The effects outweigh the disadvantages. Going to college in another city can exercise your ability to live independently. After all, you are a college student. After graduation, you have to face it. Early contact is good. At the same time, you can make many friends from different places and broaden your contacts. Prepare good interpersonal relationships for future work.

The disadvantage is that it may be inconvenient to go home. One of my classmates is studying in a university in Jilin, and it takes one and a half days to go home by train every time.
