Every year, thousands of students choose to study in another country for a term, or a year. Studying overseas can be an exciting experience for many people.
Why do it
Living in another country can help you to learn another language, and
about another culture. You will see the world in a new way, and learn more
about yourself. Overseas study may also look good on your future resume
(求职简历). Many companies today want employees who speak a second language, or have experiences living or working in another country.
Making the right choice
Once you decided to study overseas, you have to make some choices. To choose the right
country or school, ask yourself: Where do I want to go and why? How much do I want to pay? How
long do I want to study abroad? Do I want to live with roommates, alone or somewhere else?
Getting ready to go
Get your passport and visa early! Before you go, learn some of the language, and read about
some common customs in the country that you are going to. Learn about the money. Bring some of it and a credit card with you.
Once you are there
After the first few weeks overseas, many students will feel a little homesick. They may miss their family, friends, and familiar ways of doing things. Remember that it takes time to get used to a new place, school and culture. When you feel sad or homesick, try to talk to others, or write your feelings in a notebook.
