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
International students are often bewildered when they encounter a new environment and friends from many different countries around the world. In general, they often seek out their fellow countrymen to share and help each other in their studies and life.
On the other hand, many international students still lack confidence and are afraid to interact with local people due to language and cultural barriers. This has deprived them of the opportunity to improve their foreign language skills, knowledge, and integrate into local culture; at the same time, develop communication skills, build relationships, and find jobs.
