Stepping out of their comfort zone to live and study in a faraway country often ingrains
an obscure fear of loneliness and helplessness. Therefore, if you have a plan to earn a degree in a foreign country, you need to equip yourselves with essential skills to start a truly independent life as soon as possible.
