Every year，thousands of students choose to study in another country for a term，the summer，or a year．Studying overseas can be an exciting experience for many people．

Why do it

Living in another country can help you to learn a language，and about another culture．You will see the world in a new way，and learn more about yourself．Overseas study may also look good on your future resume．Many companies today want employees who speak a second language，or have experienced living or working in another country．

Making the right choice

Once you decide to study overseas，you have to make some choices．To choose the right country or school，ask yourself：Where do I want to go and why？How much do I want to pay？How long do I want to study overseas？Do I want to live with roommates，alone or somewhere else？

Getting ready to go

Get your passport and visa early！Before you go，learn some of the language，and read about some common customs in the country that you are going to．Learn about the money．Bring some of it，and a credit card with you．

Once you are there

After the first few weeks overseas，many students will feel a little homesick．They may miss their family，friends，and familiar ways of doing things．Remember that it takes time to get used to a new place，school，and culture．When you feel sad or homesick，try to talk to others，or write about your feelings in a notebook.
