Suggestion for studying aboard

while being away from family and friends, is something which more and more
Chinese students experience in the quest to gain a western sand maker
education.
based on my experience, the following five steps may prove useful
in assisting prospective overseas students in their preparations to study
overseas.
Get to know your new home before you land in it .
There is no
substitute for good preparation. Arm yourself with background knowledge by
researching information about the country you are going to. Learning about the
history, culture, tradition, language and even details such as food, music,
transport, weather and social activities of your new host country are all
important. Thanks to the Internet, most of this can be found at the click of a
button.
Attitude is everything.
Don't underestimate the power of the
mind in determining how events turn out. Decide how to approach any situation,
before you are placed in it. Positive thoughts about your new circumstances and
a positive attitude toward your new home and hosts will bring positive results.
Alternately, many people set themselves up for failure simply by talking
themselves out of success. Don't sabotage your chances at being happy and
successful in your future study and new life before they have even started.
Maintain focus on one or two major goals (not too many) and work steadily and
gradually towards these.
Pack using your head and your heart.
It's not
easy being practical when deciding what to pack and there is always that
temptation to bring cherished personal belongings such as books, letters or
fluffy toys. Whatever you bring, make sure that is will be something that you
think might help your chances of succeeding.
This includes practical items
such as study materials, old class notes, favorite textbooks or pens and even
the contact details of previous teachers. It might also include some small
luxuries such as study music or well-packaged snack foods. Items of sentimental
value such as a flipbook with photographs of family and friends or a favorite
item of clothing can help you feel closer to home.
