How comfortable you are far away from family, relatives, and friends when I finally actually have studied and lived abroad, particularly in the UK?

Do not worry. When everything was ready, it seems no longer to be doubted that makes you uncomfortable studying in this country. These steps:

- Before departure, obtain full information about the university, location, and the city that will be a place to stay you.

- Usually, the university will provide information in the "welcome pack" which is sent to the students before coming to the university. However, if indeed possible, it never hurts to come 1 (one) week before you begin a lecture to familiarize themselves with life in the city you live. This is to avoid feeling nervous, panic, let alone to feel disoriented because preoccupied with preparing a study on campus.

- Report yourselves to the Indonesian Embassy in London. This can be useful when students have difficulty or problem, so that the Embassy could easily help.

- It's good, you also join the Indonesian Students Association (PPI) in the city or town you live nearby. At least, various information or data that you need can be helped through your involvement in this association. And, of course, you're no longer going to feel "alone" in the Land of the.

- Embarrassed to ask, in the Land of the lost! Thus, as social beings who can not live alone, do not be shy friends or hang out with students from other countries. Chances are you are the only student from Indonesia, either in class or even your choice of university. Believe me, pertemananmu with students from other countries will help in socializing on campus which consists of a variety of skin colors and different languages with you.

- Many facilities that you can get the status as a student, especially in using a student card, such as special discounts to movies, transportation, performing arts, restaurants or even shops that give discounts for students. So, take advantage of you with good status.

- Order tickets in advance, if you want to travel to other cities in the UK or even other countries in Europe. This plan prior to scheduled departure, at least between 3 to 6 months, because usually the price of tickets will be far more expensive than booking 1 or 2 weeks before departure.

- Get used to living independently, this is the most important tips you do. Yes, you should have to get used to cooking, washing clothes and cleaning their own rooms. In addition to saving, you will get used to living disciplined and independent until the study is over and enjoy your future. (kompas)
