Every year，thousands of students choose to study overseas. 1 The following steps may prove useful in their preparations to study overseas.

● Get to know your new home before you land in it.

There is no substitute for good preparation. 2 Learning about the history，culture，tradition，language and even details such as food，music，transport，weather and social activities of your new host country are all important.Thanks to the Internet，most of this can be found at the click of a button.

●Pack using your head and your heart.

3 Whatever you bring，make sure that it will be something that you think might help your chances of succeeding.This includes practical items such as study materials，old class notes，favorite textbooks or pens and even the contact details of previous teachers.
