I don't prefer to sudy abroad. Yes it is true that it's too expensive to study outside the country. Money is the main factor. You need to be independent and needs money to support to whatever you needs during your studies. I consider it as a challenging journey of life if you go out of the country and meet other people. But for me I will not study outside unless I am prepared financially.

Hi, I do not have the privilege to study abroad BUT if I were given a chance, I will definitely do so! The exposure and the education system are far much better! We need to consider a few points before we jump into making the decision. 1) What course do you plan to pursue. If laws, then UK will be the top choice! Medicines - I would say UK, India and Indonesia, Accountancy - UK, Australia. IT - America, UK, Australia and many more countries. Hotel Management - Switzerland is the best. So on and so forth. 2) You need to know your financial status, anyone is sponsoring? You need to think of the high cost of living in overseas especially UK, Switzerland whereby their currency is very strong (expensive). Are you willing to work part time to self support, what are the country policy for overseas student to be aloowed to work while studying! 3) Actually if money is a constraint, you do have other option here.. you can do twinning, many colleges offer twinning whereby you only need to go oversea for the final year (1 year, therefore cheaper and your degree will be recognised as overseas). Or lookout for certain colleges who offered some courses purely done locally but the degree is stated as Graduated from the Overseas University - this can be done because the Oversea University actually open its branches locally. All the best and Reach for the Star... & Happy myLotting too! :D
