To study abroad, if you want to integrate into the local life as soon as possible, you can do some background knowledge about the study destination before going, and learn about the local diet, culture, climate, traditional customs and so on. Make good preparations for English before going abroad and try to improve your English.

2. Don't be too "home" in life.

When studying abroad, some students will inevitably feel lonely at first. At first, I will get used to staying with people from China, because I will feel more comfortable. If there were fewer people from China at school, I might feel lonely. It's good to be with China people, but I think we still need to integrate into foreign cultures. If there are few people in domestic schools, it is normal to feel uncomfortable at first. To overcome this situation gradually, don't stay indoors all day surfing the Internet or something.

3. Preview the course in advance and grasp the classroom rhythm.

In American universities, students are required to choose their own courses. And if you choose a difficult course in one semester, it means a lot of academic pressure. We have to read a lot of materials in every class. Just abroad, our language level has not reached the reading speed of foreigners, but the school will not treat it differently, and will assign many reading tasks according to the reading speed of Americans. Besides reading, I have to write a paper. Some students may feel great pressure, and some even hide in the dormitory and cry.

Course selection should be difficult to match, not full-text subjects or all-science subjects. If you choose a difficult course, try not to choose another course with the same difficulty. The understanding of the course can not be limited to the content, but also depends on the professor's score, teaching level and so on. Because some courses sound simple, but when you go to class, you will find some professors who teach graduate students to teach undergraduate courses. They will talk about some very complicated theories. If you don't understand them, you will collapse.

I have a buddy who didn't understand the concept of course selection at that time, so he chose a course that he was interested in and found easy to take according to his name. At that time, he wanted to finish his GPA junior year and senior year so that he could go out for an internship. He took several courses ... Only in the United States did he find that the content taught by the professor was 108,000 miles worse than expected. I paid the money, bought the textbook, and finally I couldn't learn any more. After three months of school, I dropped more than half of my classes, so I beat Shui Piao with 7000 yuan. Therefore, before choosing a course, you can consult the seniors or friends you know to see if your curriculum is reasonable and do a good job of research in advance.

If I don't know any seniors or friends, there is a consulting company called Easy Course Education, which is not bad (it's not a trust or an advertisement, and the five-hair party lightly sprays ...). Before going abroad, I consulted this company, and I learned about the course selection strategy of American universities in advance, selected courses in China, and previewed what I wanted to learn in advance. I don't feel so hard after school, and I can keep up with the pace of the teacher in almost two weeks.

Studying abroad, self-study ability is very important.

Teachers don't have much time to take care of you. Basically, I left after class, and I can only discuss with them twice a week. Really, many problems have to be solved by themselves. Usually, you can study with students with strong learning ability, and help each other if you don't understand. In addition, when you encounter questions you don't understand, you should be smart and bold to ask questions. Speaking in class in America is quite free, and professors will be happy to answer some questions. The questions asked are very valuable and will lead to many interesting questions. If you ask more questions in class, the professors will be impressed by you, or they may create some opportunities invisibly. For example, when you are a junior or a senior, some prestigious professors will recommend students to practice in the company.

In short, the master leads the door and practices in the individual. Go out on your own, be diligent, thoughtful and curious, and never indulge and degenerate because of loneliness and pressure.

Finally, I wish you an early return!

-I'm a dividing line.

Finally, finally ...

The study abroad circle is not big, but it is not small.

Maybe some friends I know will recognize me through this post, and I will hide here in shame. ...

If you have any questions you don't understand, please ask me here and I'll try my best to help you answer them.
