 The reason why I came this far to study is because the tuition fees first of all were affordable and also I wanted to get like a different cultural experience than back in my country so I thought it was a great opportunity to both study in English and get to know another culture plus the education here is of a higher level than in my country so that was of a greater advantage. I think it's a really good idea to study abroad because you get to know a lot of international people first of all so you're not only surrounded by people from your own culture who speak your own language but you also get to know different cultures and different people coming from different places over the world and you're all sharing the same scenario which is both studying in another country and overcoming some difficulties that involves so I think it's a great opportunity that everyone who has the chance to take should do Here there's a lot more opportunities than back in my country to begin with the government provides with scholarships for people who cannot afford to pay their own tuition fee plus if you're still struggling with your money you can also work and get a grant from the government that helps a lot of people to come here to this country to study that's something that we students appreciate a lot from how this country works Other opportunities for example are during the middle of Europe and then you can travel basically all over also transportation here within the country is really affordable for students so you can get to know many many cities and do short trips and I think that's pretty good for us For me to overcome the cultural difference was not so difficult because I travel a lot back when I was like 16 to 18 I travel a lot around the world I would say but still it's a struggle to go to a country where you don't speak the language that's the main difficulty also the weather and all the activities are different also the culture of the people and their behavior is different so I think you just have to approach people from this country and try to adapt to what they do also see why they do it this way right and I think that's a good way of interacting with the culture and overcoming the difference between yours and theirs Even when the studies are taking out of my energy and then you should go to classes prepare for your exams and also do your internship and final thesis my ultimate goal is to have my own company and work for myself and I think that not only the studies and what you learn prepare you for that but also the fact that you do an internship and a thesis which is like a final internship in a company allow you to see how the market works right how companies work how projects are done within a company plus you also study with a lot of international people so your network is quite broad so that allows you to have different options and different points of view about the different topic or business whatever you want to work in the studies help me to get to my final point both by providing me theoretical and practical work so on one side you have all the teachers in your school who help you solve doubts gain more knowledge about something or they can give you tips about how industries work how you can decide by yourself is it worth for me to go there or not plus when you go to a company and you do an internship then you can really see how is it working there right so you can have an overview of how the industry where you want to work is before going there and say ok I will work like an engineer then first you go and say ok how is it working as an engineer and then you see it by your own eyes
