    Hi friends, i wanna transfer bachelor's in computer system engg credits to some foreign university.. searching universities in UK and US but havent found any low cost.. Well, frankly speaking my parents can only afford $400.. $500 per month as my tution fee.. I heard universities are doing more business than concentrating on studies.. Is their any chance that i could get student loan from any of these countries? and pay them back step wise..?? Or any private financing firms doing so?

    I have another option in my mind as well.. even is this possible that i pay $3000-- $5000 upfront and when i get stablished there, i start earning through my profession and few online skills that i have? can i earn this much per month that i can just pay my tution fees?

    All students and wellwishers are welcome to reply.. I will really appreciate that ! :)

    Where are you from? In the UK (here) we accept EU students for the same fees as home students - currently GBP £3000 per year (about $500 per month). I think we have some arrangement for helping foreign students, but it really depends on your home country.

    To be honest, you may be just as well contacting the universities directly. They have a "set" pricing for foreign students that they advertise, but if you were to contact them and ask them if they would consider accepting what you could afford, they may be able to waive up to half of the tuition fees depending on the course occupancy.

    You should bear in mind though that the tuition fees are probably the least of your worries - accommodation and living expenses can be high, so this may affect your choice of university. If going to the UK, I'd recommend that you stay as far from London as possible since living expenses there are ridiculous.

    yeah.. alot of people say living close to london is quiet expensive.. :rolleyes: Frankly speaking, i just click the close button when i see their "set" prices for international students.. lol. They usually lie between 8000 to 12000 pounds far more than alot of US universities where tution fees are normally $9000 for bachelors in engineering.. Iam very confused.. really dont know where to start off ? :confused:

    lol.. ask the thousands of students left their home and family comfort and studying abroad. Just for a better and recognized degree.. and a better future! Youll see job opportunities in 3rd world countries like mine with statements.. "Foreign degree holder will be preferred" :eek:

    My Friend.. I Think that Australia is better than US, and UK..
    It has many options and the system of paying is really good and I Think It comfort You!!!
    Try searching for universities in Australia and you'll be so glad...
    But If you are strict to Study in US Or In UK, Ask and Try The Best you can to find the one that Suites You...
