study abroad horror stories

I heard of a situation where the host family promised a clean and comfortable living environment but it was the opposite. The room given to the student was dirty and full of bugs. The heating didn't work during the cold winter months either. And on top of that, the family members were always arguing loudly, creating a very tense and unpleasant atmosphere for the student who was trying to study and adapt to a new country.

There was a student who had a host family that was constantly arguing. Screaming matches were a daily occurrence. It made the student feel very uncomfortable and unsafe. There was also a lack of proper food as the family was too preoccupied with their own problems to cook proper meals for the student.

Students should do thorough research before choosing a host family. They can look for reviews from previous students who stayed with the family. Also, they can communicate a lot with the host family in advance. For example, ask about their daily routines, rules, and living conditions. If something seems off during these communications, it's a red flag.

One of my friends studied in the UK during high school. He was initially shocked by the different teaching style. In the UK, classes were more discussion - based. He had to adapt to reading a lot of original English books for academic work. But he also got to experience different cultures like going to the Edinburgh Festival. It broadened his horizons and improved his English a great deal.
