你真的需要借口飞到一个遥远的国度,就是为了接受世界一流的教育,成为一名超文化的国际学生吗?如果你还没有决定要出国留学的话,一起来看看以下为你独家翻译的为什么要出国留学的理由。
对于那些已经出国留学的学生,如果你有任何其他的出国留学的原因,欢迎随时告诉我们。下面一起来看看吧。
这是一段令人难忘的经验
即使你在家那边的朋友厌倦了听到这种事情 (警告你,他们一定会厌倦的哦),但是你在国外留学的这段经历将会陪着你直到永远。
获得独立
要独立并不是一件容易的事,要改变自己既成的命运,但是比起和你的父母一起生活20几年来说,这是一件相当了不起的事。
学会自立
搬到国外去生活是对你自力更生能力的终极考验。当你回国的时候(如果你还会回国的话),你可能不会再那么依赖别人了,你会为自己承担更多的责任。
更多地了解你自己
把你丢到一个完全陌生的环境里,会帮助你发现自己擅长什么,还有不擅长什么。这些东西都是可以在你留学期间慢慢发现,并且改善的。
成为一个真正的成年人
在一个未知的环境中生活,能够加速你从青少年到成年人的转变。你必须自己照顾自己,自己做饭,自己洗衣服,但是所有这一切绝对都是非常值得的。
遇见各种各样的人
通过接触许多不同类型的人,不仅能够帮助你发展你的人际交往能力,同时也会让你更清楚地认识别人,不管是朋友还是敌人。
你会更深地了解很多不同的文化
并不只有政客们才会被指责缺乏文化敏感性,你还可以在你的出国留学期间发展你的文化敏感性。
通过全新的角度来看你自己的文化
你绝对很容易接受你自己的文化,但是在另一个国家生活可以帮你形成一种全新的视角来看看你自己家乡的文化,能够让你形成自己的观点,而不仅仅是被动地接受别人提出的观点。
会让你的简历更好看
如果你可以在探索一个新国家的同时用你的国际技能获得一份体面的大学生工作,那简直是太棒了。
如果你在一个完全陌生的国家留学期间,还获得了国际技能,能够在毕业之后找到一份非常体面的工作,那简直是太好了不是吗?
你将学会更容易感激一些小事情
通常来说,出国留学意味着你会拥有比一般的学生更少的金钱,并且离家那么远真的会让你怀念那些已经被你视为理所当然的熟悉的舒适感。而出国留学会让你产生一种对所有事物完全不同的感恩的心,从你父母为你做的可口饭菜,到你多了几双袜子可以选择。
按照完全不同方式学习
通常出国留学的学生会体验一种完全不同的教学方式。新的教学方式可能会让你有些畏惧,但是也需要你敞开心扉来接受这种新的学习方式。
提高你的语言技能
还记得你在学校里的时候学的那些外语吗?不记得了吧,我也是。你可以通过出国留学唤醒你对这些外语的记忆,你可能会讶异原来你还记得这么多。
在国外的生活与在国外度假是完全不同的
实际上你会体验你要长期留学的地方,获得当地的知识,如在哪里卖的咖啡最好,应该避免什么样的旅游陷阱,还有如何最有效地利用你的新城市。
实际上,你会在你留学的那个地方待很长一段时间,你会了解当地的一些知识,比如哪里卖的咖啡最好喝,你应该要避免什么样的旅游陷阱,还有如果在这座新城市里体会最地道的生活。
结交一辈子的朋友
你可以不会爱你遇到的每一个人,但是你会有机会在你遇到的人中间至少结交一个一辈子的朋友,如果你很擅长与朋友保持联系的话,那就是了。
发现新的和令人兴奋的食物
在你的生活中,你会发现更多的西班牙海鲜饭/肉汁乳酪薯条/波兰饺子/炸肉排/沙瓦玛/春卷/猪排盖饭/咖哩肉沫/拔克拉弗饼,你可以按照自己的喜好酌情删除。
国际学生资助变得越来越普遍
出国留学不再意味着你需要身无分文的离开,现在有越来越多的学校和政府机构为国际学生提供专门的奖学金。你在出国留学之前,可以先了解清楚在世界范围内有哪些为国际学生提供的奖学金。
获得生活的经验
出国留学的最根本原因之一是为了获得生活经验。你会学习到怎么安排你自己的生活,并且将所有你需要的东西都浓缩到一个行李箱里,你要学会处理任何不可预见的情况,你还需要独立并且自给自足。
拥有心血来潮和冒险精神
当你离家成千上万英里,心血来潮和冒险精神就是你最好的朋友。敞开你的心扉去体验这段全新的经历,美景,以及其中的乐趣。
获得一种全球的思维模式
无论是在工作、学习或者娱乐中,你将能够使用你的全新的全球思维来支持你的观点,形成你的信念,并且引导你的未来。
得到国际学生的折扣
学生折扣总是很有趣,你购物时可以用这些长相奇怪的钱。但是需要提醒大家的是,不要一次性就花光所有的钱哦。
你会更感激你的家庭甚至整个家族
任何有关父母之间或兄妹之间的争执的记忆,你会发现它们是多么令人惊讶的记忆。同样,他们也会有时间去忘记你那些不那么好的东西,等你从国外留学回来的时候,这些关系将比以前更强。
充分利用低的学费
这一点当然取决于你在哪里留学,但是如果你选择欧洲大陆的大部分地区、亚洲和拉丁美洲,你会发现你可以在非常有名气的大学就读,并且你还不需要背负巨额的债务。
充分利用你的课余时间来进行探索和发现
在上课和实验室做实验之外的时间,在国外留学会给你留下足够的时间来进行探索。无论你是探访标志性建筑,尝试新的食物,或在当地的市场互换物品,这些肯定都是比你沉浸在Facebook上更好的打发时间的方式。
增强你的国际就业前景
作为一名国际学生,在留学生活结束的时候你可以选择回家,但是也有许多人选择留在那边并且申请工作签证。即使你决定回国或者决定到别的地方去找工作,这段出国留学的国际经验很可能会让雇主对你更加青睐。
因为多样化是生活的调味品
这可能是你爸爸在超市选择不同口味的炸薯片的时候说的话,但是这句话是真理,改变、多样化和全新的体验是让你的生活值得过下去的东西。所以综合起来就是一句话,出国留学吧。

Not that you really need an excuse to fly to a far-off country in order to gain a world-class education as a super-cultured international student, but heres our list of 25 reasons to study abroad just in case youre not yet convinced.
And for those of you who have already studied abroad, let us know in the comments if you can think of any more good reasons to study abroad and whether you agree with the list so far!
1. Itll look good on your CV
If you can explore a new country at the same time as picking up the international skills to gain a decent graduate job, then thats pretty good going.
2. Brush up on your language skills
Remember the foreign language skills you picked up in school? No, me neither. Refresh them by studying abroad; you might be surprised at how much you remember.
3. Living in a foreign country is completely different to a holiday
Youll actually get to experience your place of study in the long term, picking up local knowledge such as where sells the best coffee, what tourist traps to avoid and how to get the most out of your new city.
4. Meet a perse range of people
Your exposure to many different types of people will not only help you to develop your people skills, but it will also give you a firmer knowledge of others, both friend and foe.
5. Make lifelong friends
You may not love every single person you meet, but chances are that youll meet at least one lifelong friend (if youre good at keeping in touch, that is).
6. Discover new and exciting foods
Get more paella /poutine /pierogi /schnitzel /shawarma /chimichanga /katsudon /bobotie /baklava (delete as appropriate) in your life.
7. Study and learn differently
Often those studying abroad will experience a completely new way of teaching. This can be daunting, but it will also open your mind to new ways of learning.
8. Gain independence
Its not easy being independent to paraphrase Destiny's Child but its also a heck of a lot better than living with your parents as a 20-something.
9. Learn self-reliance
Moving abroad is the ultimate test in self-reliance. When (or if) you move back, youll likely rely on others less and youll take more responsibility for yourself.
10. Youll gain a greater knowledge of different cultures
Cultural sensitivity isnt just a quality which politicians may be accused of lacking; its also something you can develop while studying abroad!
11. See your own culture through a new lens
Its easy to accept your own culture as absolute, but living in another country can help inform your point of view on your home culture, allowing you to develop your own views rather than simply accepting those defined by where happen to come from.
12. Learn more about yourself
Throwing yourself into a completely new environment will help you to figure out what youre good at, as well as what youre not so good at. These are things that can then be built on during your study abroad experience.
13. Become an adult
Speed up the transition from teenager to adult by leaping into the unknown. Youll have to fend for yourself, buy your own meals and wash your own clothes, but itll all be worth it.
14. Gain life experience
One of the ultimate reasons to study abroad is to gain life experience. Youll learn how to organize your life and condense it into one suitcase, handle unforeseen situations, be independent and self-sufficient.
15. Be spontaneous and adventurous
When youre hundreds of thousands of miles away from home, spontaneity and adventurousness are your best friends. Open your mind up to new experiences and sights and the fun will come your way.
16. You learn to appreciate the smaller things more
Studying abroad usually means you have even fewer possessions than the average student, and being that much further from home can really make you miss those familiar comforts youd taken for granted. Welcome to a new-found appreciation of everything from your parents cooking to having more than two pairs of shoes to choose from.
17. Gain a global mind-set
Whether its in work, study or play, youll be able to use your new global mind-set to back up arguments, inform your beliefs and steer your future.
18. Get the perks of international student discounts
Student discounts are always fun but 100 times more so when youre shopping in a new store with funny-looking money! (Disclaimer: dont spend it all at once.)
19. Its an unforgettable experience
Even if your friends back home get bored of hearing about it (warning: they will), your study abroad experience will stay with you long after its over.
20. Youll appreciate your home and family more
Any memories of parental arguments or sibling rivalry will pale in comparison to your memories of how amazing they are. (Likewise, theyll have time to forget about all your less attractive attributes too) When you get back these relationships will look so much stronger!
21. International student funding is becoming more common
Studying abroad doesnt have to leave you penniless, as more and more institutions and governmental bodies are offering dedicated scholarships for international students. To discover international scholarships from around the world, see this page.
22. Take advantage of lower tuition fees
This of course depends on where you study abroad, but if you choose a location in many parts of continental Europe, Asia and Latin America, youll find its possible to study at a highly reputed university without getting into five-figured debt.
23. Use your spare time to explore
In between lectures and lab sessions, studying abroad should leave you with plenty of time to explore. Whether youre one for visiting iconic landmarks, trying new foods or bartering at local markets, theres always bound to be a better way of spending your time than scrolling through Facebook!
24. Increase your international job prospects
While you can always go home at the end of your time as an international student, many choose to stay put and apply for a working visa. Even if you return home or decide to seek work elsewhere, the international experience provided by studying abroad is likely to be looked on favorably by employers.
25. Because variety is the spice of life
It might be something your dad says when opting for a different flavor of crisps at the supermarket, but its true; change, variety and new experiences are what make life worth living. Mix it up a bit: study abroad!
