What is an international student?

Stay abroad for study or research.

Studying abroad, formerly known as studying abroad, generally refers to a person going to a country outside his own country to receive various kinds of education, which can be short-term or long-term (from a few weeks to several years). These people are called "international students". In Chinese mainland, students call studying in Hongkong and Macau studying abroad, because these areas have different education systems. In addition, the English name "study foreign" of an overseas short-term exchange program organized by the United States and other countries is also literally translated as studying abroad. Please refer to overseas study (called overseas exchange in Chinese mainland).
