Study Abroad

Should all colleges students be required to study abroad? students should not be required to study abroad because many of them should have the choice either stay near their home or travel out of state. Some students can’t afford traveling or going to other countries. students who go to college but stay in the same state are the ones who most love to stay near their parents and save gas.
Students that graduate after high school have the opportunity to choose where to go for college. If students are required to study abroad most of them will not be happy about it. Students might want to stay near their family and not go too far. Other students may afford traveling outside of the state to meet new people. And, some students may not have a chance to travel due to not having money.
Most students could not travel because they either are in some difficult situations such as family problems, money, antisocial, passport, etc. If students are required to study abroad their lifestyle will eventually change. Students would not like to change and others perhaps will like to travel but come back to their home. If study abroad is required all the students after high school will be preparing their belongings and will be preparing for traveling. Most students will love this but other students will have a sad feeling of leaving their family and even their childhood.
Those students who stay home or near their home; but go to college, decide to be closer to their family members. Another reason would probably be students saving their money for their books, classes, etc. These students not only pay for college but also for gas money and their food. The Government help students but those who are being helped still work and pay for what they can afford. This is not easy but it is beneficial to students that do this.
To sum up, not all students can afford traveling, not all of them want to travel. If study abroad is required this would be the difficult situation for all students. This perhaps would bring them down to disappointment. Students should choose whether to travel somewhere else or study near their homes for college. This can help students focus more on what they have been learning for in a good and content place.
