10 Things Indian Students Don’t Know About Studying Abroad

The idea of pursuing higher studies in abroad is quite exciting. There’s a reason why about 753,000 Indian students were studying across different countries in 2019.

But then those who are planning to take this route, there’s a lot they don’t know.

Yes, studying abroad can be the best thing for your career – but there are also many caveats that must be addressed.

So, if you want to go to countries like the USA, Canada, Australia, or UK, it’s essential that you understand the clear picture of your decision before taking the next step.

Here are 10 things you might not know about studying abroad:

1. Putting on the CV that you studied abroad doesn’t guarantee you success. It does position you for better and higher-paying jobs… But don’t assume that you’re guaranteed or entitled to anything.
2. It takes a lot of hard work if you want to get admission in some of the good universities. Not that they have stringent requirements. But the fact that so many students apply in these universities, unless you stand out in the crowd with your grades, admission essay, and other things –it will be challenging to get admission in the top institutes.
3. Overseas education isn’t as costly as is assumed. To that, so many opportunities to finance your college (like scholarship, sponsorships, education loan) make things even better. However, it still costs money and you should have sound financial plans to fund your studies.
4. Not only are you to take SAT, GMAT, IELTS, GRE test for study in abroad (depending on which college, country, and course you have picked), you must also score well in them to meet the cut-off of good colleges.
5. Studying abroad isn’t just about building a better career and making more money but also about building your life. It will change your entire life, opening you to countless opportunities that you may not even expect at this point; like you may eventually decide to become a resident of that country. This is perhaps the best part of overseas education - so many opportunities and options, which students do not anticipate early on.
6. Your career trajectory will depend a lot on the college you choose and the Major you did. Making reluctant decisions based on some “top 10” lists you read will lead you to the wrong ways. Seeking career counseling is important.
7. While almost every developed nation is very accommodating to international students, you would still feel homesick and out of place in the early days of your stay. This is especially true for introverts. You will very likely experience culture shock.
8. Living alone in a different country is fascinating. But college education is not easy. You will have to put in a lot of work to maintain good grades. Lagging even a bit can put you at the back of the class.
9. Applying for Student Visa isn’t as simple as it may look. You will have to fulfill several requirements. For various reasons, many students get their visa applications rejected.
10. This isn’t a DIY thing. When planning and preparing to study abroad, a lot needs to be taken care of. This is why working along with an experienced overseas education consultant is a good idea. It improves your chances of getting admission to the right college. Plus, depending on their services, the consultant can take care of other things as well - right from career counseling to visa application.

These are 10 things that you might not have known - or at least realized - about pursuing higher studies in abroad. 

In whatever you're planning to do, take confident strides ahead with higher clarity and zero misconceptions.
