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 literal translation of the English name "Study foreign" of an overseas short-term exchange program organized by the United States and other countries is also studying abroad.
College students, that is, groups registered in universities and receiving education, including full-time and on-the-job part-time study, are usually students at school, excluding self-taught candidates. Graduates from various institutions of higher learning are generally called university degrees.
