2) Selecting Country:
After selecting the proper course. You must focus on selecting the proper country which has the good industrial base.
Selecting the top ranked college in the city/country that doesn’t have good industry base is of no use.
You are going abroad to give yourself a better lifestyle right and you will only be successful in your mission once you have a good job. Now you will only get a good job once you select the proper city/country for your study abroad program.
For example: selecting the top aeronautical engineering course in a top ranked college in some obscure land will take you nowhere.
Hence after selecting the proper course, you must select the proper city/country that is surrounded by companies/industries.
3) Return Of Investment (ROI):
Study abroad is always going to be costly. That’s why ROI is the first thing students must consider before opting for any course/country.
Students must consider following costs,
- Cost of tuition fees
- Cost of living
And return on investment is simply be calculated by the expected earnings of the course divided by cost of acquiring that course.
4) Opportunities for spouse/family:
