Where to Study?

Where to Study?

Selection of countries/cities, to go to study is a really difficult task. As your future depends upon it. Well here are some of points I think that should help you to make your decision easy. I call them four Cs to choose.

1- Course

It is the course for which you want to apply and study. It is the course through which you can/will make a pillar of your future. Search for the countries that are offering this course you want to study. Narrow your search to best five and Apply to them all (Note:  5 best institutes from all countries not 5 from each country). (Best chance you will get call from all. worst you will at least get call from one).

4- Cost

Cost is another factor in your study. First estimate the cost that you can afford for your study. Search and work to get the cost which will be needed to study in the five institutes and select the one that meets your cost.

2- Culture

Culture is another factor that 90% affects your way of thinking, way of living and it do tells what you are. Search for the countries culture and select the one that most suites you. (If the culture does not suites you and the country meets your cost and course requirements plus you can handle or set in the culture then go for it and do your best).

3- Challenges

Search for the Challenges that you will be facing in the country you chose or will choose. If you already selected the country after looking at first three Cs then be prepared for the challenges, if not selected yet, I would suggest if the challenges are minor then get prepared and select the country with minor ones. (but do include first three Cs as well) .  If the best choice to study abroad is the country with major challenges then at first I would take some time until the challenges are finished or reduced else choose one with minor or no challenge.

 (Hint: I would suggest get away from the countries in which you would face challenges aroused from political or social ties).

Wrong view about Visa File Processing and agents

The process of gathering and organizing required documents which are needed to apply for visa is known as VISA FILE PROCESSING.

WHERE WE GET IT WRONG?

We think that visa agents are those who will give us visa in return to our payment.  We are wrong Visa agents are not the one who give us visa, Visa is Applied through a specific Embassy. They are the one who help us or offer their services to get us visa from Embassy by making or setting our documents or files in such a manner that embassy can easily assess you, know you, that you are not harm to their country or you will not enter their country without permission.

I am writing this short note here so that people can have a better understanding of visa agents what they do. How they do? they know better.
