counts is not where they study but what they can learn. Looking forward to knowing your opinion. Yours， Li Hua
