🇬🇧 Advantages of studying in another city or country

In this text I will talk about the advantages of studying in another city (away from home) or country (abroad), far from the family. Some of them can be exercised in your hometown, but not to the same extent. And they can all be practiced with professional experience elsewhere, but they're more interesting if you start early. Of course, the person's maturity influences how much each of the following points is put into practice. I lived with people who each vacation brought several suitcases full of dirty clothes for their mother to wash, even though they lived hundreds of miles away. I've always preferred to wash my clothes at my home (not my family's) or take them to the dry cleaners.  These behavioural differences affect how much you enjoy the experience of living away.

1. Self knowledge.
2. Exercise detachment.
3. Exercise independence.
4. Getting to know different cultures.
5. Living with different people.
6. Develop adaptability.
7. Develop creativity.
8. Feel freer from the judgments of others.
9. Develop the ability to think about creative solutions to problems (and this helps a lot in your career).
10. Development of self-esteem.
11. Develop resource management skills.
12. Take advantage of more professional opportunities. If you are used to living away since college, it is much easier to take advantage of career opportunities elsewhere.

If you live far from your family, comment on other benefits you perceive in this experience.
