Nowadays many students choose to study abroad. There are many things you have pay attention to,like health. So what should we do if we meet the health problems.In this essay, medical insurance will be discussed as well as the food problem.Finally some advice will be provided.
International students have medical problems in their life, because they are living in a new environment.the fact that they live alone and they don't have the welfare as the local people. They have to pay more money. Some of my friends who are studying abroad are suffering from this problem. When they feel sick, they won't go to the hospital, instead of this, they just stayed at home to have some relax or take the medicine brought from their own country. For example, one of my classmates from Thailand had a toothache, but she didn't have the insurance, so she had to pay the whole fee, about 300dallers per tooth. As we see the medical welfare of international students is not good, but the food is also important for them.
Unhealthy food is another problem, especially for international students that lived in a different country and the food is different from their motherlands. Sometimes they don't know whether the food is health or not, and just think it might be a different kind of food. For example, a Brazilian student, lived with her home-stay, suffered from the food poisoning, which caused a stomachache. But the home-stay said there is nothing wrong with the food, just a different kind. So food is important for people especially health food.
There are some pieces of advice. When they go to a new country, make sure they have got an insurance that can be used in the country which they're going to. Be careful about the food, if it doesn't taste well, throw it and find something you like to eat.
All in all, if they study abroad they will have lots of problems. In general health is one of the most important things that you have to be careful.
