Preparation for studying abroad

Prepare yourself mentally: Studying abroad means that you have to be independent in a different environment without family and friends. However, you will definitely be able to make good friends, especially those who come from different places, different languages, and different customs.

Visit your doctor: You should plan to see your doctor to make sure that you are in a good health condition. Also, you should bring a copy of your medical records in case of an emergency overseas.

The kind of study abroad experience in Vietnam you’re looking to have involves your housing options. Depending on your placement and program, you can have various choices ranging from an apartment/flat, a student dormitory to a homestay placement.
