Advantages of studying abroad
1, improve competitiveness
The competitiveness here is aimed at external gains, such as studying abroad status, prestigious school certificates, scientific research achievements and so on. In fact, after going abroad, the improvement of foreign language level has gained one more skill than most people. Coupled with years of study abroad experience, the accumulated results will lay the foundation for future work.
Step 2 make new friends
Studying abroad will make people have to go out of their fixed circles and invest in a new environment, which is also more disturbing and challenging. Studying abroad can provide a very good place for people who are good at interpersonal communication. A university brings together people from all over the world. When they meet new friends, they will also understand the different world views of people from different worlds.
3. Learn overseas languages and cultures.
As mentioned above, an important advantage of studying abroad is that you can learn different languages and cultures. According to theory, the fastest way to learn a language is to use it as much as possible in the language environment. When foreign students are forced to use a new language in a different language environment, their ability to use this new language more fluently is likely to improve. Furthermore, students can experience a new culture, on the other hand, they can have a new understanding of their own world and learn to identify with the diet, language, social customs and economic environment of the new culture. These are all experiences that students who have received their own cultural education do not have.
4. Increase social skills.
In the new environment, communication becomes an obstacle, so students are forced to become more mature and learn how to integrate into new groups, which is difficult to learn in the original familiar environment. In a new and unfamiliar environment, students must learn to spend more time communicating with others to meet their most basic needs. This makes students more integrated into society-this is the quality that today's society and its young people need.
Step 5 enrich your resume
From an academic point of view, students with overseas study experience are more popular in the job market. In today's society, more and more enterprises are more global, so the demand for multicultural students is stronger. Enterprises urgently need to find candidates who are proficient in other languages and highly integrated into other cultures.
6, don't consider the domestic single-plank bridge college entrance examination.
To study abroad, most schools don't need to look at the results of the college entrance examination. Even if there is an exam, it is an independent test by the school. Compared with the millions of college entrance examination troops, the competition is relatively easy. Secondly, if you study abroad, even if your grades are average, you will have the opportunity to read the world famous schools with the same level as domestic key universities.
Study abroad process
1. Make a study abroad plan
In the preparation stage of studying abroad, students need to make a reliable study abroad plan according to their own actual situation, and comprehensively choose the suitable study abroad countries and institutions according to their own learning situation, language performance and family economic situation.
2. Calculate the cost of studying abroad
Students applying to different institutions in different countries also need different fees. For example, when applying for a visa, students need to issue a bank deposit certificate. Therefore, parents must plan ahead before preparing their children to study abroad. After all, when applying for a visa, they are strict about the cost.
3. Language training
Language is one of the problems that every foreign student will encounter, and different foreign universities have different requirements for students' language scores. Generally speaking, if students want to apply for a better foreign institution, their IELTS score needs to reach 6.5-7 and TOEFL score needs to reach 90- 100. It is very necessary to carry out language training in advance for students with unsatisfactory language performance.
4. School application
After all the materials were prepared, the students began to apply for colleges and universities. The application time and standards of different schools are different. Students must be optimistic about the application time of their intended institutions in advance and apply for materials in advance so as not to miss the time.
Step 5 apply for a visa
Students can apply for a visa when they get an offer from a university. Students must prepare all the visa application materials in advance. Visa officers attach great importance to the authenticity of student materials and the purpose of studying abroad. I would like to remind students not to show immigration tendency in future interviews, otherwise it will affect the visa processing results.
Extended reading: What kind of students are suitable for studying abroad?

After all, when all of us arrive in a new environment, the first stage is adaptation, followed by learning and growth.
2. Students with academic goals
If you have your own clear academic goals and know what major to choose, the research at home may make you feel incomplete. You are eager to explore a new world in this field and want to know how foreign research is. International schools may have many educational and research opportunities that domestic schools do not have. There are unknowns and infinite possibilities.
3. Students with certain language skills.
If you want to study abroad, you must pass the language test. Some people may tell you that it is more suitable to study English abroad, but it is not necessarily the case, otherwise you will feel very uncomfortable at first. Foreign countries only provide you with a learning environment and atmosphere, and more importantly, you need to take the initiative to learn. Don't underestimate the basic language ability, which is the key to the success or failure of many international students.
4. Students with good self-control ability
Self-control is very important to each of us. There are many temptations abroad, not only material, but all aspects. Only by controlling your own desires can you put more energy into your study.
