Writing exercise

More students should do their degree at a university abroad rather than in their own country. Do you agree?

Some argue that studying at a foreign university is better than/more helpful/beneficial/conducive getting a degree in their mother country. I agree with people who hold this view.

Studying in a new environment can broaden/widen one’s horizons.
