Studying abroad does not need to be daunting. Here are five essential tips you need to know before taking the big leap.
Take an English exam
If English is not your native language, you need to submit your English exam score as part of your application to study in an English-speaking country. The test will check your proficiency across all four language skill areas: listening, reading, speaking and writing.
Undergo a medical exam
Everyone who is applying for a student visa is required to take a compulsory medical examination with a clinic affiliated to the embassy. In general, countries require physical examination, chest x-ray, and blood tests for infectious diseases.
Research about the country you’re going to
People from other countries and cultures are becoming more noticeable. You’re going to meet natives and experience situations that are unfamiliar to you. It’s best to research about the simple stuff like direction, food, traditions, etc. When you try to understand and embrace cultural differences, you open you up to a whole world of exciting new possibilities and experiences.
Save money
If you want to have a good, relatively stress-free financial life while you’re abroad, you need to save for your expenses. These may include tuition fees, books, transportation allowance, and housing. The best way to manage these types of expenses is to save for them in advance. This will not only save you money, but it will give you peace of mind.
Spend time with your loved ones
You will be away from them for a very long time, so spending your remaining days at home with them before you leave strengthens your ties.
