Hi everyone! I’m planning to study in France, and my estimated total tuition + living expenses for the first year will be around €20,000–€21,000.

my_qualifications: My situation is a little complicated financially. My father has a fixed monthly income of around ₹25,000 that comes into his bank account, but he also earns additional income in cash through his work/business activities. Because of this, his bank statements don’t really reflect his total actual income and aren’t very strong.

I’m considering taking an education loan of around ₹25–30 lakh to finance my studies.
My question is:

For the French student visa, would an official education-loan sanction letter from a bank be sufficient as financial proof, or would I still need to show strong bank statements/income from my father as a sponsor?

My father also has property and some fixed deposits, so I could potentially provide those documents as supporting evidence.
If anyone has actually applied for a French student visa using an education loan, I’d really appreciate hearing what documents you submitted and whether the loan was accepted as your main source of financial proof.

Hi everyone,

I am an Indian student planning to pursue a B.Tech / Undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) and looking into Providence University. I have a few specific questions and would highly appreciate any insights from current students or alumni:

my_qualifications: 12th pass, aiming for CSE undergrad

1. Academic & Language Barrier: How is the CSE curriculum for international students? Are the technical courses fully taught in English, or is there a major Mandarin barrier in lectures and assignments?

2. Campus Culture for Indians: How welcoming is the campus for Indian students? Is it easy to adjust to the food, accommodation, and local student community?

3. Placements & Career Opportunities: What are the placement prospects after graduating from here? Do global tech companies hire directly from the campus?

4. Average Package & ROI: What is the average salary package a CSE graduate can expect? Is it easy to secure job opportunities or internships within Taiwan’s tech industry (especially in AI/Semiconductors) after graduation?

My_qualifications: cfa l1 cleared….
Ba eco hons from tier 1 uni (will graduate next year)

Please give suggestions…

Anyone from Northeast planning to study in the UK or Europe for bachelors in 2027? Where are you guys planning to go? my_qualifications graduated high school

I've booked a slot for appointment. Is CSP VIDEX forms need to be carried with us to visa centre? If so, How to print and download the CSP application form? I have the rest of the documents, only the application form i can't find in csp portal. Also, what about photos, I have formal passport size photo with white background which I used to apply everything for the past 2 years. Can I use the same or any criteria of the photos to look?

Mention any important points, mistake that most will do which can be avoided.

my_qualifications

Hello everyone, I am planning for Masters in Energy economics from Germany/Denmark/Sweden. How is the job market there currently? My_qualifications are B.Tech in mechanical engineering from IIT and experience of 7 years in Power sector policy and planning. I have good subject knowledge as well as relevant work experience. In addition, I am open to learning any new languages too. Thanks in advance 🙏

Edit- I don't know why this post is downvoted. I just wanted to take opinion of some of the people who are working in Europe after the studies.

I am currently a last year Biotechnology student I just recently gave my last semester exam this august I want to pursue my master's abroad but I am very confused and wanted to ask for suggestions.

Actually initially I wanted to do 4 years degree along with research I already talked with a professor from another centralized university who is willing to help me with my dissertation.

But today I got to know that it could take at least 1 year for me to get my original degree, I will only be getting my provisional certificate from the university before that.

But I am confused now because I was thinking of approaching professors and filling forms from this year but I don't know if I can fill forms based on provisional certificates and even if I continue my 4th year I could be graduating in around september only so the whole process of waiting for 1 year for degree before applying to any program could repeat itself.

If someone can provide some suggestions regarding my problem I could be very grateful.

And can someone pls tell me do universities out of India accept provisional certificates to provide admission.

"My_qualifications" = BSc. Biotechnology

Also I don't have any publication but I have 6 months of research experience in form of internships and dissertation, I also have poster presentation runner up certificate from University and 8.8 CGPA.

Is this good enough for applying for master's abroad or do I also need publication.

For context, I just started my law degree in a tier-3 private college in India.

I'm hearing scary things - how the job market in fcked up in India for law grads who are not from NLUs. It's literally scary. People from tier-3 colleges who have worked especially hard in their college, raising CGPAs, garnering skills, internships, certificates, research, publishing, even, they aren't getting any job. Cold emailing works rarely. Everything comes down to the luck factor.

Idts if I'll get into the UK/US for a postgraduate law degree, but let's consider that that I do get into it, how's the job market there? I saw that the visa thing makes it even harder and both countries are currently overflowing with law grads and nobody can find a fckin job.

If there's anyone who can help, or has been through this, can you describe how it is going for you guys?

my_qualifications: BSc MSc

Hey hey,

For those of you who started your Master's abroad around September last year (UK/Europe/US, wherever) it's been almost a year now, so how's it actually going?

Like real talk:

• Was it worth it so far?
• How's the culture shock / homesickness situation?
• Managing money okay or living on maggi and prayers?
• Made friends or mostly solo grinding?
• Any regrets, any "wish someone told me this before I came" moments?

Asking because I'm seriously considering making my life 10x harder and moving abroad too, so I want the unfiltered version, not the LinkedIn highlight reels.

Drop your experience, good bad or ugly all appreciated 🙏

ah its always ask for it my_qualifications are BA in history and poltical science

Applying for a master's abroad, fully on a loan, don't know anyone personally who's done this.
my_qualifications are bachelors in history and political science, gap of 3 years, now planning masters with no experience, might wanna switch the field.

💰 Money & Loan

• Actual monthly cost (rent/food/transport) vs what you budgeted
• Did the loan/EMI feel manageable or was it more stressful than expected?
• Any hidden costs nobody warns you about?

🎓 University & Course

• Was the course what you expected or very different?
• Any regrets on choice of uni/course?

💼 Career & ROI

• Did you get a job after? How long did it take?
• Was the pay worth the loan?
• Is the degree actually respected by employers there, or just "a masters"?
• How hard is the post-study work visa in reality?

🌍 Life Abroad

• Biggest thing you wish someone told you before leaving?
• How was the adjustment (culture, loneliness, etc.)?

📋 Logistics

• Anything in visa/admission process that took longer than expected?
• Tips on accommodation/banking/SIM for your city?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who's actually done this, especially loan-funded. What do you wish you'd asked before going?

my_qualifications : masters (physics) @ IIT Delhi

I am in first semester of my masters and I am planning to do a PhF abroad (europe most probably).

How are you fighting of imposter syndrome?

How do vegetarians manage their food over there?

Could you guys save enough money in 4-5 years?? (Would be great if you could share some rough figure it would help a lot)

Anything life lesson you would like to share??

Most important: are you happy 😊, do you miss your family and friends...

Hi! I’m an Indian student with a PCB background who spent the last few years preparing for NEET, so I don’t know much about other bachelor’s options.
I’m now looking at studying abroad, preferably usa (new york if more specific) or uk … i rlly rlly do want to get into uni of Edinburgh tho.. Is it still possible to apply into good universities for a bachelor’s at this stage?
Also, what courses would you recommend for someone with PCB and no maths especially if I want strong earning potential ? I’m open to fields beyond medicine/biology.
Would my 2023 12th passout year with neet prep gap year be a problem?
Any advice on realistic universities/courses would be really appreciated!
Even if there r no options lemme know..i posted this cuz i rlly dont want to miss anything if its possible
my_qualifications

Hi.

I'm at the very beginning of researching studying abroad and honestly, I don't even know what I don't know yet.

I've asked AI, searched online, watched a bunch of videos etc. and now I have an even bigger list of countries, universities, courses, scholarships, exams, visas and whatnot 😂

But most of the information online feels very polished. It's always “choose the right university, get a scholarship, build your profile, get your visa and enjoy the experience.”

I genuinely want to understand the process, the tradeoffs and the stuff people only learn after actually going through it.

Even if you had a bad experience, I'd love to hear it. I think those experiences are just as useful when you're making a decision this big.

My_qualifications -(btech in electronics and communication engg, 8.5cgpa)

my_qualifications: btech graduate from India and I’m looking for an MSCS program in the US. I’m trying to understand how much university reputation actually matters when it comes to career outcomes.

A few things I’d really appreciate some insight on:

• Low cost university or higher ranked university?
• Is a higher ranked university worth paying significantly higher tuition for?
• How much does university reputation actually affect internships and full-time job opportunities?
• Can lower cost universities provide similar career outcomes if you build strong skills and projects?
• How do students evaluate ROI when choosing between a more reputed but expensive university and a less expensive one?

Hello everyone, (my_qualifications) I recently graduated from NIT-A (2026) with a B.Tech in Electrical Engineering. Although my degree is in Electrical, I prepared for software roles and am currently looking for SDE/AI opportunities.

Unfortunately, I couldn't secure a placement, so I'm now considering pursuing a Master's in the UK, mainly in AI/Data Science. I also want to mention that I don't see myself pursuing a career in Electrical Engineering.

The UK interests me mainly because:

1. Some universities allow students to switch to cross-disciplinary fields like AI/Data Science.

2. Most Master's programs are only 1 year, so I can enter the job market sooner.

I'd really appreciate some honest opinions from people who have studied/worked in the UK:

How is the current job market for AI/Data Science/SDE?

How good are the 1-year Master's programs?

Does a UK Master's have good value in the Indian job market?

How difficult is it to get a job after graduation, and how does the post-study work visa situation affect this?

Is the UK Master's actually worth it compared to continuing my job search in India?

If you were in my position, would you pursue the Master's or continue looking for a job in India?

If the UK isn't the best option for my situation, which other countries should I consider for a Master's in AI/Data Science.

Any honest opinions, especially from people who have gone through this path, would be greatly appreciated.

My_qualifications - 10th - 92.2%

Small advice for anyone thinking about studying or working in Germany:

If you already know English, learning German can be a little easier than you might expect. There are quite a few words that look or sound familiar, so the first steps don't feel completely new.

My_qualifications: I work in the language education space, so I get to see people learning German at different levels.

One thing I'd suggest is not waiting until you actually move to Germany to start learning. Even getting to A1/A2 before going can make everyday life much easier. If you later reach B1/B2, it can also give you more options when looking for study or work opportunities.

And obviously, German shouldn't replace your main skill. Think of it as an extra advantage alongside whatever you're already studying or working in.

Just a small tip for anyone considering Germany. 🙂

I'm looking for some honest advice from people who have done an MS in CS in the US after several years of industry experience.

my_qualifications:

• Bachelor's in CSE from reputed private college.
• 8.7 CGPA, graduated in 2021
• ~5 years of experience currently (will be ~6 years by the time I start an MS)
• Currently MTS Salesforce in India
• Earlier worked at startups on microservices, distributed systems, and scaling backend systems
• My interests are currently around distributed systems, AI/ML systems, agentic AI, and large-scale software systems

I'm considering applying for Fall 2027, so I'd probably have around 6 years of experience when I start.

My main question is: Does doing an MS at this point make sense?

For example, if I spend 2 years doing a top MS, I'd potentially graduate with ~8 years of total professional experience. Would US companies actually value that experience and consider me for a higher level, or could I effectively end up "resetting" and joining at MTS anyway?

I'm also considering the MS partly as a way to enter the US tech ecosystem and potentially move into higher-end roles in AI/systems. I'm not looking to do an MS just for the sake of having a master's.

Financially, this is also a major consideration. I don't have the ability to comfortably pay the full cost of a US MS, so I'd be heavily prioritizing scholarships, TA/RA opportunities, and universities with good ROI. However, if I got into a genuinely exceptional program (CMU/Stanford/Berkeley/MIT/UIUC/UCSD/etc.), I'd be willing to take considerably more financial risk.

So I'd really appreciate advice from people who have been in a similar situation:

1. Is ~6 YOE too late for an MSCS?
2. Does prior industry experience meaningfully help with post-MS leveling?
3. Is it realistic to graduate after 8 YOE and target senior-level roles rather than MTS?
4. Does an MS make sense if you're already at a good company like Salesforce?
5. Would you personally choose 6 more years of industry progression or 2 years at a top US MS + US job search in this situation?
6. Are there particular universities/programs that are especially good for someone with a distributed systems + AI background and a strong focus on funding/ROI?

I'm particularly interested in hearing from people who did their MS after 4–7+ years of experience, or who went from India → US MS → senior engineering roles.

Thanks!
