             You are not the only one. This is a
question that most of the students and their
families face on a regular basis. On one side,

your own country and not having to leave behind
all your ties.

On the other, the trap of a foreign degree,
global exposure, excellent research opportunities
and the associated career benefits are equally
attractive. Letshave a look at some of the
important reasons on why one should consider
studying in the USA and the benefits that it
offers. A dream come true! The dream of
studying in the USA is no longer a distant dream,
which only a few chosen people can afford. Today
with the number of education loans and
scholarships on offer international higher
education is much more accessible. If one can
submit proper documents have a good academic
track-record and meet the eligibility criteria
set by the bank an education loan is
guaranteed. Hands of help Scholarships open a
whole wide world of possibilities. From private
scholarships offered by companies and
contributors to scholarships offered by various
governments and educational institutions to boost
research output you can choose and apply for a
relevant scholarship.

Opportunities It is no secret that the research
opportunities available in the USA rank way ahead
of the facilities and funding offered in India.
This is the primary reason for the migration of
Indian students abroad. A majority of the
students complete their research and stay on as
faculty members. Some students return to India
and take up teaching assignments or find relevant
jobs.  Global Outlook When someone studies
in the USA the exposure to a new culture and
lifestyle will definitely dazzle them. As a
student in a foreign land the first few days may
cause you to feel home-sick and lonely but be
rest assured after this initial phase you will
transform into an independent and responsible
individual. Living in a student resident hall
fosters a sense of community-living and gives you
a chance to meet students from other countries
and understand their culture and lifestyle. This
is when bonds of friendship are formed, which
last a life-time.

Career BenefitsA degree from a prestigious
institution like the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology or Harvard University is definitely a
great advantage when compared to a degree from a
smaller Indian institution. This does not demean
the degree offered by Indian institutions.
Employers prefer to hire candidates who have
completed a degree abroad with relevant academic
scores and work-experience over a student who
has completed the same degree and has similar
work experience in India. Additionally, studying
abroad will also offer students a chance to
secure a relevant job in our country. An
international degree also commands a better
pay-package!Quality of EducationPremier
Indian institutions like the IITs and IIMs are
offering excellent courses that also have scope
for doctoral research. A number of these
institutions offer merit scholarships as well.
Attempt as many exams as possible and consider
higher education opportunities in India as well.
Studying in the USA and staying away from your
family is a very important decision that you need
to make. If you are committed to achieving your
academic goals, get admission to a course and
institution of your choice and secure funding go
ahead take a leap of faith and fulfill your study
abroad dreams!
