Advantage And Disadvantage Of Indian Students

With an increase in student mobility around the world, there are many positive outcomes related to learning a different set of education from their home country and obtaining intercultural experiences with a global mindset. On the other hand, students may struggle with different challenges, which they may have unexpected to encounter.

They have to face new experience and new challenges in their life when they come to abroad. The first year of their college abroad is a litmus test for them, if they have a positive experience they will stay but if they have negative experience they have to leave. I had observed the issues faced by the international students over here as they make their entry to new culture and a new educational system. They have to begin a new life in an environment that is very different. For example simple tasks such as going to grocery store where the language is different and the products are unfamiliar. The education system in India and Canada is different as in India, more focus is on memorization and there is no practical work but over here, more focus is on problem-solving skills and self-guided research. Majority of the students live without their family which is very hard for them to live without parents in abroad. Their parents sent them over here with a hope of their family

The world is becoming increasingly multicultural, and college students are encouraged to become global citizens. In the past decade, studying abroad has become an increasingly popular aspect of undergraduate study.

The United States leads the world in the number of international students who have chosen to study away from their home nation (Witherell & Clayton, 2014). However, other nations such as the United Kingdom and Australia are gaining on the United States and have higher retention rates (Burkholder & Holland, 2014). Moreover, these nations have clearly defined national policies to improve the recruitment and retention of international students, which the United States lacks (Andrade, 2006). International students provide an abundant source of benefits, which include financial stability, cultural awareness, and improved skills among domestic students (Luo & Jamieson-Drake, 2013; Owens, Srivastava, & Feerasta, 2011). However, adjusting

We cannot calculate the essence value of the overseas experience by numbers, but there is no doubt it is beneficial to any type of the students. Indiana University and the University System of Georgia did the research of this issue, and the result is higher four-year graduation rates among those who studied abroad. Nowadays, almost all the industries, business

The United States accommodates the largest pool of international students globally, with over one million students choosing to extend their education and life experience in the US. The number has grown since the 1950s and continues to grow due to the quality of teaching offered and the multi-cultured environment that allows for wholesome growth and unforgettable life experience. Additionally, the prospect of getting into the US labor market has made international students prefer the US as a study destination. The number of universities and colleges offering a broad range of courses has also grown thereby encouraging more

Education is a never-ending learning process that has always been a piece of our life. As education is a building block in our lives, we are eager to put profoundly into our education. Good education will lead us to the bright future. With the fast advancement of public opinion, we have entered an era of information explosion which the necessity of studying abroad has turned into a developing pattern among youth. Most of the students feel that studying abroad is better than studying in local universities. As the saying goes, “the grass always looks greener on the other side of fence.” In this way, I believe that considering abroad have extraordinary points of benefits.

During the last few decades, the United States has leading other develop countries in attracting the highest number of international students interested in pursuing post-secondary degree. According to the Open Doors report, “The number of international students at colleges and universities in the United States increased by 7.0 percent to a record high of 623,805 in the past academic year, and by 165 percent in the last three decades” (Institute for International Education, 2008). The influx of international students in the US, seems to have a positive influence to America economy and diversity enriches the social life as well. America a capitalize country still allow its doors open, hence confirming the above claim. International students have taken advantage of the American open doors to study in US despite the many challenges lying ahead of them. Unfortunately these students travel to the US not know the psychological stress awaiting them. Psychological stress may come as a result of both academic and social experiences. Isolation, culture shock, and alienation may sometimes be stressful and can engender homesickness. On the other hand, increasing number of international students in the US is also a

Australia, the U.S. and the U.K. have, in recent years, emerged as key players in the international student market. Australia has developed a strongly entrepreneurial approach to attracting the lucrative overseas student market, a key factor in is the potentially enormous profitability that ensues from Australia’s ability to attract “tens of thousands of students from several different countries” establishing a “diversified market with strong growth potential” (Verbik & Lasanowski, 2007, p.5). One reason for Australia’s success in the international student market is that it has a high numbers of students from India and China and these two countries are generally regarded as “the world’s two most prominent source countries” (Ibid). Australia has had success in supplying the enormous demand for higher education for international students from these countries and the numbers of Chinese and Indian students seeking higher education provision in Australia is expected to grow in the foreseeable future. There are several reasons why Australia has so much success in increasing international student numbers. These include effective marketing; English language; proximity to Asian countries; relatively affordable living and study costs and importantly, a quality education in terms of coursework and support for the needs of international students (Terrell, cited in Bartel & Petersen, 1999, pp. 73-75).

Thus, many international students face obstacles in their path as they pursue higher education outside home countries. They face problems, such as different food, difference in living circumstances, financial issues, difference in studying schedules, learning styles, and difficulties related to language, culture, and personal barriers. If Indian colleges are going to include international students on their campuses, these issues should be addressed and

In conclusion, Indian students are a strong presence in USA. American higher education has been a light for international students around the world. However, global competition for international students is growing. The U.S. government should work to support colleges and universities as they continue to increase their international enrollment. International students are either most comfortable among others students from their cultural/regional background, or among other international students. That may be influencing the selection of location is fear and misperception. Many students featured in study identified the downtown location as

“In 2006 to 2007, according to the data compiled by the Institute of International Education, 582,984 students from all over the world were enrolled in American colleges and universities in a wide range of fields” (Carter, Paragraph 2, 2008). The United States has the highest number of students who are coming to study abroad than any other countries. Each year, the number of international students coming to the United States to obtain degrees is increasing by thousands, and home countries of these students are primarily India, China and Korea, all located in the whole different continent. But what are the motives of students who are crossing the sea to study? Their goal of studying abroad is to experience diversity and to adapt attitudes

The purpose of this Literature review is to signal to the reader how study abroad is beneficial to all college students ' development. The journals make it a point to say that the study abroad programs offered in universities are expanding and participation by students is increasing. Also stated, is professors that wish that their students who are excluded by their major from studying abroad to have a program that allows them to go abroad. This field of study is interesting because it positively affects the student 's life afterward mainly with job opportunities. Helping students realize that study abroad is much more of an academic experience can help make the world a better place and can create more global citizens.

In India, there are number of universities and colleges and but their degree certificates are not globally recognized very few of the university certificates are globally recognized. This is also one major factor for students to pursue higher educations in foreign universities. The degrees of foreign universities are globally accepted. If a student get a degree from one of the foreign universities is accepted everywhere. By this degree student increases their changes to get a employment anywhere in the world.

The price of food, transportation and accommodation is much higher abroad. So, these are the reasons why I think studying in local universities is better than studying abroad
