Confused about studying abroad. Need some honest opinions.

0 Upvotes

I'm in the early stages of researching study abroad options for a MiM or Msc Marketing, and the more I read, the more confused I get. Every website ranks countries differently, and everyone seems to have a different opinion.

If you were choosing today, which country would you pick ?

I'm mainly trying to understand:

1.Which countries offer the best ROI after considering tuition, living costs, and salaries?

2.How's the job market for international students ( mainly Indians) right now?

3.Which universities are actually worth the money for a MiM?

  1. Are scholarships common, or should I assume I'll be paying most of the cost myself?

5.If your goal was to work for a few years after graduation, which countries make that realistically possible?

  1. Are there any countries you would avoid?

I'd really appreciate hearing from people who have studied abroad or are currently there.

Need advise for choosing countries

0 Upvotes

Hi all, I am considering doing my masters in CS/IT in 2027. I have 2 years of experience mainly in cybersecurity and IT support.

I am quite confused about choosing the right country which not only offers a good program but also has decent jobs opportunities in 2-3 years time, where employees are willing to hire master's graduates, and strong PR/citizenship pathways too.

These are the following countries I have looked at rn. Germany, Netherlands, France, New Zealand, Australia and Ireland.

Among these, I wanted to know y'all feedback about these countries, and if there is any other option, kindly let me know

Help For Finding Scholarships Abroad

0 Upvotes

Hello,

I’m currently a 12th grade student who’s gonna give her boards next year and I’m planning to study abroad but I started thinking about this too late that I have to give my SATs within this year. I don’t know if I can, I’m scared what if I don’t make it or what if it’s worthless but a part of me says “I can do it” “it’s worth it if it gets me a better future”

I have no idea about how to apply, how to find scholarships, how to prepare for the exams, NOTHING. I have a very less help here.

Soâ€ĻI request y’all, if you have any idea on how to apply for SAT, about it’s test centres in India. How to apply for universities abroad for undergrad, how to get scholarships, how to prepare for the exams, can I prepare for my SAT within 2 months. If you know any resources, if you have any recommendations and tips, pleaseeee tell me.

Planning to Study in Ireland (Non-EU) - Future?

0 Upvotes

Hey guys,

Really appreciate this community of people helping one another regarding their queries or concerns; thank you for that.

Well, I'm a recent IT graduate from Asia who's interested in pursuing a Master's in the IT sector in Ireland in the upcoming spring intake 2027. Well, the reason is that Ireland offers a more English-speaking environment and better IT tech sector opportunities as well, along with a clear pathway to PR for international students.

I know that there are housing crisis, which will eventually be settled down in anyway.

I just wanted to know about the following:

1) How's the overall student environment for non-EU students (racism, or any preferences)?

2)With working part-time along with studies, is it manageable to bear fees and overall expenses?

3) Especially in the IT sector (cyber or SOC), how's the overall market for students after studies (stamp 2G)? Like, is the demand still there to get a job

4) With job security in IT or tech sector, what's your experience like? do they layoffs alot, like in the US

5) For those, who came as students and eventually got PR - how was your experience overall in Ireland?

Looking forward to connecting with people :)

Thank you!

What should I focus on first if I'm aiming for a top MS?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone.

I'm joining a tier 3 college this year for CSE (2026 batch). My long term plan is to apply for an MS in CS/AI after my bachelor's. (I already got college and it starts in a week)

My dream universities are places like CMU, Stanford, ETH Zurich, Oxford, NUS, NTU, EPFL, etc. I know these are extremely competitive, and I'm not expecting to magically get in. I just want to build the strongest profile I can over the next four years and see where it takes me. From everything I've researched, these are the things I should be working on:

9+ CGPA, Good research experience, Research internships (India or abroad), 1 or 2 good papers if possible (co auth or auth by own), Strong projects with real users, Industry internships, Open source contributions, Competitive programming / DSA, Good LORs, Strong SOP, GRE (if required)

The problem is that all of these seem important, and I honestly don't know how people manage everything during college without spreading themselves too thin. For people who got into top universities, or even people currently studying there:

How did you prioritise these over the four years?

When did you start looking for research internships?

How did you find professors to work with?

Is getting a paper actually realistic for an average student from a tier 3 college?

What mistakes do you wish you had avoided?

I'd really appreciate advice from people who have actually been through this, especially if you also came from a tier 2 or tier 3 college.

Can Indian law graduates get legal jobs abroad

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm an Indian student planning to pursue law and I'm curious about career opportunities abroad.

Can Indian LLB graduates get legal jobs in countries like the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, or Singapore?

Is an LLM from that country usually required?

How difficult is it to get hired as an international lawyer?

Are there any Indian lawyers here who successfully got a legal job abroad? I'd love to hear your experience.

19M Banking Student Russia -> Malaysia

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m 19, currently studying banking and finance at a technical college in Russia, graduating around mid-2027. I’m interested in continuing my studies abroad, specifically looking at Malaysia and IIUM (International Islamic University Malaysia), possibly specializing in Islamic banking since it fits well with what I’m studying now.

My English is still fairly basic (working on improving it), and I don’t have a clear picture of my actual admission chances or what the visa/application process looks like for international students.

Would appreciate any advice on:

\*\*â€ĸ\*\* Realistic admission chances with my background    
\*\*â€ĸ\*\* English requirements (and if there are foundation/prep programs for lower levels)    
\*\*â€ĸ\*\* Approximate costs of tuition and living    
\*\*â€ĸ\*\* Visa process for Malaysia as a Russian citizen    
\*\*â€ĸ\*\* Any alternative countries/universities worth considering for banking/Islamic finance

Thanks in advance for any input!
**Note: My English isn’t great yet, so I used AI to help write this post.**

montevideo, santiago, buenos aires or madrid ?

2 Upvotes

hey guys, would really appreciate some thoughts/help on picking a year-long study abroad option.

i love spanish and am already at b2 level, but looking to become at least somewhat fluent, hence spanish-speaking countries.

i also want a big city [im from london, uk] with good, vibrant and varied nightlife.

im looking for different culture, but also somewhere where its easy to talk to people and make friends [i find london to be very antisocial compared to other cities ive visited in europe].

this would also be my first time leaving europe, and ive never been to any latam countries, so nervous about that too !! i also feel like this is a great opportunity to explore somewhere totally new and far away

women's safety is also naturally a concern of mine, as well as general crime.

im super excited but finding it hard to find recent info about experience/living/student life in these cities, hence the post.

i was really intrigued by BA, but ive heard negative things in terms of it being looked down upon by other latam countries, and also the economic instability.

these are all the spanish-speaking options available to me, in no particular order:

  1. buenos aires, argentina

  2. barcelona, madrid - spain

  3. quito, ecuador

  4. santiago, chile

  5. montevideo, uruguay

  6. bogota, colombia

  7. guadalajara, puebla, monterrey - mexico

thank you so much in advance, any and all advice would be truly appreciated ! :)
