1. Are notlearn aboutcarefully consider where you will study abroad

For international students, the first thing you need to do is learn about the new location where you are going to study: Geography, natural conditions, society, culture, living expenses, internship and work opportunities...

If you don't research carefully, when you go to a foreign country, you will be "shocked" by the new place to live and study, the people, culture, and customs... which are so different and new.

Living expenses are also an important factor that you need to research carefully in advance; to plan for yourself a stable financial level to avoid the situation where you have spent all the money you brought after only a short time away from home.

2. Choosing the wrong major

Most international students often choose their major based on their family's guidance; with the following criteria: Easy to find a job, following the "hot" career trend...

But in reality, there is no easy job, nor is there a high-income industry. Success in work comes from your efforts, training, and constant striving.

3. Take foreign languages ​​lightly

Even though they were very good at foreign languages ​​when studying in Vietnam, the "academic" requirements when studying abroad have overwhelmed many international students.

Foreign language proficiency will limit international students' ability to acquire specialized knowledge; making their studies very difficult.

Language barriers will also make you reluctant to communicate with teachers, friends, and the community; to expand relationships and broaden knowledge.

So you need to build a study plan for yourself, improve your foreign language skills to adapt to the study environment abroad.

4.Not taking into account all costs

In addition to the costs paid to the study abroad company in Vietnam, there are many other fees (tuition and other costs for studying, living, food, etc.).

For example, when studying abroad in Korea, international students have to pay tuition and dormitory fees (school entrance fees in Korea are about 180-200 million VND, including 1 year of tuition and 6 months of dormitory).

5.Too busy working extra

Most international students want to earn extra income to cover their study abroad expenses and reduce the financial burden on their families. However, many students are so preoccupied with earning money that they do not pay attention to their studies.

If you cannot balance between working and studying, you will not be able to ensure your health and time to complete your studies. The study environment abroad requires students to know how to arrange their studies and work, and participate in social activities to achieve the highest goals.

6.Hesitatecommunicate with native speakers

Các du học sinh thường sẽ bỡ ngỡ khi tiếp xúc với môi trường mới, bạn bè từ nhiều quốc gia khác nhau trên thế giới. Tâm lý chung, các bạn thường tìm tới bạn đồng hương để chia sẻ và giúp đỡ nhau trong học tập và cuộc sống.

Mặt khác, nhiều du học sinh vẫn còn thiếu tự tin, ngại tiếp xúc với người bản địa do rào cản ngôn ngữ và văn hóa. Chính điều này đã làm mất đi cơ hội nâng cao trình độ ngoại ngữ, kiến thức và hòa nhập với văn hóa của người bản địa; đồng thời phát triển kỹ năng giao tiếp, tạo dựng các mối quan hệ, tìm kiếm việc làm.
