Conquer your fears and doubts.
Many schools employ full-time study abroad counselors who will help you arrange your trip.

Step 2: Consider your reasons（弄清楚自己出国真正的原因）
Consider your reasons for studying abroad, and be honest.

Step 3: Examine your academic plan（计划好自己的学业进程）

Choose a program. Your campus study abroad office or international programs office can provide information about what is available.

Decide where you are going to live: a dorm? An apartment? With a host family? Each has advantages and disadvantages in terms of meeting young people, assimilating into the new culture, and allowing you personal space.

Many programs have partnerships with noNPRofit companies and local organizations that will help you arrange housing, classes, and other important details.

Step 8: Do your research（进一步了解国外生活学习的准备工作）
Do further research on your destination. Do you need to get any immunizations?
