Top 10 Study Abroad Tips for International Students
Studying abroad during college was my best experience. I was able to live in Paris and attend a university there as an exchange student. Those are some of my favorite memories!
This post is about my best suggestions and advice for college students who are planning to study abroad soon. These are some of the biggest mistakes I made, some things I did right, and other useful tips for your study abroad!
1. Plan to study abroad as soon as possible
At the end of the new year, I decided that I wanted to study abroad during the spring semester of my second year. I immediately started planning. Over the summer, I found the program I wanted to do and researched all its details. I went ahead and booked my flight and also lined up an apartment found on Airbnb. Then once school started back in the fall, I applied for my program and was accepted. Finally, I received the student visa I needed in the months before my departure and turned down some other details, such as registration for classes.
Planning is important because you have to take care of a lot of details before studying abroad. I suggest that when you plan to leave you start planning for at least six months so that you have time to do everything.
2. Read the Consular Information Sheet (and public announcements or travel warnings, if applicable) for the countries you plan to visit.
3. Leave copies of your itinerary, passport data page, and visa at home with family or friends, so that you can be contacted in an emergency. Keep your host program informed of your whereabouts.
4. Make sure you have insurance during your stay abroad that will cover your emergency medical needs (including medical evacuation).
5. Familiarize yourself with the local laws and customs of the countries you are visiting. Remember, living in a foreign country, you are subject to its laws!
6. Never leave your belongings unattended in public areas and never accept packages from strangers.
7. While abroad, avoid using illicit drugs or drinking excessive amounts of alcoholic beverages and engaging with people who do so.
8. Do not be the target of thieves by wearing attractive clothes and expensive jewelry and do not carry excessive amounts of cash or unnecessary credit cards.
9. Only deal with authorized agents when you exchange money to avoid violations of local laws.
10. Abroad, avoid demonstrations and other situations that may be uncontrolled or where anti-American sentiments may be expressed.
