Why Go to Study Abroad? - Page 2

Don't ever go to France to study unless you took French in school.

Chuck Russia out too if you never took Russian at school😆

This is a nice one Centurions...


I'll tell you why for me:

Because I have no other choice AT ALL! We have one medical college round here, one Dentistry college, and one local University which encompasses all other fields from Law to Engineering, most of them affiliated with universities from abroad because some of the courses don't go further than 4 years for some fields. Pretty bad shape hun? Ok, perhaps am being a bit harsh, but if almost 45% of our students go abroad for tertiary studies, analyze it for yourself! The rest are either too poor to afford it, or try out at post graduation level!

If I want quality education, and perhaps hope of some great job opportunities someday, I've got to try for abroad education. It's not like as if I have another choice dear! And when you know you are good enough, there are so many out here who actually are and excel when they go abroad, you can't help dreaming about Trinity or Princeton!

On the other hand, I seriously don't understand why students from India etc... want to go abroad. Here I am hoping so often that I could get a seat in one of those really best universities in India and then you have some shunning them. I guess it's true that the grass always looks greener on the other side ultimately!

Anju.... French system is super difficult girl. Because they have a "concours" at the end of the first year, which takes out the hell of almost any student, no matter how bright he/she is. Actually it is not the study that is tough as much as the French Grammar is: "Comment allez-vous?"... Damn, I prefer "How are you?" anyday... 😆


It comes down to likes and dislikes frankly though, a few friends I know have also loved France afterwards. Some settled there itself. It sure is a lovely place, especially Venice it seems. 😉

Okay you guys took me seriously. I told you if I'm in France, God knows I ain't going to get any studying done. Plus who goes abroad to actually study? 😉

reason no.1 for going abroad to study is difficulty in getting admission to your choice field in india. capitation fees R too high. With that amt of money one can study abroad easily .Job prospects becum better

Totally totally true!👍🏼

Ask me, I am going through Unis right now during holidays for applications next year for the year 2011. Do you know the kind of money Unis ask? Nothing around less than 9 million rupees in the best Unis for International students for a 6-year MBBS course! What kind of money is that? Confused My mum keeps on saying she is having sleepless nights just thinking about it all. It is not just about the money then, it is about what you mentioned as well. Being reassured that the University is actually a recognized one internationally with WHO etc... It's a hell of stuff to think about. Thank God Dad has contacts around to help!

Actually if you guys don't know it, for internationals, Indian private colleges is a lot of money as well. Nearly 3/4 of the Europe fee!!!!!

Its the experience that counts in life. Let it be the experience of being a mother for the first time, being in love for the first time or studying abroad for the first time. The experience international students get by studying abroad is invaluable and can never be matched/compared to the same level of a student studying in their own homeland. A challenging experience where the memories are treasured forever. Apart from learning academically, you also grow as a person and learn to live and adapt life in your own ways independently - opportunity to taste the ''real life''

I want to study abroad too, but dont have the money at the moment 😆

I think people go abroad for a better chance at education. Schools in India can be pretty competitive and some people don't feel they can take the competition - which is perfectly alright, because the competition can get pretty hostile sometimes. And then there's the ragging in Indian colleges, which is really getting out of hand. I have a cousin who's studying in a college in India and he said ragging can be really mean spirited sometimes and distracts one greatly from studying. Schools abroad, especially in America, are more sophisticated in that topic.
