How to Study Abroad in Asia

Prepare for Study Abroad in Asia

Set goals

Set clear academic and personal goals to choose the right destination, program, and focus area to maximize your stay abroad.

  • Talk to your university advisor. Discuss credit transfers and program compatibility to stay on track for graduation during your international adventure.
  • Research cost differences between destinations. Understanding expenses helps you prepare financially and apply for the right study abroad scholarships.
  • Learn about local customs. Read up on social etiquette, traditions, and cultural norms to make adapting to your new environment much easier.
  • Plan housing early. Consider whether you’d prefer a dorm, homestay, or apartment, as your choice affects your daily routine and local immersion.

Understand the benefits

Studying abroad in Asia is an unforgettable adventure filled with personal discovery, cross-cultural learning, and global opportunity.

  • Expand your worldview. Asia’s blend of traditions and modernity challenges your views, offering daily lessons in culture and self-awareness.
  • Build global career skills. Exposure to diverse educational and business cultures provides a competitive edge. Employers value the adaptability and global mindset from international study.
  • Immerse in cultural diversity. Each city offers a unique blend of languages, festivals, and cuisines. You’ll never run out of new experiences to explore or stories to tell.
  • Travel affordably across borders. Asia’s affordable flights and trains simplify regional travel, allowing you to explore multiple countries budget-wise.

A Summer of New

November 07, 2025by: Katey Howard - United StatesProgram: IES Abroad Tokyo Summer
9

When I first got confirmation that I was accepted to study abroad in Tokyo, I was both thrilled and a nervous wreck. I had never been that far from home before, nor did I know anyone else attending the program. Yet, upon my arrival, I was met with the support and guidance of the IES staff, and others in the program were in the same boat. A support system was quickly formed, and although there were several new, unpredictable paths coming my way, I wouldn't endure it alone. With all the cultural activities such as making chopsticks and glass blowing and the included field trips, we were truly urged to make the most of our six weeks in Japan. You start to fall into a routine of going to the convenience store (trust me, like, a lot), going out to karaoke, taking the train to class and throughout the city, studying in cafes. Study sessions at the cafe in the hotel we were housed in had to be some of my favorite memories, oddly enough. The hotel staff even encouraged us to practice Japanese, and I was sad to say goodbye on my last day there. I'm looking forward to the next time I can go to Japan. This experience may have been filled with unknowns, but I was lucky to have the support to make me embrace it.
