2- Diversity
During your university years you will meet people from different countries. They will have cultures, religions, traditions and customs that you do not know and start creating knowledge about them.
3- Contact with family and friends
If you have decided to study away from family and friends the contact will be less than before. Although you will find some time to communicate with them again it will not be enough.
