Study Abroad Counselling

Studying abroad is something that most of us aspire to do. As students, we wish that somehow the opportunity to go abroad is bestowed upon us. But because of the budget constraints we keep that dream aside and look for options in our own country. Now, you really don’t need to put aside your dream. Yes US, UK, Australia etc. are still a little far fetching, but countries like Canada might suit you perfectly. Here is why.

Australia is currently ranked as 3 rd most popular student destination in the English speaking-world next only on the United States and the United Kingdom. With roughly 22,000 courses in over 1, 100 academic institutions, Australia ranks 8 th in the world in terms of university system rankings. Every year, the Australian Government invests over $200,000,000 on international scholarship programs. Today, the country is home to 34,800 international students from over 140 countries across the globe.

Education sector is built upon different writing assignments. While students plan to study abroad essay is one of the major components of their application process. Sometimes essay becomes the most important part of the whole application irrespective of the GRE/GMAT/TOEFL scores. An admission essay can make or break one’s admission prospects. There have been instances of exceptionally talented students getting rejected from prestigious institutions just because they did not work hard on their essay. There have also been students who got into good colleges merely on the basis of a good admission essay. It is likely that the-otherwise intelligent students did not realize that the most important part of their college application is their admission essay.

Studying abroad is never easy. But the most difficult part is making up your mind and just going for it. The process from the moment you decide and the moment when you land in a foreign city is the most difficult phase of your life and the immense satisfaction it when all your hard work pays of is truly enormous. I still remember when I was in college and there were campus interviews going on (during the end of my 7th semester), I was in a dilemma whether to go for a job or for a master’s degree. Each had its pros and cons and for many students it’s also a war between your inner feelings and requirements and your family. Well they have to invest on you and if like me you are from a middle class family from India then even 10000 Euros is worth a lot of fortune and most of the students have to go for loan after mortgaging their property or jewelries or whatever their family can afford. .

I have completed 1 year now (kinda like my first anniversary living abroad) outside India.

This post might sting some of my fellow Germans but its just written to give a reality check and also to prove nothing is perfect. In one of my previous post I just covered some of the things Indians and India (I&I) should learn from Germans and Gemany(G&G).            http://studyabroadcounselling.blogspot.in/2014/09/what-indians-can-learn-from-germany-and.html It was just the part 1 of the article which means I would follow that article up with  another article which highlights some of the other points missed by me, which we should learn from G&G. Some people mailed me that the article was a bit harsh and that I was actually ridiculing the Indians, but believe me I had no such intentions and all I want is that things should change in India and in us and we should try to learn positive things from others.

I first kept my foot in German soil during October 2013, feeling quite happy and keeping a open mind, thinking that I would embrace the culture and also teach them something if i have something positive to offer. During the first few days of my stay i came to know so much about the Germans and Germany(G&G in short).

But then i made so many German friends and then slowly and steadily I had a closer look at their life and insight and then i also realized the so many short comings of Germans and their attitude.
