Are you afraid to study abroad?
You don’t talk about anything else. You see the Instagram photos that your friends posts, photos of them traveling and studying abroad, and you want to do the same.
Thousands of doubts and questions keep you awake. How do I know which country and university are the best for me? Do I meet the admission requirements? What happens if I make a mistake and want to go back home? Will I let my family down? In a nutshell, you ask yourself, will I really be able to study abroad?
We have an antidote to your overcome that fear in just 5 steps.
Step 1: Try to control situations that may become difficult.
First, remember that the difficulties that may come may be normal, you must trust yourself at all times, even when you make mistakes, because these are part of the learning process.
Step 2: Choose your program and your country well.
To do this, carry out an exhaustive search for the city and the educational institution that best suits your needs and with which you feel comfortable.
Step 3: If you have not taken the TOEFL, SAT OR IELTS, there are alternatives.
As for your fear of not meeting the requirements, many universities make academic advice available to their international students that will help you improve your language level (if you need it).
Step 4: Remember that you will not leave your circle of family and friends, instead, it will grow.
The “family warmth” that you are so afraid of losing can be found with your new friends and acquaintances at university. You will also be able to count with a counselor within the university who will facilitate your adaptation to the new country, to the new educational system, and make you feel safer and more integrated into your new reality every day. Trust me, you are ready. You have everything you need to change your life.
