It is well known that due to the booming economy and increasing family income, studying abroad has become an increasingly popular choice for students. Although studying abroad is often praised by people for its advantages, there are still some disadvantages to be noticed.

First of all, to study abroad is expensive. Specifically speaking, those involved have to spend a large amount of money on tuition and living expenses, which is not affordable for everyone. In addition, to study abroad is a great challenge for those students who lack the ability of living independently. If they can not take good care of themselves there, their academic performance will be affected to a large extent. Last but not least, to study abroad may exercise a negative influence on students’ mentality. As we all know, to study abroad equals to stay away from family and friends for a long time, which is likely to produce some psychological problems for those students, such as being solitary and gloomy.

From what has been mentioned above, we can easily come to the conclusion that the disadvantages of studying abroad can not be neglected. What’s more, those students who are planning to study abroad should make enough preparations for these problems mentioned above. Only in this way, can they have a fruitful and successful study life abroad.

眾所周知，隨著經濟的蓬勃發(fā)展和家庭收入的增加，出國留學已經成為越來越受學生歡迎的選擇。雖然出國留學的優(yōu)點經常被人們稱贊，但仍有一些缺點需要注意。

首先，出國留學的費用是昂貴的。具體來說，這些人不得不花費一大筆錢在學費和生活費上，而這并不是每個人都負擔得起的。此外，對于那些缺乏獨立生活能力的學生來說，出國留學是一個巨大的挑戰(zhàn)。如果他們不能照顧好自己，他們的學習成績將在很大程度上受到影響。最后但并非最不重要，出國留學可能會對學生的心理產生負面影響。眾所周知，出國留學等于長時間遠離家人和朋友，這很可能使留學生產生一些心理問題，如孤僻和沮喪。

綜上所述，我們不難得出以下結論：出國留學的缺點是不能忽視的。更重要的是，那些計劃出國留學的學生應該為解決這些問題做好充足的準備。只有這樣，他們才能有一個豐富多彩且成功的留學生活。
