An analysis of the six most common problems when studying abroad

In recent years, the number of students studying abroad has increased rapidly, and more and more students and parents have inquired about issues related to studying abroad. 86 I have specially compiled the six major issues about studying abroad that students and parents are most concerned about, and introduced them to students and parents.

1. When studying abroad, how should you choose a country to study in?

Answer: Different countries, or even different regions of the same country, have different cultural values, customs, and climates, as well as differences in education systems, teaching methods, international student study abroad policies, visas, and many other aspects. There is quite a difference. Students can make a comprehensive measurement from the following aspects:

First, the cultural atmosphere. Generally speaking, the United States is a country that advocates freedom and enthusiasm, and is suitable for students who are outgoing and creative. Countries such as the United Kingdom, France, and Italy continue the aristocratic tradition of nobility and elegance, and are suitable for "gentlemen and ladies" who aspire to become "gentlemen and ladies." students;

The second is the education form, academic system, curriculum, teaching methods, etc., which is also an important indicator. For example, undergraduate education in the UK only takes three years, and a master's degree only takes one year. The shorter academic system saves students money. The American education system is very suitable for students who advocate freedom and are full of individuality;

The third is favorable policies for studying abroad. Students and parents can pay close attention to various study abroad policies and exchange rate changes. From the perspective of the cost of studying abroad, in many European countries with small languages, the tuition fee plus living expenses per year does not exceed 100,000 yuan, and public schools are even free of charge.

2. Will it waste time if I finish my freshman year in China and then study abroad?

Answer: It will not waste time to study abroad after finishing your freshman year in China. For example, the undergraduate programs in the United Kingdom, Australia, and the Netherlands are all three years, one year less than in China. After completing your freshman year in China, you can directly start your three-year undergraduate study, which will be seamlessly connected. You can still graduate at the same time as your classmates who are studying in universities in China, without wasting time.

We need to remind students that the study abroad paths will be very different depending on the country you apply to. Different overseas institutions have different requirements for language scores. Even if you use the same application plan, the schools you end up attending will be different and cannot be generalized.

? 3. Parents have never experienced their children’s life abroad, and have fewer and fewer similar topics?

Answer: It is children who study abroad, but it is recommended that domestic parents also understand the life of overseas schools, the situation of children in host families, major overseas festivals and customs, famous attractions, and the situation of international students abroad. Wait, with this knowledge as a background, parents can inspire their children to talk about many topics during cross-ocean calls, and it will also make their children feel warm. Because even though they are thousands of miles away from their parents, their parents are so attentive to understanding their situation overseas. Children can always feel their parents' care and have more confidence in their daily study and life.

4. When your children study abroad, how do you supervise their lives thousands of miles apart?

Answer: When children study abroad, they should learn to be independent. Too much help and supervision may slow down the child's adaptation process. Worried parents can help their children develop good work, rest and study habits before their children go abroad, and teach them their own schedules: including when to get up, have dinner, and do homework, so as to develop self-discipline. In addition, parents can also help their children choose a middle school with more rigorous management, which can clearly arrange the students' schedule, including eating at 6 o'clock every day, some free activities before 7 o'clock in the evening; arranging evening self-study from 7:00 to 9:30 o'clock, Arrange students' study and life with clear schedules.

? 5. I don’t have much money to study abroad. What are my options to save money when I study abroad?

Answer: For families with a relatively limited budget for studying abroad, you can choose tuition-free public universities in Europe. Many countries in continental Europe, such as France, Germany, Italy, and Finland, provide tuition-free education. Students who apply to public universities in these countries do not need to pay tuition. They only need to pay a few hundred euros in registration fees every year. Living expenses in Europe are about 60,000 to 70,000 yuan per year. Most courses in France, Germany, and Italy require corresponding minor language teaching. Students entering professional courses need to reach a B1 or above minor language level; however, some universities are gradually opening English-taught courses. In addition to the four tuition-free study abroad countries mentioned above, students can also consider niche European study abroad countries such as Hungary and Poland. Tuition fees in Hungary and Poland are about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan per year, and living standards are relatively low.

6. If you want your children to immigrate smoothly after studying abroad, which country is better to choose?

Answer: Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are all popular countries for studying abroad and immigrating. In Canada, students can obtain a three-year work visa after completing a 2 to 3-year academic course. After accumulating one year of full-time work experience in the process, they can apply for a Maple Leaf Card. Students studying in Australia and New Zealand, after completing more than two years of undergraduate degree courses, can obtain a local green card and become permanent residents as long as they obtain a work visa and accumulate corresponding work experience.

In addition, the United States also welcomes outstanding talents to stay in the country for employment and development after studying abroad. Students studying in the United States can apply for a 12-month internship visa before graduation and use this time to find a job. In the United States, accounting is also a major that is very conducive to immigration. As long as you pass the North American CPA (Certified Accountant) exam, it is equivalent to having a green card in sight.
