Why Study Abroad ?
Some people want
to study abroad out of sheer interest, some go to another
country because they love traveling and want to stay at a new
place while there are some that believe if they have a degree
from a prestigious international University which is recognized
world-wide, for example, Cambridge
University, Oxford
University, London School of Economics (LSE), etc. they will be
open to better job prospects.
It might
interest you to know that the first category of people who go to
international universities just out of their love to explore new
cities and learn about new cultures is abundant. Interaction
helps these people eventually develop an amazing personality and
aptitude which subsequently helps them throughout their life.
You learn how to survive. If you can survive in an alien country
all by yourselves and make friends with absolute strangers,
trust me it would make it easier to face any challenge that
comes your way later in you life. You learn how to interact with
new people and network with them. College life is the one where
you learn the most from your experiences and from the decisions
you make, whether right or wrong!
Then there are
people who love to travel, who probably want to go to a new
country just to explore the place. They can not have a better
opportunity to extract the maximum from a new place if they live
and study there for a couple of years. In this way they can even
discover a lot more about the place than they would if the just
go there for a vacation.
The third
category is again very common amongst ambitious youngsters.
Those who want to be placed in a universally recognized company
(preferably Multi- National Companies) are determined to get
into a universally recognized university for that. This in turn
brings about good pay scales along with good quality life to
them. Plus if students get a degree from abroad and come back to
their nation to work after some international work experience,
their market value immediately shoots up.
Studying abroad
has become some sort of a statement these days. The students get
to learn lots and lots if they are pursuing a course in one of
the best universities in the world.
