Reaction
My major is not related with this article however due to studying abroad, it makes me very interested. I`m also international student from Korea and mainly agree with this article. The most recently years, overseas studies are common among Korean students. The number of students going to start studying English became passed the ocean. Starting the fewer 1 year to until graduated school; lots of students are challenged to studying in abroad. When I in first time, I thought I can do everything. In the article states some reason, the first reason is high tuition fees for international students. The United States University`s one semester tuition fees are roughly double that of the Korea. A second reason is it is hard to study. The international students are having double work than American students. Those reasons are made give up studying in abroad.
