    Chinese students have been heading abroad to pursue higher education for a long time. In hopes of better education and job prospect, young Chinese have been flocking to the U.S. and U.K. But a new study reveals that while many Chinese are enrolling at foreign institutions, not all are staying.
    Citing data compiled by the 2013 Overseas-Returned Graduate Recruitment Report and university statistics, the South China Morning Post reports that one in four Chinese students attending Ivy League universities in the U.S. end up dropping out. The study said that many found it difficult to adjust and adapt to the new environment, citing problems like language barriers and differences in the education system.
    On top of that, those students who do end up finishing their degrees don’t stay in the host country for long, and usually end up back in China. The study, which examined more than 9,000 professionals in 23 major cities in a cross-section of fields, found that half of returning graduates say the main obstacle of staying overseas is "economic conditions", followed by related issues like extremely competitive employment market, and poor social skills, which accounted for 38.9 percent and 33.6 percent of respondents’ reasons given, respectively.
    According to a report by the Center for China and Globalization (CCG), a nonprofit think tank in Beijing, students are dropping out of unaccredited higher education institutions, which are often referred to as "diploma factories." These schools in the U.S. are often similarly named to name-brand schools, purposefully misleading students to enroll. According to the think tank, 95 percent of diplomas from such shady institutions were given to students from China.

答案 Is an Overseas Study Worth It? Studying abroad has been popular among young people for their higher education instead of studying in their own countries. According to the given excerpts, many overseas students have dropped out due to several reasons. Some are reported to be unable to adjust to local study environment because of language barriers and culture shock. Some drop out owing to huge financial burdens and poor social skills while others return to their home country because they have been enrolled in "diploma factories". So is this kind of overseas study really worthwhile? In my opinion, only those who have clear aims and full preparations benefit most. Supporters for overseas study believe this international education really benefit them a lot. This not only opens their mind to another culture, but also helps them develop their diverse skills such as communication skills and change their ways of thinking of themselves and their future career. Such great experience enables them to handle people from different backgrounds. However, not all students can survive in the competitive educational jungle. According to the given data, almost 25% of students may drop out of universities due to many difficulties like language problems, unfamiliarity with academic references and inability to adapt to a new environment. Another issue is that after spending a fortune in another country, those survivors still go back to their own counties to find a job, which does not meet their initial expectation about career planning. Therefore, overseas study is not always a good choice for all students. They should have a clear goal, enough money and ability to study in a new place and reasonable expectations of themselves. Otherwise, they may either fail in this study or feel disappointed about this experience.
