students abroad

Overseas academic travelers

Students abroad are people pursuing education in a foreign country, whether for a full degree program or a shorter exchange.

The phrase emphasizes their status as learners temporarily residing outside their home country: Many students abroad struggle with homesickness their first semester.

Study abroad programs send students abroad for a semester or year of coursework at partner institutions.
