Generally, the study is necessary for the human being; since life and development depend on to
study a lot, whether it’s science, religion, or arts. But the environment and the locations have
more controversies which are best to study, for example, some people prefer to study abroad for
some reason, while others prefer to learn in their home country. However, in this study it’s
believed that both local and abroad have their similarity and their differences, so, studying
locally and studying abroad both have the same method of study but they have different
integrated societies.

First of all, both local and abroad studies have the same method of study. Since the study is more
priority to this situation, most of the countries have the same method of study. For example, the
world universities give courses or faculties, so they give a very similar curriculum, so the student
learns the two situations in the same courses. That makes both local and abroad be the same.
More ever that, the local has its own rules in terms of credit hours per course, likewise the abroad
is just like that since the education system is under the management of UNESCO. However,
although the local and abroad are very far from each other both they have the same method of
study.

Secondly, local and abroad studies have different integrated society. Since the people of the
world have different colours, different, languages, different cultures, the student will meet more
challenges on abroad, since he/she will meet new people, new environment, the new society, but
the home is different from that, he/she knows everything about the society. For example, if you
go to the market and try to buy something, you may face language barriers that are different from
your home country. On the top of that, the abroad has new kind of problems in terms of
university context, because the professor and lecture don’t more about your culture, your
character, but the home lecture and professor know more about yours, so this one of the biggest
challenges that can be faced in abroad. Therefore, studying abroad teaches the student to meet a
lot of new people while in local the student meets the same people.
