How to Make Friends and Build a Network While Studying Abroad

[Highs]

If you want to greatly enhance your experience while studying abroad, make reasonable friends and build a network. How do you start? Build a network by joining clubs that meet your interests, from there you will meet like minded people. Social events and orientation programs too, especially those organized for international students will help you achieve your purpose.

Don't be scared of starting a conversation with friends or neighbors, a simple “hello” would start a conversation. Part time jobs and volunteering can also help you make contacts. Social media will also help you connect with local and international students. Making friends is a gradual process, take your time while following this process and you will make new friends while studying abroad.

In order to build a good network abroad you have to be open minded and want to learn other people's language too, be open and talk to as much people as you can whether it is in the classroom, on the stress or at the mall, you can also offer a service in your university like fitness training, dance class and you'll be able to make a lot of friends that way.

And naturally people will flock to you, since you're offering value.
