Please I'm confused asf
OK so I'm in 10th grade rn, and I was thinking of studying abroad after 12th grade. I'm Indian and studying in a foreign country has always been my dream, it's my only hope of getting a better life and escaping my toxic ass family.
But I legit don't know where do start. I'll be going there on a scholarship, because I literally am dirt poor. (I will take a student loan tho, if required) . I've heard that you need to give some exams like SAT and some English proficiency tests. Does colleges in Europe accept SAT scores (because I don't really want to go to America, seeing all the issues they have, no hate tho, America has great people and is a nice country but I think it's gonna be very expensive for me)
Is is mandatory to know the language of the country I'll be going to. Can't I learn the language when I arrive there?? And some colleges offer courses in English too, right??
I'm just very confused, how do I even apply for scholarships or what if I get scammed. I'm really just desperate so I'll be applying to a lot of colleges in different countries. I don't think I have enough confidence in my English skills. And I don't have anyone to take advice from. (I can't really ask my parents or family members because I know they will get mad at me for even thinking of going abroad)
*COUGH* colleges in Europe normally take you're grades in secondary school/highschool and do shit with them. I know my stuff since i live in Europe 1 reply

Come study in Australia! We have some great uni’s you can go to their websites and see about scholarships etc. We are pretty close with our Indian neighbours and have loads of English courses (multicultural nation with many immigrants and students).
You still have a few years to improve your confidence with English. Either way, I suggest visitin...... 2 reply

you can email colleges or text international student communities like facebook groups and be open with your concerns and confusions, if they reply, i'm sure you'll get some, you'll be able to learn and understand more how the system or their system works reply

I have no idea what I'm gonna do after 12th but here's some things I'm keeping in mind for applying to US colleges:
1. Extra curriculars matter a lot. So focus on doing something like that. A person with 90% marks with extra curriculars has a greater chance in...... 1 reply
