First, the process of studying abroad for college students 1. Personal passport:
The reasons why citizens go abroad for personal reasons are designated residence, visiting relatives, friends, studying abroad, employment, tourism, business and other non-official activities.

Except for going abroad to settle down, other reasons for leaving the country are marked as "short-term departure". In other words, "short-term departure" refers to reasons such as visiting relatives, friends, studying abroad, employment, tourism and business activities. Therefore, the terms "study passport", "travel passport" and "business passport" are inaccurate. By the way, the passport is valid for 5 years and can be extended twice for 5 years each time. When holding a passport, always pay attention to the validity period of the passport. Even if you use a passport that has expired for one day, you will be ruthlessly stopped by border inspectors.

After submitting the application form, you need to take a passport photo in the reception hall with the application receipt of the private exit certificate and your ID card. Therefore, applicants should pay attention to their clothes and appearance when applying. Otherwise, change clothes or get a haircut back and forth.

In order to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of citizens entering and leaving the country, the public security organs, in cooperation with the education department, the industrial and commercial administration department and the labor and social security department, continue to ban and crack down on illegal intermediary activities. However, there are still some institutions or individuals who illegally set up entry-exit intermediary agencies to engage in entry-exit intermediary activities, charge high fees or defraud money in order to seek high economic benefits and take advantage of the opportunity of others to study abroad. Therefore, foreign students must enhance their awareness of law and self-protection, contact legal intermediaries to find out whether the organizers have business licenses, whether the procedures are legal and whether the fees are reasonable, and sign effective contracts with intermediaries. In this way, once the rights and interests are infringed, you can also get compensation through legal channels. If you are cheated by an illegal intermediary, don't just want to cry, but actively report the situation to the relevant departments to prevent others from repeating the same mistakes.
Second, the benefits of studying abroad for college students 1. They can broaden their horizons and increase their knowledge.

Even if you go through all kinds of formalities and deal with all kinds of people, it is a good opportunity to exercise your self-independence and willpower.

Moreover, integration into the local environment is more helpful for language learning. Learning a language in a real life environment can improve faster than practicing it yourself. For example, living in a Spanish-speaking country can subtly exercise your Spanish ability in daily communication, so studying abroad can help international students better master one or more foreign language skills, which is very beneficial to their future development.
5. It will be more convenient to immigrate in the future.
When it comes to studying abroad, immigration is inevitable. It can be seen from the preferential policies of many countries that they hope to increase the number of immigrants by attracting international students.

Although considering that families who send their children to study abroad must have certain economic conditions, the cost of studying abroad is not a small expense for any family. Without a lot of financial support, most families dare not consider it.
In addition to the cost of study, the cost of living is also a big expense, such as renting a house and eating. It is not the same as the consumption level abroad. With parents' money, international students will also feel certain psychological pressure.
3. Language barriers. Cultural differences lead to poor communication.
The first thing to face when going abroad is the communication barrier caused by language barriers and cultural differences. Even if language skills can be communicated smoothly, cultural differences may cause many misunderstandings. Students from all over the world, in particular, may be exposed to international students, and their values and living habits will be very different.
4. Hide some dangers and temptations
After all, the environment abroad is different from that at home. People are more likely to be tempted by novelty in different environments, so they are more likely to encounter dangerous situations.
