Some thoughts about working or studying far away from home

As we grow up, we all face some choices in our life. Choosing the location of your work or study is one of the top priorities for those, who would determine their whole life in a significant way, friends, environment, lifestyle, character, adaptment, etc.
Would you prefer to work or study near your home or parents, or prefer to choose a place far away? For me, I choose the last option. Here is my reason for this:
First of all, you can enlarge your field of vision by working or studying in other places that are always different from your hometown. Just imagine, how it would be exciting to experience various cultures, custom and lifestyle. Without a firsthand experience, it's hard to tell that sort of exact feeling and to gain the knowledge.
Secondly, you will get a vivid, colorful, wonderful and unforgettable memory in your life when your life is much more dramatic like that. You have some friends from different places, you share what you know about life with your friends, you go for sightseeing together...
Lastly, you can be more independent by living yourself, far away from your parent. I can't agree with this opinion more! When I went to my university the first time, I just went by myself despite the extremely long distance to be a huge barrier for my parent to go with me. My classmates, most of them were local or not far from my university, went with their parents. And they always asked their parents for help during the whole college time. Finally, after they graduated, some of my friends were so scared about working in another city, because they were relying on their parents!
So the final conclusion is, there are more advantages than disavantages to have a life or experiences in a place far away from home!
