6 reasons why students from Nigeria prefer to study abroad – #2 is the worst

5. Low cost of living

In developed countries, the cost of living is relatively low compared to what we have in Nigeria and this is due to their buzzing economy. Also, the way in which the economy and education is structured in such countries gives students the chance to school and work at the same time. This is a plus for students who study abroad because through the proceeds of their job, they can support themselves as well. In such countries, a working student can make as much as government workers in Nigeria. This is another reason why Nigerian students prefer to study abroad, especially in much more developed countries.
