This review of the literature summarizes the challenges and benefits of studying abroat alternatives. The increasing number of students studying abroad is posing problems for both students and higher education institutions. Colleges have found it difficult to provide international students with enough institutional and personal support. Students who study abroad have a number of challenges, including language barriers, social integration issues, and financial difficulties. Despite these challenges, colleges and students alike have profited from the rising number of students studying overseas. These benefits include financial gains for the school as well as improvements for both domestic and international students and host institutions to obtain global knowledge and cross-cultural understanding. There are recommendations to help international students.
