I’ve been thinking about studying abroad, but it’s a big decision—financially, academically, and personally. It seems like an amazing experience, but I’m also wondering about the long-term impact beyond just travel and memories. For those who have studied abroad—do you feel like it was worth it overall? Did it actually help your career, confidence, or perspective on life? submitted by /u/zaralesliewalker to r/studyAbroad [link] [comments]

Everywhere you look someone is either preparing for IELTS, applying to Canada or planning their “escape”. But with rising tuition fees, insane living costs, visa crackdowns in countries like Canada and Australia, and job markets getting tighter… it doesn’t feel as straightforward as it did a few years ago. At the same time, people still swear by the exposure, better quality of life, and long term career growth. Then there’s the whole reality check of doing survival jobs, dealing with loneliness, and hoping things work out after graduation. If you’ve already gone abroad or are planning to, what’s your honest take right now? Is it still a smart move or are we romanticising it too much? My_qualifications: bachelors submitted by /u/UnlikelyAbility8767 to r/Indians_StudyAbroad [link] [comments]

With rising costs and so many mixed opinions online, I’m genuinely curious — is studying abroad still worth it in 2026? On one side, you get: – global exposure – better career opportunities – independence But on the other hand: – high tuition fees – visa uncertainty – confusing application process I’ve noticed that students who plan properly (right course, right country, proper guidance) usually benefit a lot more compared to those who just “follow trends”. So maybe it’s not about whether it’s worth it… but how you plan it. What do you think? submitted by /u/akshiitan to r/studyAbroad [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, my_qualifications: I have a bachelor’s in Computer Science and I’m planning to pursue higher studies abroad. A lot of what we see about studying abroad is the exciting side - new country, independence, better opportunities, etc. But the reality is usually more layered than that. For those who’ve experienced it, what’s something you only realized after moving that no one really talks about beforehand? Not the obvious things, but the kind of stuff that actually hits you once you’re there. Just trying to get a more honest picture beyond the usual “study abroad dream.” submitted by /u/CycleLongjumping2972 to r/Indians_StudyAbroad [link] [comments]

I am in the US for my studies. Been here about a little more than 2 months and this has certainly not been an easy task. I have made friends here and gotten over the price shock of the "Free Market". But i have been stuck in an bureaucratic problem that's delaying my course and adding a lot of stress. The worst thing about this is none of this is my fault nor anything is under my control. My mother taught me all of my primary school english. She asked me and my brother to send her a paragraph everyday about our day. Her english is not the best. But haiiii 🫠🫠🫠 submitted by /u/mujhe_jalebi_khilao to r/indiasocial [link] [comments]

I am currently making my life miserable because I decided against studying abroad for a semester a year ago. I feel like I am missing out on one of the potentially best times of my life just because I made the wrong decision back then. Everyday student life in Germany currently feels so pointless and overwhelming. I am incredibly frustrated and angry with myself. Since I am studying at a dual university, this was also the only opportunity to go abroad during my bachelor's degree. In addition, I will already be 25 years old when I finish my studies, which is why I don't know if I want to continue with a master's degree. Since I'm studying business informatics, I also feel like I need to find a job as soon as possible before AI eliminates even more entry-level jobs. Is there anyone here who is/was in a similar situation? How did you deal with the regret and self-hatred? submitted by /u/No_Comfort_5968 to r/studyAbroad [link] [comments]

I’m currently in my second semester of Junior year, and I’ve been in London for five weeks. I’ll just be blunt: I hate it here. I am more depressed and miserable than I have ever been in my life, and I feel like I’ve traded a stable, happy life back home for a "dream experience" that has turned out to be a total nightmare. It wasn't my idea to do this. I am about as introverted as a person can possibly be, and my parents were the ones who convinced me to come, I never would have even considered it on my own. I had convinced myself that this would force me to get out more and fix my social life, but there was no "honeymoon phase" like they suggested in orientation. I've just been more miserable from the very start. What makes it worse is that I actually had a good thing going back at my home campus. I didn't have a massive friend group, I’ve honestly made zero real friends in all of college so far, but I was generally happy. I had my routine, I had my own space, and I had a few online friends I could talk to every day. Most importantly, I had finally made progress last semester when I tried out for and made one of my school’s esports team. I was finally getting to know the guys there and potentially making my first real friends, but that was completely cut off once I left for London. They’ve already replaced me on the team, and I feel like I threw away the only social momentum I’ve ever had for nothing. The social reality of this program is a joke. I have tried to make friends with people here, but it has been insanely hard. I’ve noticed a common theme where almost everyone I speak to came over here with at least one other friend to have fun with. I had, and still have, no one. I tried, believe me, I really tried to even get the bare minimum of friendship, but I got nothing. That was the first few weeks I was here, and now I've basically given up on trying to make friends with other people in the program at this point. I have no one to go out and do things with, making solo exploration my only option. I honestly don't really care for British culture, going on trips or exploring Europe. Some of the museums are kinda cool, but that's the extent of my interest. Standing around famous landmarks alone doesn't feel like an adventure, it just makes me feel more isolated. The living situation is just as draining. Back home I had my own space, but now I am forced into a tiny flat with three other guys and I have no privacy. I have tried to make friends with my roommates, but despite my efforts, they already have their own established social lives. I don’t think I’m an off-putting guy. I’m reasonably in shape, I keep up with my hygiene, I clean up after myself, and I respect their space. I’m just quiet, and in an environment like this, being quiet makes you invisible. The only saving grace is that I’ve been walking a lot more, at least 14 miles a week, and eating a little healthier. I believe my physical fitness is improving, which is the one thing I can control. But overall, if you are an extreme introvert thinking that study abroad will "fix" you or force you to be social, please think twice. If you have a routine that works and a space where you feel comfortable, don't let people convince you that you’re "missing out" by staying there. I have 79 days left and they couldn't go by any slower. This is a prison sentence. I’d give anything to be back in my campus apartment right now. submitted by /u/LikeAGaryBuster to r/studyAbroad [link] [comments]

I am not The OOP, OOP is u/throwawaydidntdoit My [23F] boyfriend [25M] of 3 years says he knows I cheated on him while doing study abroad... but I didn't TRIGGER WARNING: false accusations, verbal abuse, mentions physical violence, truama Original Post Oct 13, 2015 My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years. We are long distance. We're from the same home town but he goes to school in another state, so we see each other over summer and most holidays. This past summer I did study abroad in Peru for 2 months. It was one of the most amazing experiences and I had so much fun. I didn't have a phone or regular internet so I communicated with email every couple of days. I told my boyfriend this would be the case before leaving and he said it was okay. When I got back, he was excited to see me, and I was excited to see him, but I was very tired and honestly fell asleep within minutes of first seeing him. I'd literally gotten off the plane just an hour before. When I woke up he seemed pissed. I asked what was up and he just started asking how my trip was. I told him it was fun, told him about my friends, etc. Then all of a sudden he says, "I know you cheated on me" At this point I'm confused. I just said "What..?" and he said "I know you did. It's okay. It's whatever" Well, I didn't cheat on him. There were only 4 other guys on the trip. Two had girlfriends, one was incredibly gay, and the only single straight one was hooking up with this other girl the whole time. I told him this and he just kept saying he knew I cheated on him. I asked people on the trip and nobody said anything to him. They're all just as confused as me. I asked my boyfriend why he thinks I did and he said "I just know". The weird thing is that he's saying he's okay with it, but still keeps bringing it up that I cheated on him. It's pissing me off because I didn't. I had a lot of opportunities to, and never even got close to taking them. I told him the only guy I did anything close with was my gay friend, and all we did was dance at a club together. He started saying "Well I don't know if it was one of your friends or a local" ... what the hell dude? I don't know what to do. He just keeps saying I cheated, but I didn't. He also says he doesn't care, but brings it up. I can't figure out how to convince him otherwise aside from the face this is a TOTALLY RIDICULOUS IDEA he has anyway. We had literally NO TIME to even TALK to local people there enough to hook up with them because we were busy every day and all day doing things. Is this break up worthy..? I love him but have no idea why he'd be doing this. tl;dr: Did study abroad for 2 months, boyfriend is convinced I cheated but says he "doesn't care"... but I did not cheat. Edit: Thank you so much to all who commented! Definitely a lot to think about. I'm going to reply to some people and confront my boyfriend later tonight. RELEVANT COMMENTS Mrs_Patrick_Sharp Ask your boyfriend for the evidence he has to support his claim. I honestly think he cheated on you and is projecting his cheating onto you in hopes you'll confess so he can break up with you and not tell you he cheated and avoid being an giant asshole for cheating. OOP Honestly I've been wondering this myself. Maybe he's saying he doesn't care and he's gonna drop the bomb that HE did and hope I don't care. The only thing is that like... I can't imagine how he'd cheat. He has NO female friends, and neither do any of his male friends. He's kind of weird and nerdy. geneticinstability If he did, he's going to use this against you in some way, ie: I forgive you and it's okay, but... you cheated on me, so [my cheating is okay/justified] [you should forgive me for cheating] [do this thing for me to make up for it] [I'm such a great person for forgiving you, and you are just a cheater]. He's actively looking for reasons to convince himself, or you, that you were unfaithful! "I just know" is a full-on asshole thing to say. Does he do this in other ways? You're having an argument and he decides his way is better, his opinions are more right, and he "just knows"?? That would make this a dealbreaker for me, I don't know about you. OOP Oh wow... he totally does do that in arguments honestly. He ALWAYS believes he's right and the only way he'll stop arguing is if he gets tired of doing it, basically. And if he IS saying he knows I did but forgives me as a way to get out of cheating... then lol. Because that won't work at all. I'm gonna confront him in about an hour .. Update Oct 15, 2015 (2 days later) Okay, so I want to thank everyone for all of the advice. I really appreciate it that so many people cared to give their ideas. A lot of people thought cheating, but some suggested he was just insecure. Last night I asked him to come over. I should have mentioned in OP that the original event actually happened in mid August. When it FIRST happened after enough I said "Listen, you're pissing me off, stop saying that I did something I didn't do" and he just said "Okay, sorry". But then proceeded to occasionally bring it up since August until now. Also we are long distance, kind of. He goes to school in another state, but is from my home town. He's been here the past few days due to family issues. So when he was over I asked him why he feels so strongly I cheated, and at first he tried to brush it off. I kept pressing him and finally he said "I just don't feel like you could go somewhere like that with a bunch of guys and nothing would happen". I told him "Well, you go to Florida for most of the year for school with a bunch of girls. So are you saying that you don't think I could do it because you've done something?" Well, he flew off the handle and FREAKED out. Started yelling that he was so pissed I'd even think to accuse him of cheating. That he never had and never will. That I KNEW about any time a girl came on to him too strong because he'd tell me about it (which is true). I just sat there and watched him and then finally asked "Well how is it ridiculous for me to ask you that, but you think it's ridiculous that I even argue that I never cheated?" He just said that "He knows me" and "He knows what I'd do". Finally I just got pissed and said that if he can't trust me and thinks so lowly of me we probably shouldn't be together. He started going off then saying "See!!! I knew you cheated!!" I got fed up with the crazy and told him to go. He asked if I was breaking up with him, and I said no. I said no because I figured if I said yes he wouldn't leave, but I felt pretty sure that's what I wanted to do. After he left, called up his brother who I am sometimes close to and told him the story. He was surprised by how crazy he was but also told me that my boyfriend's last girlfriend (his first) had cheated on him, so he probably just thinks that of everyone now. He told me that my boyfriend has some massive anger issues and has been known to get physical with people/objects when angry. He also told me about a bunch of other crazy things my boyfriend has done... including "running away" from home as a 20 year old when he didn't get his way, cussing out his mom and telling her to die when she took his brother's side over a petty argument.. etc. Some other minor things were that my boyfriend has apparently stated he "never wants to move out of his parents" house and continue making youtube videos for the rest of his life. That and how stupid my boyfriend acted to me over me doing literally nothing made me decide I wanted to end it. I called up my boyfriend and told him it's over. I'm pretty sad about it, I do love him, but I don't wanna deal with crazy dick. Plus it's pretty lame we've been together three years and he still thinks he wants to live with his parents forever. I've asked him a million times what he wants to do when he's out of college. He just says "I don't know" tl;dr: Accused me more and more of the same thing. He didn't cheat, probably, but is crazy as hell, so we broke up. Edit: Thank you everyone for the comments!!! Wow. I'm trying to reply to most but I AM reading everything!! People are asking how I never noticed these red flags earlier. I KIND OF did, but wasn't sure. We were long distance, which I think often left me confused. A lot of times I'd wonder if his actions were just because we were far. Hearing his brother say those things just confirmed that's not the case. Also a lot of you were upset I called his ex "crazy" and referenced her Cocaine use as an example. I actually knew her personally, she was a pathological liar as well as being actually clinically insane, and did a LOT OF Cocaine, and was like.. 15 or 16 at the time. Throwing the word crazy around was rude of me, and of course Cocaine use doesn't mean crazy. I'm a bit jaded when it comes to her because she used to be my friend but has done some pretty messed up stuff. So sorry if I came off as insensitive and for tossing those words around like that. FINAL COMMENTS long_wang_big_balls Ran away when he was 20? Flew off the handle when you turned the tables? Wants to live with his parents forever? He sounds like a precious little flower that needs to sort himself out before committing to a relationship. You did the right thing. OOP I know, the running away from home at 20 thing was hilarious to me. His brother and I both laughed. I mean, if you're 20 you don't NEED to run away from home. You're an adult.. ~ Spectra88 When you called him and told him it was over how did he act? OOP Flipped out, same shit. I cheated, but also sobbing and begging me not to, but overall hostile towards me in his words and actions.

Apologies for swearing in the title, but after a hundred hours of researching, emailing, and speaking to UCLA advisors -- I finally figured out how to study abroad on your own, and save a lot of money doing so. But first, why would anyone do this? Exhibit A: Carlos III University of Madrid, Fall 2026 UCEAP Tuition + Fees: $10,867 (Source) Applying directly: $6,348 (24 Credits; €230/credit) Depending on your situation, that 71% markup may or may not be worth the peace-of-mind. But if you're Out-Of-State/International... UCEAP (Non-California Resident): $29,668 Like, damn. Who is this post for? Let me say out of the gate that UCEAP is a solid program that'll probably give you an amazing experience. Seeing and finding yourself in another country is probably worth any cost, even if it's much more than what it should be. If you value having less hassle, a UCEAP support-structure (I can't speak to if it's useful or not), have peak financial aid, or prefer the convenience of just conforming to the standard path, then this post is not for you. But if you're the type of person who gets satisfaction from figuring things out on your own, or consider it part of the adventure, then you're in for one hell of a ride. It's not like the host university will leave you hanging -- they made the program after all -- but you do have to be highly independent. Let's say you aren't that type of person, but the cost of UCEAP is preventing you from experiencing meaning in your life, then become that person...and take a leap of faith. Everything in this post is what I've discovered in the past month, but I am not an adivsor. I will cite sources, but VERIFY what's important to you. 1. Finding an actual Goddamn Program So this was the hard part...where I sent out enough cold emails that I forgot I'm not recruiting for IB. Thankfully, after a few leads, a friend's suggestion (thanks Rebecca), and a dangerous inability to admit defeat, I made it... A list of universities willing to accept "visiting students" or "free-movers" is on this website. A lot of info is just plain wrong, and their UI doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. BUT many listings have been verified by university staff. Go to their website, and actually verify the program and its cost. Some Crazy Finds: Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Ranked #19 in Germany): €1,500/Semester Tianjin University (#20 in China): ~$1,200/Semester Vilnius University (#1 in Lithuania): €60-70/Credit (aka literally free) These are some of the most well-known universities I could find, as the vast majority of listings are of small, private colleges in Europe -- although they can be very free. UCEAP's strength is that it has agreements usually with only the most recognizable and well-known universities in that country, but it acts like currency ratios don't exist since they're always charging ~$10k-11k tuition, no matter which country you're going to. Of course, I'm sure there are great opportunities which aren't listed here so you'll just have to find it yourself through various means. And always -- contact them to make sure their website info is accurate and you're actually eligible to apply. Woah...once you're through with that, the hard part is indeed done. FYI most applications for fall semester are usually around the spring of the same year (March is pretty common). 2. Fulfilling Major/Minor Classes Abroad This is something everyone has to worry about, including UCEAP. And you might be surprised that people who've studied abroad in the past have generally been able to keep on track for their major, almost as if they stayed put at UCLA. (Source: Study Abroad 101, listening to Panelists) Think about it...UCLA didn't invent real analysis, or cognitive psychology, or some upper-div physics concept. If I had to guess, everywhere's gonna have mostly the same shit. Just listen to them: https://ieo.ucla.edu/uceap/academics/ And you should talk with your department advisor multiple times before and after you study abroad (UCEAP can't save you from this), making sure the requirements you want to petition out of can actually get fulfilled abroad. "As long as you keep in constant communication, you should be fine. It's only when students don't tell us anything that they get a surprise." (rough quote from an advisor) I'm a Cognitive Science major, and learned that Psych 100A and 100B must be taken at UCLA, but Psych 85 could be petitioned for abroad. Generally, Upper-div's and electives are easier to petition for than lower-div's. (Source: Aubrey Dowling, Psych Department) Your department advisor is literally king, with omnipotent information. Just ask them. The difference for those studying independently, at least what I know from UCEAP advisors, is that you have to give UCLA an official copy of your transcript once you return in order to get credit (as in, counting towards the 180 units you need to graduate), whereas it would be automatic with UCEAP. That...doesn't really seem like a big deal, unless you have a phobia of submitting transcripts. (Source) To seal the deal, I asked Aubrey: "If I were to study abroad on my own, and a friend of mine was through UCEAP at the same university, sitting next to me in the same classes. Would there be any difference in how our petitions are approved? Is there a chance his would be granted but mine wouldn't?" Her answer (paraphrased): "You'd be treated the same way. We don't care if you're doing it through UCEAP or not, and probably wouldn't even know. All we look at is the syllabus, your transcript, and some other things in making our decision." 3. Maintaining enrollment at UCLA while you're away Check out planned academic leave. 4. What If I'm International? Are there extra complications for me? I can't speak too much to that. I do know that what you stand to gain in terms of cost-savings is a lot, lot greater than me if you pull it off. Two things I can speak to: Johnasson Vu, an international student from Shanghai on the Study Abroad 101 Panel, spent his whole junior year in Waseda University, Japan through UCEAP. So you can leave the country. The key question here is: What's the implication for my F-1 visa if I take planned academic leave? Ask them. Say you have a Chinese passport, you can't "study abroad" in China (even through UCEAP). Would be a crazy hack if you could just "study abroad" at Tsinghua. 5. How does our quarter-system fit into their semester-system? If you're studying abroad for "fall semester," usually that cuts into the last month of your summer and continues until the end of our fall quarter. If you study abroad for "spring semester," you'll generally be gone from UCLA for both winter and spring quarter. Though you'll save two quarters of tuition (Source: UCEAP advisors, can't remember exactly who) 6. This probably doesn't apply to you There's a very short list of universities you can't apply to since UCEAP has exclusive contracts with them. Note: If it's only specific to a summer program, then it doesn't apply during the regular semester. (Source) You can also email UCEAP directly to be extra sure. 7. If I plan on studying abroad, should I still apply to UCEAP? Yeah, why not? It's free to cancel before May/June 1st, and is a great backup in case things don't work out. And it's also first-come first-serve. 8. Am I betraying my UCEAP advisors by showing people that they don't need UCEAP? I can only say this. Robert Rodriguez (the goat), along with other advisors have all told me that it can be done. But since they're with UCEAP, they can't advise you on how to actually do it. All this information is already public, it just took over a month of research to find and compile. I'm sure a number of UCLA students have thought about it, and just didn't have the time to figure it out or thought it was impossible. Some may have never turned a page in their lives, and I hope that won't be true from now on. It's been done. It's possible. If I asked Robert what he'd want his legacy to be, I think he'd be most proud of enabling students to take the leap, experience the journey, and return with a fresh perspective on life. I think he'd say that's what UCEAP was meant for in the first place. A note about UCEAP advisors: I notice a definite hesitancy whenever you bring up studying abroad independently and suspect there's a policy where if a student brings it up, they provide a canned spiel about how "it's possible but you won't get financial aid, we can't provide you support in finding a program, you'll be on your own, you might have to find your own housing" yada yada. You should pay attention the first time, but it got annoying the fifth time around. I will comment that the host university is still a thing that exists, and it's not like they're gonna leave you hanging. They also usually have international-dorms -- the same ones, I suspect, that you'd be staying in if you were UCEAP. It's not like they built a dorm just for them. But you do have to deal with the differences arising from going your own path. I don't know how the visa-application process would work either, and it's totally possible that you'll get hit with some unforeseen problems. That's just adulthood. UCEAP advisors can still definitely be of help, and they'll usually try to still help you within the confines of their job. Then ask the right, pointed questions that would apply to both you and those doing their program. Don't just go: "so a random dude on reddit said x..." Last Words: You might be surprised that study abroad could be so affordable. If that's you, then you're the person who'd benefit most from touching some non-LA grass. The rest of the world does not make the kind of money to pay $2200/mo in rent and $16 for a hamburger. This summer in Japan, I spent ~$2,000 over 20 days of travel. That might seem pretty ordinary, but if you think about it -- a year is 365 days, and I'm living off $36,500 a year. You can make that at McDonald's. So it really shouldn't blow your mind that it's cheaper to study outside the US. In fact, it's the only thing that makes sense. What doesn't make sense is paying $10,000 or more to study in Argentina, Spain, Taiwan, or anywhere else where people are definetly not paying that kind of money for a semester in college. In closing, after perhaps nine hours of writing...I just wanted to say that this is for you. It's for all the genuinely thoughtful strangers I've met at UCLA over these last two years, who've become my friends, changed my life, and have just been so epicly cool to talk to. I might've met you before and doubt I'll see you again, but I've relied on the kindness of strangers all my life...and this is the least I can do. And if they ask, my name is Anthony Wu. TL;DR Just do it. submitted by /u/Anthony_Wu to r/ucla [link] [comments]

Regardless of your stance on Palestine, why would they do this given that there is a humanitarian crisis right across the border? Like wouldn’t you be unsettled knowing that just a few miles away there are people starving? This feels tone deaf and politically obtuse imo. submitted by /u/Same-Wrap-6022 to r/UCSD [link] [comments]

Hi guys, I‘m originally from Germany but I‘ve travelled quite a lot of countries for 2 years now. Now that I came back home after 2 years I realized that I do not like living in Germany anymore. However I‘ve now started a bachelor‘s degree in environmental sciences in a university in Germany. I‘m currently thinking of studying abroad next year since I do not feel comfortable anymore. I was thinking about studying in either Spain, Italy, Ireland, Sweden, Japan, Korea or Australia. Quite a lot of countries - I know. But as I’m just at the beginning of my research I wanted to ask you guys if you have any recommendations. Maybe you are currently studying in one of the above mentioned countries, who knows? submitted by /u/-NinJane- to r/studyAbroad [link] [comments]

hi everyone, i really need to get this off my chest because i have no one else to talk to, and i know it might sound a bit over the top. i’m f21 and came to china from eastern europe to study. the thing is, i realized that i absolutely cannot share any tiny space including bathroom with someone else (i have really bad shy bowel syndrome), especially with strangers. when i got a scholarship in beijing, i was hoping that i could pay for a single room, but for some reason scholarship students aren’t allowed to do that in my uni. I unfortunately i come from a poor family, so i can’t afford any housing outside campus. i’ve been here for a week and haven’t met a single person. i’m completely alone, there are almost no foreigners, and i’m really scared. i haven’t slept at all for about 5 days, i can’t eat properly, i feel nauseous all the time, and the worst part is that i have panic attacks and crying episodes about 10 times a day, which really worries my roommate. nights are the hardest—I feel pure terror and start crying uncontrollably. i feel like i’m slowly losing my mind and it really scares me. do you think i should give up the grant and studying abroad and go back home? should i see a psychiatrist? i’m genuinely worried i won’t be able to handle a few more weeks in these conditions… submitted by /u/idkillyou to r/studyAbroad [link] [comments]

Edit: This is not meant to be a deterrent for those who want to study abroad; it can be a marvelous experience. It's simply a warning not to make the same mistake I did! *********************************************************************************************************************** This is just purely my experience and obviously finances depend person to person but I think as a general consensus, I have found this to be true. I am an American student currently studying abroad in Hong Kong and decided to come for reasons like most: New culture, new experience, new lines of thinking, cool sights, language immersion, friends, etc. However, unlike most (so it seems) exchange students here -- I came here on financial aid with limited funds, thinking it would be enough to sustain me throughout the semester. I won't disclose how much it was, but let's just say you could make what I had in one month with a McDonald's salary. Upon coming here everything was fine -- I met many new people, went out occasionally, joined clubs/activities, went out for food, cool new experiences. Typically, I spent money whenever my friend's did -- which to be fair sometimes was much but most of the time, things were reasonably priced. ****************************************************************************************************************** NOTE: My school advertised the study abroad experience as being available to everyone regardless of financial situations especially because they are pretty generous with their financial aid. However, every month, I seemed to encounter a new fee either from my home institution or the institution I was studying at that I didn't know about before. As these fees appeared, so did the ever seemingly dissipation of friends due to the fact that I didn't have the money to do as many activities as before. (These activities included travelling to different countries like Japan, Thailand, Philippines etc. (which I unfortunately didn't have the complete luxury of doing)) I am now left with less than $300 for essentially four weeks which pretty much just covers food. You might say, "I'm sure there are plenty of free things to do while you are there." Sure, to be honest I'll probably go on a hike or two before I leave and maybe take one more food outing -- but I'll most likely be doing those things by myself. You might also say, "Why can't your family help?" I only have my mom and she couldn't contribute anything at all, which is fine, I don't expect her to because she has other financial things to deal with and my extended family contributed as much as they could which I am EXTREMELY thankful for -- but for something like this, it can be difficult. ****************************************************************************************************************** Now let's get to the point about friends. Most of the exchange students are friends with just the exchange students -- and what I have found from most of the exchange students (maybe I just haven't found the ones in my same boat) have parents or other means from back home that sustain them. In other words, they have other sources of income should they need it if they "run out of money." That said, these are the only people I can seem to find some sort of mutual connection with --- even if we don't share the same goals and values. This in turn causes me to almost have to spend more money than I really should if I am to maintain those friendships. I made it a point to make friends with the locals but they keep to themselves unless you are Chinese and speak Cantonese/Mandarin (I am not Chinese (I'm Black Biracial) but I can speak Mandarin conversationally). That said, even if I've inserted myself into social spaces I definitely felt a bit left out/discluded in some scenarios. This and the fact that I couldn't/can't go out much because of money issues caused me to go through waves of depression/anxiety, especially in regards to making friends -- finding groups while I am here (despite still having some friends here and there). My boyfriend came to visit me once for around 3 weeks in the beginning and while he was here, he paid for all of our outings, meals, etc. (even made it to Thailand for Valentines day, SUPER FUN) which honestly was the only way I was able to save some money. But now that I've reached basically the end of the semester, I'm virtually completely broke and will need to find some way to make money IMMEDIATELY when I get back home. Nonetheless, if it weren't for the fact that I was stressed about money and trying to do everything my friends were doing the whole time whilst maintaining those friendships (which in many ways felt transactional/social statusy amongst exchange students), maybe I would've enjoyed my experience a bit more. I won't say it wasn't worthwhile -- it definitely was an experience. But if given the choice to go back in time and make the choice to study abroad again --- at least in Hong Kong, I wouldn't do it -- it's not worth the stress. At least, not without knowing I would be sustained financially while I was here. TLDR: Unless you plan on staying indoors the whole time and spending only $15 a day as a low income, self-sufficient student in a different country, don't study abroad unless you have the funds to do so. submitted by /u/ConstructionFun5305 to r/studyAbroad [link] [comments]
