The art of studying overseas

Before going to another country, contact students in your institution

who have been to the country you are going to, and listen to their
advice. You also need to know what the food is like and try to plan
what you want to achieve while you are away – in terms of both
studying and sightseeing. After you get there, keep your mind
open and seize opportunities as they arise. It may be comforting to
see a familiar face in your first few week of homesick. Above all,
don’t be discouraged and don’t give up easily. You can remain
self-confident even if your fellow students are more fluent in the
local language.
