Sirus,
I was also thinking the same and i agree with you. There are parents who are more than willing to invest 30 lakhs for their child to study in a medical school in Nepal but are quite hesitant to invest the same for another degree to study in America. I have also seen many Indians, Taiwanese who study in loan.
A lot of us tend to follow what others have done. If we hear about one person paying his tuition by working super hard all summer, we tend to think that thats how it is supposed to be done. A lot of us just follow the crowd and not try to think differently. My parents and relatives praised those who were able to finance themselves in America and didnt have to ask their parents for money. They made it sound so heroic that i feel so guilty asking my parents for money although i know its not gonna hurt them much financially. Its the mentality of our parents and ourselves.
