In addition - And

[LeUyenHoc]

Hi,

I have the following context:

Since I am a student, I have to face many difficulties when living far from my family. And/In addition, my university programs challenge me.

Would you tell me if we can use both "and" and "in addition" there? Is there any difference?

I guess "in addition" is more appropriate. Is mine wrong?

Thanks.

i think you are right.
in addition is a good transition that we can use in writing instead using the simple and.
