Nowadays, the issue that should college require student to study abroad for at least one semester is widely discussed. Some people think sending students to study overseas helps students broaden their horizon while others hold the opinion that it is unnecessary to send students outside the country. It is a waste of money especially for those families are not too rich. After careful consideration of the statement that college students are required to study abroad for one semester at least by colleges or universities, I cannot fully agree with it. If the statement can be modified to colleges and universities recommend students enrolled to spend one semester oversea depend on the student family's financial situation and student's major, the statement would be ore justifiable and sound to me.

To begin with, I have to concede that having an oversea studying experience contribute students a lot in their future studies or career. With the globalization going deep, it is necessary to learn about cultures, languages and traditions other than an individual's native one. The understanding benefits a person much such as in the realm of international business and international relations. However, whether send student studying outside the country or not really depends on many factors, for example, the financial condition and major.

Based on a recent survey conducted by Beijing Normal University shows that 89% college students in China are receiving different kinds of financial aids in order to finish their college education. Obviously, their families have difficulties to pay their child for the trip to study abroad. After taking the potential benefits of studying overseas into consideration, the cost is still too much for a poor family to support a student study abroad. Many examples confirmed that without studying abroad, an individual could still be successful. Mr. Yu Ming-Hong, the founder of the largest education group in China named New Oriental, is from a poor family. He tried to apply an admission to universities in the United States. But he gave up due to many complicated reasons. He is earning more than a million dollars per year. From Mr. Yu, we can clearly see that a person can be successful without an education experience abroad.

On the other hand, some students majoring in such as Chinese Literature or International Business really need to study overseas for one or more semester in order to understand their major better. But this is also depends on their financial circumstance.

To sum up, it is not necessary for a student to study abroad for a better career or education. Even though the benefits of doing so is obvious, there are many other factors such as financial situation must be considered before making the decision.
