Alright then, let’s cut to the chase. Probably you’ve heard it a thousand times, right? “Learning abroad is only for the rich kids.” It’s like the ghost under your bed – everyone talks about it, but no one’s really seen it. So, let’s don our Hollywood director’s hat, and dispel these myths, Quentin Tarantino style.
Myth 1: “Studying Abroad Will Bankrupt You”
The Setup:
The word on the street is that learning abroad will cost you an arm, a leg, and probably a kidney. Visions of Ivy League tuition fees are dancing in your head, and the idea of spending a semester in the United Kingdom or the Americas seems like a pipe dream.
The Reality:
The schools we partner with are located in various countries like Poland,Finland and Germany to mention a few where universities offer budget friendly tuition for international students. So, that dream of studying in a picturesque European city might be more affordable than attending a local private university.
Myth 2: “Scholarships Are a Needle in a Haystack”
The Setup:
“Scholarships? Yeah, right. That’s like winning the lottery.” How many times have you heard that one? The idea that scholarships are rare, elusive, and only for the ‘Einsteins’ or the super-athlete.
The Reality:
Time for a reality check. Scholarships are out there, and they’re not hiding like some rare artifact in some tombstones. The institutions we collaborate with connect students with scholarship opportunities tailored to their academic achievements and financial needs. For example, scholarships that lower tuition by 10% to 50% are offered by certain universities, making it more cheap to study in well-known locations. Additionally, if you’re considering postgraduate studies, the esteemed Chevening Scholarship in UK pays for living expenses, housing, and tuition. With the right help getting a scholarship is more like finding a fork in a diner than a needle in a haystack.
Myth 3: “The Cost of Living Will Kill Your Dream”
The Setup:
You’re picturing yourself in a tiny apartment, eating noodles sobbing yourself to sleep, because the costs of rent and food are through the roof. The cost of living abroad is painted like the Big Bad Wolf, ready to huff and puff your aspirations away.
The Reality:
Hold on, there’s more to this story as you will soon figure out. Although learning in some nations, cue in Switzerland, can be costly,these nations offer a balance between costs and standard of living through various numerous part-time work opportunities and student discounts. Our network of university partners assists learners in locating fairly priced housing options and provides financial guidance.
Myth 4: “Visa and Paperwork Will Be Your Downfall”

Instead of facing a bureaucratic nightmare, you get expert help to ensure the process is smooth and straightforward—turning what could be a hassle into a simple part of your journey abroad.
Myth 5: “You’ll Be on Your Own, With No Support”
