In the video, each student has it's own reason. For example Linxi,the girl from China, chose an American university because of the high grades required by the universites in her country. And she thinks that American schools offer more opportunities for practise. Krishna, Dutch girl, finds American education system better than European systems. She likes that American education system is based on creativity and teamwork. Arata, boy from Japan, says he got used to study in a foreign country because he had been England and Canada for his high school education.
They heard about ONU in different ways. Linxi chose the university with the help of an agency in her country. Krishna consulted her grandfather who has been living in USA for 22 years and one of his friend graduated from there recommend the university them so she chose the university.
There are some diffirences between American education system and others. For instance, in Japan universities require an entrance system and when students choose their departmant, they can not change it later. In Europe, there is a strict education program. They give students books and planning and that's it. But American education system is more flexible and you have a chance to do more than studying.
The cost of living and studying in USA is depend on many factors such as housing, boarding, fees you have to pay and depertmant you studying. It's approximately 30-35 thousand dollars.
They had some benefits from living abroad. They found a chance to know America and American culture better. They broke their borders, met new friends from a new country and had chance to experience living in another country.
They experienced culture shock naturally. Linxi found it strange that in America people wear shorts in winter even when the weather is freezing. Because he live in a close culture in Japan Arata was surprised when he saw that people say what you think directly but he loved it.
I would like to have such an experience too but the cost of something like that, living in a diffirent country, being alone there and trying to deal with difficulties by myself frighten me. I would be an incredible opportunity for me to experience such thing. Studying a foreign language in your hometown is really difficult because you speak this language only when you are in lesson. Outside you are speaking your mother tongue so it is in vain to try master the language you learn. So it would be a great chance to improve my language.
