Life of an Indian student in a foreign land

Student do feel intimidated by the thought of landing in an alien land. Most institutes have an airport welcome arrangement. A representative of the institutes receives the student from the airport and then takes him to the university and the temporary accommodation, ensuring that students feels at home. Then there is the international office that assists students in finding appropriate accommodation, providing details on relative costs. The international office helps the foreign student get in touch with fellow students keen to share accommodation. The change in study patterns would need some preparation. Foreign universities expect students to be analytical in their approach.

Instead of just applying formulae and information, you will be expected to reason out and come up with a theory of your own. Critical thinking and questioning is appreciated, unlike in India where reproduction of classroom lectures could also fetch your marks.

Zero in on an institute with tremendous caution. Select an accredited institute. Check its credentials and performance in the subject of your choice. See if you can afford the costs involved.
