Higher Education / Study Abroad Safety Tips
« on: November 29, 2017, 01:51:38 PM »
e all know that studying abroad can be a really fun experience and you should do everything you can to make the most of your time abroad. However, as well as having lots of fun you need to be aware of some of the dangers that you can encounter when you plan to study abroad.

This article is going to provide you firstly with some links and tips on how to find out more information about the country you are going to be traveling to, and then we will give you some hints and tips on how to stay safe and some general rules you should follow.

Travel Warnings and Country Information
Before you depart you should try and gather as much information as you can about current travel warnings that are in place to specific countries. It is recommended that you do not travel to countries on these lists. You should also be aware that most insurance companies will void any coverage you have if you are injured or hurt in countries that are on these lists. The best way to find what the current travel warnings are is to visit:

As well as general country travel warnings it is good to get as much information about the country you are traveling to such as traditions, procedures on how to do things and much more. To find country specific information we recommend you visit:

US State Department Country Information Sheets
UK Country Information Sheets
We also recommend using resources such as Google and Wikipedia which will provide you with more specific country information.

In Country Safety Tips
Hopefully before you have left you would have studied up and learnt as much about your adopted country before you have left so this will put you in good stead for when you are there as you will have a better knowledge of customs and traditions.

You should also take care to follow some very simple rules so that you do not bring unwanted trouble to you:

Stay Alert and Trust your Instincts

Its always good to be alert and aware of what is going on around you. If you are in a busy market or square, just make sure you are aware of the people and what is going on around you and if you feel uneasy or are not sure about something get out and away from the place. At the end of the day you should trust your instincts and if you are not happy about something move away and to an area that you feel more comfortable.

Higher Education / How Important Is Socializing While Studying Abroad?
« on: November 29, 2017, 01:50:53 PM »
As you step outside your little nest and decide to fly abroad to do your higher studies, try to develop an open mind. If you think that all you need to prepare yourself for is just academic hard work, then think again!  The whole purpose of studying abroad is to experience a new social and cultural lifestyle. This experience could be what you need to develop life-changing skills that would help better both your personal and professional life.

When abroad, it helps to be curious about social aspects such as foreign culture and their people and languages. Embrace the differences that you experience and let the culture shock not affect you too much. Universities generally offer international students English and language classes to help them connect better locally. These maybe helpful in the long run if you decide to stay and make a living abroad; fluency in language is always a big plus anywhere you go.  In non- English speaking places, natives are generally appreciative of the fact that you try to speak to them in the local language to communicate with them.

It helps to be socially sensitive and get accustomed to local festivities and social norms. A good way to do this is go for host family accommodation. Many universities have this option to help students get back up on their feet if they get hit by nostalgia. The host family generally provides them with at least two meals in a day and a room and their company in the house whenever needed. It is one of the best ways to mingle with the locals and feel the essence of the place.

Higher Education / 7 Essential Tips for Those Planning to Study Abroad
« on: November 29, 2017, 01:50:22 PM »
Studying abroad is a global dream of millions of students. As far as we all understand, education plays a very important role in every person's life today, and sometimes it happens so that studying in a foreign country, rather foreign education, can give you better knowledge, skills and a more respective job.
Unfortunately, not all students who want to study abroad have such opportunities. Moreover, sometimes they don't want or are afraid of obtaining this chance. What can we say? Never miss a chance to study abroad, if you have one! This is your opportunity to get both good education and a great experience.
So if you are one of those lucky ones to study abroad, there are 7 essential tips for you to remember and follow in order to make this process worthy. Ask the following questions to yourself.
What country do you want to study in?

You should understand that different countries have different educational environment, and that is why some of them may be not very good for you personally. It would not be wise to go somewhere (a country) only because you like its climate or sights.
What can you do? You may ask your friends who studied abroad to help you here: they have the experience, and they may advise you something. One more variant is to ask special education consultants: just tell them about your study needs, and they will advise the most suitable countries for you.
Certainly, there are some countries in the world that are considered the best ones to study in, as they provide the best colleges and universities as well as the best educational system in general. We bet you know them already (the USA, Germany, Australia and the UK would be your perfect choice anyway).
But if you want to look beyond the traditional choices and go with countries like Canada or Ireland or New Zealand where the post-study work options are quite good and plenty, then you might be taking a right decision.

Guidance for Job Market / Stop Thinking, Start Doing
« on: November 29, 2017, 01:46:44 PM »
You claim you’re content with life. “I have a decent job, a home, and a family who loves me, what more could I ask for?” The answer is…a hell of a lot.
I don’t write about personal development because I believe in being holier than thou. I write about it, because deep down, we all want better for ourselves. There’s nothing wrong with that.
You want more for your life, have a dream you’d like to pursue, or at minimum an inkling of wanting to change.
There is only one method for achieving…well…anything. You have to become a doer.
Thinking is For Suckers
You’ve heard the saying “God laughs at your meticulous plans for the future.”
Life almost never works out the way you picture it in your mind. Thinking long and hard about what you’re going to do won’t help you actually do it. In fact, overthinking will keep you from doing anything.
I’m not saying to follow every impulse you have or make no plans for your future whatsoever. I do, however, encourage you to realize the thinking part of the equation covers ten percent of the process. The doing makes up the other 90.
I’ll use my own experience as an example. I thought about writing for years. I read blog post after blog post on starting a writing career. Before I’d pull the trigger, I weighed the pros and cons in my mind. For a while, the cons won out.
“Nobody knows who you are. How will you stand out?”
“Writers don’t make any money.”
“Quit kidding yourself.”

The first is that I’m a terrible writer. I’ve only known and written in an academic way, because that’s how I was taught in schools. It was useful then, and is still useful now, but it serves only a few audiences.
The second thing is that no matter how terribly I write, I’m always excused by my readers if I have something worth sharing. Nobody cares that my writing is not the most conversational, or even professional at all. I’m still developing my voice, and the worst part of this development is that I’m stuck in the middle of nowhere. Yet people still find a way to power through those words I’ve penned if I’m interesting enough.
It’s probably because I’ve only tried my hand at non-fiction so far. It would be a different story if I attempted to write fantasies like George RR Martin, Tolkien, and J.K. Rowling. But what I’m saying is that you can begin writing even if you don’t possess the technical skill and unique voice that all good writers possess.
There are two ways — both of which work.
