First Step - Where do you wanna study?


Selecting a university for higher studies might be a pretty daunting task. First you have to do is selecting the country where you wanna study. This obviously depends on several things. In my case for example, I chose United Kingdom as I wanted to get advance entry levels. Now you might think this is possible even with Australian or USA universities. Yes, it is possible but, I wanted to get into the third level of an undergraduate business degree because I have a Higher National Diploma. The thing is, in other countries this is not possible and most probably you will get only exempted from one year of studies. Therefore for me, going to UK was much more beneficial than my other options. I really don't want to study same things I studies for my HND.


Other than that, another thing is living conditions. But as you may all know there is no doubt about high standard of living in UK, Australia, USA or in New Zealand. But I'm not pretty much sure about Malaysia and Singapore and other countries where people go for higher studies. When talking about living conditions, the next thing that comes to mind is living cost. This is where the later set of countries are popular for. Obviously the former set of countries are popular for considerably high living expenses. But if this expenses are really troubling you, then you might wanna consider Singapore, Malaysia and countries like china and Russia (even India is good) as you destination. They have relatively low cost of living and some of these countries even provide very special advantages to international students.

For me, another thing that matters is climate. Due to my health problems I certainly cannot go to colder countries. But still I chose UK because of the benefit of advance entry level. But I will make sure that I go to a city that is not so cold (Southern part of England).

And more than any of these, you might consider a country where your relatives are living in. You are so lucky if they wish that you could live with them and study.

One small incident... few years back



Long time back I designed this for my college science day. This was supposed to be the front cover of its souvenir. I actually liked it & all of my friends did too. Too bad we couldn't organize the event due to government policies.

This is not the thing what I want to say. It is amazing to see how some external factors affects our life. Some of them are just too far away to consider. But still they make changes.

Finding a university is a great deal..


Lately, I have been trying to find a good university to complete my undergraduate degree. To say, this is not an easy task especially if you are an international student searching for an overseas university. Going to spend your next two or three years in that particular country may be a whole new experience to you, like in my case. So, I thought of adding what I found when searching for a good university to complete a degree. I'll try to be fare for all of you while laying out some more info for guys and girls like me.

You will know what I mean :)
