What do Boutros Boutros-Ghali, Bill Clinton and George Soros have in common? They all studied abroad. While it isn’t the only way to become a world leader or billionaire, it certainly provides an amazing opportunity to broaden your mind and meet new people who can shape your future career.
If you’ve been thinking about studying overseas in 2010 but are not sure where to start then StudyLink can help. In this article we’ve come up with ten sure-fire ways to make sure you’re studying somewhere else in the world this year.
1. Make a commitment
Studying abroad is a commitment you make to yourself, for your own future. It’s not easy. You need to be ready to work hard, to adapt to a new culture, to immerse yourself in a new language. But it may just be the best thing you ever do in your life, and it could change the way you see yourself and the way you see the world.
So make sure you know exactly why you want to study abroad. Where will it take you? What will you achieve with your international degree? Write it down and stick it on your wall. Be positive and believe in yourself.
