Why do it

Making the right choice
Once you decide to study overseas，you have to make some choices．To choose the right country or school，ask yourself：Where do I want to go and why？How much do I want to pay？How long do I want to study overseas？Do I want to live with roommates，alone or somewhere else？
Getting ready to go
Get your passport and visa early！Before you go，learn some of the language，and read about some common customs in the country that you are going to．Learn about the money．Bring some of it，and a credit card with you．
Once you are there
After the first few weeks overseas，many students will feel a little homesick．They may miss their family，friends，and familiar ways of doing things．Remember that it takes time to get used to a new place，school，and culture．When you feel sad or homesick，try to talk to others，or write about your feelings in a notebook.

为什么要到海外学习
生活在另一个国家有助于学习该国的语言，了解该国的文化。你将用一种新的方式看世界，还能对自身有更多了解。海外求学还能给你未来的履历增光添彩。现在的许多公司都需要能说第二门语言或是有海外生活、工作经验的雇员。
做出正确的选择
一旦你决定要到海外求学，你必须做出选择。为了选择正确的国家或学校，你要问自己：我想去哪里学习？为什么？我得付多少钱？我想学多长时间？我想和室友一起住、一个人住还是在别的地方住？
准备出发
及早准备护照和签证！出发前，对该国的语言、常见的风俗习惯及货币要有所了解。随身携带一些该国的现金及一张信用卡。
一旦你到了那里
在海外度过头几周后，许多学生会感到有些想家。他们可能思念自己的家人、朋友以及熟悉的做事方式。记住：熟悉新地方、新学校和新文化需要时间。当你感到难过或想家时，多和别人说话，或是把自己的感受写进笔记本里。
