5 Common Challenges for students who plan to study abroad

Overcoming anxiety with a strategy
Moving abroad for further studies can be hard because one's career and future goals depend on this sole decision. One needs constant affirmations and support to start the new phase of life, leading to higher anxiety levels. While it is good to take advice from friends and relatives, one should not forget that personal growth usually happens when faced with challenging situations and by stepping out of our comfort zone. So one could look at the brighter side of things, focus on what can go right , have a plan B & C if something goes wrong, and not get swayed from achieving one's career goals .

Too many University/ Program options
The most important step in studying abroad is choosing the most suited university and program. But figuring out the 'suitability' sometimes becomes confusing and is one of the most difficult challenges for students. While there is no wrong or right way of choosing between options, it is more about realizing what suits and interests them and how would they acquire the most appropriate skills based on current abilities and if they are eligible for a particular program. Also the geographic location considering the industry and employment opportunities around would be a big consideration. Scholarships help to reduce the tuition burden while regional areas would mean lower living costs

Managing of Finances
Managing the finances is one of the students' major challenges when choosing a study option abroad. Tuition fees are not the only burden that a student has to bear, but also the accommodation, travel, living , and any medical costs year after year. Therefore, it becomes important to look for relevant programs/universities offering merit-based or need-based scholarships to international students and co-op programs that facilitate paid work while studying. These employers also act as references for later employment. Sometimes choosing an unpaid but relevant work may help get a better foothold within the industry later while a current paying low level job may only be a temporary financial help.

Dealing with Paperwork
Every institution has a unique criteria for admitting students to a particular program. One must check the official website of the concerned University/College and carefully go through the list of the documents required at the time of application submission. In addition, some student profiles and some special programs need extra documentation to support a successful admission. Universities may not have the extra resources to get back to you requesting any documents that you may have missed if the program is highly competitive or is over subscribed.

Most universities abroad ask for English proficiency scores from internationally recognized tests like IELTS, TOEFL , etc. Thus, it is advisable to start preparation in advance. Sometimes it helps to choose one test for admissions and another for the visa depending upon the time you have in hand!

Fear of Failure
Fear is a natural reaction to something we do not understand fully or is new to us. Moving to a new country and leaving behind friends, family, and country sounds scary at first, as this is a new experience for most students. Moving abroad alone and living there requires maturity and ability to take on the responsibilities to succeed in life. Real success can be achieved with passion, action, and faith in oneself despite the anxiety. In fact anxiety helps one to remain alert , and be prepared for all contingencies.
