Studying Abroad vs. Locally
What’s Best for You?
Studying abroad has always been the better option
for students. For a number of years, only the elite
could think of studying abroad. However, things have
changed and more students are now able to further
their studies abroad, be it with their parents’ rising
wealth or their own ability to secure a scholarship. But,
is studying abroud really your thing? Or might it be
better to complete your studies locally?
Financial Considerations
The main factor to consider when you want to study abroad is your
?nancial status and the planning required. Depending on where
you plan to study, it can be really expensive. You will need suf?cient
money when you arrive in the country with strong ?nancial support
from home as most countries don’t allow foreign students to work.
Keep in mind that other than your tuition fees, you will also need to
worry about your living costs.
