Answers:
Loneliness is a big factor, especially if there's no one around who speaks your language or knows your country. Stomach problems sometimes, since the food will be new and you won't have much money. Other than that, it REALLY depends on where you're from, how well you know the language, and what you are studying.
I would suggest that you try to study in a specific place that interests you. Try to experience the culture, but also be sure to be in an environment you'll enjoy. Think about climate, city versus countryside, hobbies such as outdoor adventure or night life, language, etc. That should help you choose both a country and a specific place in that country. Also remember to study somewhere that has educational programs that will help you in the future.
Basically, it depends! There is no "inevitable" difficulty, apart from the usual hassles of travel. Pack light, do your research, and be open to the experience. Most people are very welcoming to foreigners. Have a great time!
1. language barrier
2. food differences
3. culture in general
All in all though look at the golden opportunity not the difficulties.
Learning the social customs of the foreign country so as to not do something that insults your hosts or other people you live and interact with.
Learning the idioms of the language.
Getting accustomed to the foods can be a challenge.
For me it was lonliness and the fact that everyone wanted to practice their english, not let me practice my dutch. But by far it took me aobut 6 months to feel truly happy and not lonely. Then I did not want to leave!
