Life in school and life in university are two Completely different spheres. It’s a whole transition from one destination to the other. When in school we are taught at every step and have people that guide us, but in university or college we are expected to do things on our own to build our experiences and skills. A lot of Indian students in today’s day, opt to study in foreign universities quite far from their home country.  Studying abroad sounds adventurous and it is, but it also comes with a lot of lifestyle changes that often stick to the person throughout their adulthood. Securing admission in a reputed university as an international student has it’s own perils involved. A lot of things like eligibility and the fees and well as scholarships need to be taken into account. Students go abroad to a completely different country and have the privilege to experience the new cultures and cuisines there. This not only helps them develop culture inclusiveness but also helps them broaden their skill set from what they had learned in their schooling years. Students usually opt for studies abroad because in most of the countries the options for different courses are vast, and there is also a lot of flexibility in the curriculum. It can often be hard during the initial settlement, as they realise that they are going to be staying in this new country for the majority of their adult life until they complete their years at the university. Not getting to meet loved ones back in India is often sad but should be taken in a positive way because in the end it’s the growth that matters. 

The students absorb a lot of different lifestyles and finally realise which one fits them best. You can grow only through exploring every facet of living and studying abroad is the perfect opportunity for that. In India children are always kept in a controlled environment and parents believe in constant support whereas according to western upbringing parents leave their kids to figure out their own things at the very ripe age of 18. So, when an Indian student transitions into an international one they learn a lot of hard life lessons and also face adjustment issues. Once they get over the initial uncomfortable time it’s all smooth sailing and informative. Studying abroad is a true opener for a student, it gives the student access to new doors that they wouldn’t have had the access to back in their home country in the safety of their own houses.
