Why did you choose to go abroad for further study?

It is another year's entrance season. Whether from high school to undergraduate, or from undergraduate to graduate, more and more people choose to go abroad. It is very important to choose a learning atmosphere, cultural environment and professional direction suitable for your future development, whether you are going abroad or staying at home.

According to the data survey, many China students can't continue their studies and research in European campuses every year. 38% students believe that language barriers and cultural shock are the main reasons. 24% students feel that foreign courses are too difficult to complete their studies. (The data comes from the 20 17-20 18 White Paper on Studying Abroad)

If you don't make enough preparations before studying abroad, you may find the transition from a comfortable family life to an independent life abroad very difficult and stressful. If we know some useful information in advance to prepare before deciding to go abroad, or any emergency plan that may have problems during our study abroad. I think this will help you adapt to the foreign learning atmosphere as soon as possible and finish studying abroad as easily as possible.

1/ culture shock & homesickness culture shock &; Homesickness: After living in China for more than ten years, many people suddenly come to live and study in countries with completely different cultural backgrounds. The first thing they will definitely experience is cultural shock. The so-called "cultural shock" refers to the inadaptability or even rejection caused by a person entering a strange environment from a familiar environment. I can't adapt to the psychological fluctuations brought by different cultures, systems and values in a short time. Without a sense of belonging, it will more or less cause inner loneliness and fear, leading to a high level of homesickness.

Even if the culture of your country is very similar to that of the country you are going to, or if your mother tongue is English, most international students will still experience cultural shock, especially during the Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and other holidays. These moments are completely natural phenomena, and everyone who goes abroad will experience them. However, if you easily fall into such emotions, there may be some ways to shorten this cycle as much as possible and finally integrate into foreign cultures as soon as possible. Solution: 1 Keep an open and positive attitude towards what is happening around you and ask for help. 2. Call your parents regularly and look forward to returning to China during the holidays. 3. Consider a step-by-step way to study abroad, usually to adapt to the living atmosphere of foreign countries in advance at home, and then study abroad.

2/ Language Language problem Language is also a big part of cultural shock. If you decide to study abroad, you must break through the barrier between your mother tongue and a foreign language. To study abroad, we need to respect and integrate into the main languages needed for local life, work and study as soon as possible. Therefore, when you decide to go abroad, the question you need to consider is: Do you have enough foreign languages, or are you willing to get in touch with a strange language environment in advance and learn at any time?

Then there is the fear of not being able to establish a good relationship with teachers and classmates, and mistakes and improper wording in communication may deepen this frustration. No matter where, when and how you study abroad, the most important thing is to pull yourself out of your comfort zone and practice your foreign language skills.

Solution: 1, try to communicate and chat with local people, and gradually understand the language sense of the local language. 2. Listen and speak more local languages, and you can learn through movies, music, books and other interesting ways. 3. Consider the gradual way of studying abroad, feel the foreign language classroom in advance, and gradually transition to a complete foreign language environment in the dual environment of mother tongue and foreign language. 3/from dependent to independent t Many people decide to go abroad not because of their own wishes, but because of the guidance of their parents or teachers, or because they have made an unclear and hasty decision on their own development direction. Although going abroad has many advantages, it is not suitable for everyone. Even though many people have been abroad for many years, they still maintain their domestic living habits and are unwilling to go out of their comfort zones to find more opportunities and opportunities. Suddenly I came to a strange cultural atmosphere, and I had to do my own daily life and make my own decisions. They are immersed in their own world, and even have withdrawn psychology.

Especially because of the different education systems, from passively accepting teachers' care everywhere to relying on themselves, this process will bring extra pressure and even helplessness to learning. Once you choose to study abroad, your life abroad is in your own hands. Studying abroad is your own choice, not others', so it is most meaningful for you to decide your own experience.

Solution: 1 Adapt to the independent ability in advance before going abroad, and form the habit of living and studying independently. 2. Get out of the comfort zone, bravely overcome institutional and cultural barriers, and exercise independent judgment. 3. Consider a step-by-step way to study abroad, feel the living atmosphere abroad in advance, and gradually transition to a completely independent environment with the help of teachers. 4/ Budget and Finance Most of the expenses during going abroad may still be paid by parents, but such an expensive sum is still a very large expense for ordinary families. In addition to tuition, living expenses, accommodation and other expenses may make the budget exceed the standard. Otherwise, it will cause too much financial burden to the family, so studying abroad is not so cost-effective.

Although the cost of becoming an international student is high, many students try their best to study abroad. Because foreign educational resources are very rich, it is a pity to give up completely. From loans and grants to scholarships and savings, there are many ways to pay for college. Solution: 1 Apply for a scholarship and relieve the economic pressure by your own ability. 2. Work abroad to earn living expenses and reduce the family's economic pressure. 3. Consider a gradual way to study abroad, enjoy foreign education at a lower tuition price in the early stage, and fully integrate into foreign schools to obtain foreign diplomas in the later stage. 5/ Time Management Time Planning Many times, after we enter the school, it may be easy to spend a long time understanding and planning our own courses, aiming at various courses and majors. University is a good platform to cultivate and improve comprehensive ability, so it is necessary to make full preparations for time planning. Not only can you graduate on time, but you can also save a lot of time and money.

In addition to choosing a major, we may encounter many other trivial things, such as the risk of getting a visa, because the environment is not suitable for the risk of returning to China, which will lead to the disruption of our academic planning and career arrangements. So one way to find a balance at this time is to make a good plan, and it is also very necessary to make a backup plan for emergencies.

Solution: 1 Find out the courses you are interested in in advance and plan the time schedule of the whole university. 2. For emergencies that have happened, find other solutions, such as transferring schools and retaining degrees. 3. Consider the gradual study abroad mode, shorten the university time and reserve a long time to plan the later career and study.

Don't study abroad for the sake of studying abroad, but don't think about what kind of promotion it can bring to yourself and what kind of help it can bring to your later life. The significance of going abroad lies in living in a brand-new foreign environment through challenges to determine what you really want and what you want. Only in this way can this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity be even more precious.
