“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things”. An overseas education is something that any student would like to pursue and the experience would last for rest of one’s life.
Studying aboard be it in Canada, Australia, US or UK is a huge experience along with learning the new culture of the respective country. With the help of proper guidance from Education and Immigration services information and career guidance from foreign education consultants, students manage to get desired admission in foreign schools.
Being an international student in Australia is exciting along with getting to know about its culture and lifestyle. Australian government allows people who aren’t Australian citizens or permanent residents to study in Australia. Moreover tuition in Australia is less expensive than in US or UK but still is important to be careful with their finances. Basically the first day is nerve wracking. We should be patient enough to face anything. New international students first few weeks are busy learning about the campus and classes and also making new friends. Gradually you get to know about the University and the social customs followed. An international student finds difference in the education system as foreign education is far more different from our Indian education. Students who come from conservative and authoritative place may find Australian classroom as chaotic. But one can adapt more quickly to the life in Australia if you stay active and social. Be alert to adjust to the new education system and work hard to cope-up with the syllabus and can also take guidance from the professors who are always there to guide and help the students. After completing the degree, international students can find a place in today s international job market.
International students are also concerned about the cultural differences. Although both Australia and India love cricket but the varying attitudes of people show the real differences. We Indians are more connected to our home and so do take time to communicate with loved ones but don’t let homesickness dominate your goals. Different accent and fast moving life baffle the students. Initially they hesitate to make new friends or even ask any simple questions but gradually while trying to understand the cultural difference, one also improves in his/her speaking abilities and communicate a lot resulting in to making friends.
Australia has a good range of accommodation facilities be it halls of residence, boarding schools, home stays, apartments and rented houses. Often students share their accommodation with their fellow students which might be more affordable to them.
“Future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams”. So don’t give up and chase your dream to study in Australia.
