Here are answers to some frequently asked
questions for the students who want to study abroad:
Why should I study abroad?
As such there is no clear definition why one must
study abroad. But through the testimonials of the
students who have studied abroad, one can make out
very clearly that students become more mature mentally
when they study in a different culture and place.
The overseas study experience can help them to understand
the world better, appreciate the international contributions
to knowledge, and learn to cope effectively with an
increasingly intercultural environment.
What would be the cost?
The costs of studying abroad vary from country to
country. It depends on the living cost of the place
one chooses. Generally, programs with equal excellence
in developing countries are less expensive than those
in developed countries. The Study Abroad costs include
tuition fees, housing with meals, transportation charges,
travel and excursions, cultural activities and personal
expenses.
What about the financial aid and scholarships?
It is possible to get financial aid or scholarships
or grants that help the study-abroad-students to afford
their studies in the overseas country. By consulting
the financial officer or the study abroad consultants
of the international programs and doing proper research
on this issue, prospective study-abroad students can
get the relevant information. According to the academic
talents, performances and other related issues, the
candidature of the student can be considered for financial
aid or scholarships.
Is it not possible for me to think of
studying abroad, if I do not speak any of the foreign
languages?
'Not knowing a foreign language' is not at all a barrier
for you to pursue a study program abroad. There are
many programs in many of the countries to teach you
the required language, especially in the initial period
of the course. You can overcome your language problems
in the new environment at the earliest, if you are
determined to learn the language with self-interest.
