Travel as much as possible, explore the country!
5. Become independent
Studying and living abroad makes you independent, you learn to do things yourself, like cooking your meals, laundry and grocery shopping. These may look like such small things but doing them yourself without help, makes you independent.
Living alone, you make decisions on your own and don’t depend on your parents for guidance. All these attributes make you self-reliant. In the beginning, you may be terrified or scared of whether you are doing things the right way, but practicing and making mistakes teaches you.
6. Value your parents and home
A big lesson if you ask your friends or relatives that have studied abroad is that they value and respect their parents more than before. Staying alone teaches you not to take advantage of your parents and lifestyle back at home. The freedom to do anything you want without any consequence is a luxury you have only at home.
The meals at home like your homemade “rajma chawal” or “sambar rice” become tastier and you crave them more than the fancy pizzas and pasta you always wanted to have.
7. Add value to your CV
Studying abroad, learning the culture and living in another country adds more value to your CV. Especially if you study in a reputed university and a course that is of unique help. While studying abroad take advantage of all the facilities available, make sure whatever you do adds value to your CV and is visible to your future employers. Like learning a new language and taking up courses that are not usually available in India is always welcome by employers.
