Discuss: Talk to Alumni and Students who have studied in that university or in that country to get a clear idea and sense of the challenges and experiences that you might encounter. Also, talking to people who have completed the same course you’ve chosen will give you a chance to ask specific questions that might help you power through your academic year.
A
ffordability factor: Studying Abroad can be quite expensive. Taking into consideration the affordability factor and estimate a budget. Firstly, calculate the course fees and know how much money you will need. Apart from the various student loans that banks offer, you could also be eligible for various types of scholarships. So, check with your university at the time of creating a budget.

 Mandatory Documents: You need to have a valid passport to enter a foreign nation. However, since most countries insist on a student visa, be sure to apply for one much in advance and confirm its validity until your study period. Also, make sure you have insurance that will cover you in case when you get sick or have any serious medical issues.

 Ensure you are in good health: Visit your doctor and make sure you’re in good health before you head out to study in a foreign country. Check if you need to take any specific vaccines prior to your travel. Ask for a few recommendations and suggestions for basic medicines you might need there.

 Local connection: If you already have a family living in the same area where your university is located nearby, you’re lucky because you can feel secure and count on them in case of any emergencies. But if you don’t have any family or friends living around your college, spread the word about your travel and you will definitely know someone who knows someone living in the vicinity.

 Social norms: To avoid any kind of embarrassment and awkwardness, find out as much as you can about the place before you head overseas. Although English is widely spoken, check if you have to learn any local language and make an effort to study and construct some basic sentences to get along there. Also, researching on the local religion will lend you insights into their customs.

 Banking: You can’t carry too much of cash and your plastic money might not work in a foreign country. The first thing you should do when you reach there and get your student identity card is to open a bank account. Setting up a bank account can give you quick access to your money and also keep it safe until you want to use it.

Smart pack: Pack your clothes according to the climate. You must be prepared for weather varying from summer and spring to winter. Remember to carry copies of your passport, credit and debit cards for reference and plan tickets among other important documents.
