  Just to remind u all......those who are intending to study overseas and going thru agencies.

  Do yr homework carefully regarding finances and the destination country

  I have come across many ppl saying agents misleading them on cost of living and such stuff. a fren of mine actually said his agent told him that part time jobs are easy to find and its ok  to leave with insuffiecient funds.

   

  Be careful of such  tactics. Usually agencies whch belong to this calibre will not have any seminars or counselling and they wil try to sell u the course

  Before you go there you should have research enough... like a average meal there would cost how much... ask those who went there before...

  Regards to part time, it would depend on how lucky the person is.

  Whereas for insufficient funds... who would leave the country to live in another if he think he still have not enough funds?
