Studying Abroad

Are you planning to pursue a course from a foreign university? Well, then you certainly come to the right place. These tips for studying abroad will surely make you feel at home in a new city. Just have a look!

1._____________________________

Before you leave for your destination country, make sure that you are well aware of its culture, customs and traditions. Every country has its own culture, which may be different from yours. Therefore, if you wish to get adjusted to the local way of living in a short time, you must be aware of what the people eat, how they dress up and also what their sensibilities are. Also, you can catch a few of the commonly used words of the local language there. In this way, not only will you be able to make yourself feel at home in the new city, but also will be spared from experiencing a major culture shock.

2._____________________________

This is perhaps the most important thing to keep in mind before you set off to foreign shores to study. Make note of all the essential papers you would need before and during your stay abroad, especially the passport and the visa. It is recommended that you make copies of both, your passport and visa, in case you might be required to get a new one during the course of your stay there. Also, at least one other member of your family should have a passport made so that you can have somebody by your side if you fall sick or in case of other emergencies. Also, it is a good idea to carry a few copies of your photo, in case you need to use one. Another thing that’s necessary is to get a health insurance to cover the expenses of a medical emergency abroad.

3.__________________________

When you decide to pursue a course abroad, it is extremely important that you should research well. Don’t just follow advertisements and choose one blindly. Instead, talk to people who have completed their studies from that country or who are planning to move to the same country. This way you’ll get some reliable information.

4.____________________________

Not only will it make it easier for you to face personal interviews but also to interact with the local people and follow students. The more you speak to people, the more you’ll end up making friends quickly. What a way to drive the blues away!

5.___________________________

Get the details of the Embassy(大使馆)in the city you’re moving to, including the phone number and register yourself and your family members with the Embassy. This way you’ll know whom to reach out to in case you are in trouble in a foreign location.

  For most of us, the purpose of the holidays is to bring peace, love, and goodwill towards all.Yet, for many, the holiday season often means stress, tiredness, pressure, disappointment and loneliness.

  These feelings, often known as the “holiday blues,” may be even more common this year, due to the emotional disorder of the past few months, not to mention the unsteady economy.Experts say even the more usual tasks of shopping, decorating, late-night parties, cooking, planning and family reunions can be holiday stressors.

  In addition, the psychological phenomenon known as seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, may bring a specific type of depression related to winter's shorter days and longer nights.

  “Certainly just because it's the holidays doesn't mean people are going to be happy,” says Dr.Doug Jacobs of Harvard University.“And this will be a particularly hard holiday for some who are dealing with a lost job, debt, or even a lost loved one.”

  And with family reunions becoming less frequent events over the years, there is now the added pressure of getting just one chance to get it all right.“Families are much more different now,” says John Stutsman, a clinical psychologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago.The disappointment and sense of unfriendliness that often results from family gatherings, he adds, are actually a realization that “the fantasy is not met”.

  Still, say experts, the blues should be dealt with.The most essential step, says Stutsman, is for the individual to admit their feelings and the reason for their depression.“Disagreement will only compound the stress they're feeling.”

  Stutsman recommends people do things that are normally comforting in order to get a handle on the holiday stress.“If they're feeling a little blue, they should try to do things personally satisfying for them.Maybe this is exercise, cooking, reading a book, or massage.”

  Stutsman also advises that sometimes “avoidance is actually not such a bad idea”.In some situations, fulfilling social obligations may be self-destructive when the best thing may be to just stay home.“The healthy choice has to do with taking care of oneself.”
