Studying abroad is a chance to enhance every aspect of your college career. It’s an opportunity to grow as a person by challenging yourself with different culture and lifestyle, while also broadening your viewpoint of the world. It’ll open up a new world of academic experiences and help you put your major in perspective and even allow you to explore a new path. It’s a chance for you to push yourself further than you ever imagined..
Before you go studying abroad, take a look at the study abroad tips and make sure that you are fully informed about your destination, what you need to do before departure, how to find accommodation and how to adapt to your new situation once you arrive. Studying in a foreign language is a great experience and requires hard work but will be a great adventure.
Popular Study destinations for Indians students include:
• Study in U.S.A
• Study in UK
• Study in Australia
• Study in Germany
• Study in Canada
1. You should be well informed (Research)
Yes, there's a way to find information online, but the fastest and easiest way is to ask someone who has experienced that place firsthand. We can learn a lot by asking in advance what others think of the college you're looking at, not just from the student prospective but from their parents as well.
You can search the contact details of your university personnel. Here you can get the complete information regarding your course, hostel stay and acadamic pattern.
2. Bag-packing
There are a number of documents and documentation you'll need in order to study overseas, including the most important - your visa.
Winter in most countries is totally different from what we experience in India. Pack warm and waterproof outfits or sweaters, hoodies, jeans, track pants, leggings etc. A hat and gloves will add to your comfort too.
3. Prepare for living in a foreign country
Language and communication is one of the biggest challenges that travellers have to face. Try to learn a bit of the language. It will make it just a little bit easier for you to communicate with people there and give you a bit more of an insight into their culture.
It is generally advisable to do some research on the country you plan on visiting. Try to have some knowledge of the history and political background of the country you are visiting so that you can be more familiar with the people there.
4. Scholarships for international students
Different universities offer different scholarships and I wouldn't recommend concentrating in one field. Take your time when choosing your specialism but remember to save some place for cash-strapped degree programs. It is important to obtain scholarships otherwise you’ll end up owing too much and this can be detrimental to your future career.
