Why we tend to overburden ourselves for education instead of taking student loan from Nepal like Indians?

hey man even it is a friday, I am an international student and this is a true article based upon us (students). I am heading to a club in a hollywood after couple of hours as it is a friday but I can't skip adding some reality in your thread as this was the question every time I ask to my self.
My worse time of my life, 2008 and 2009 where I was in University after i transferred from Community College. It is a quarter system and damn, Fall quarter, follwed by 3 weks break and winter quarter and a week break and the spring quarter; 3 quarter in a row and every quarter cost me like atleast 6000$.
For fall, I used to have some saved money from Summer, and I wouldn't have money for winter and spring. Whole fall quarter, my mind used to be focused on how I am gonna have the money for winter rather than concentrating on school.

I try to get help from my frens to pay the fee, but you know how hard is to borrow money, some of them helped me some didn't.
I wouldn't have money and I used to tell my self; f**K! my parents has a land in Pokhara, if you selll it, it is worth of couple of crore but am freaking tensed that i am not having 4 lakh to pay my college. This is the time I need money, once I start making money, why the hell do I need that money for???? If i can't complete my school, I don't think I would enjoy my life since I would always regret my self as a failer, failer just not because I couldn't pass my classes but becuase of financially. But, I tried my best till the time I can manage money but after alll I did ask my parents to send me the money every Spring qurter for 3 years. I am from a middle class family.

Look today I graduated, I mean last year. As soon as I graduated, I got a job that paid me 20$. I had 9-5 job and I could have still worked on weekends and make extra 1000$ but I didn't wanna. I still have those debts somewhere around 11 lakh, but I can't  pay that money to my parents. If I think, I gotta work some extra hours to recover that money, then my life is gone. we can alwasy make money tomorrow but we have lost many years working and schooling and I can't afford any more not going to party and enjoy the life like my homie does in backhome.  I am going back to Master coming spring, but still I am just cool with this job and enjoying the weekends. last 6-7 years, I never got a chance to enjoy the weekeds as i used to work on weekends and school on weekdays.

It is my personal thing that i added. Mero bichar ma, milcha vane, ghar pariwar bata sakincha vane, gahr bata paisa ni magnu parcha. Ma darayera namageko vaye, ma aaja graduate hunthina, first time pasia magna gahro vayera, maile mero aama lai america bolayeko thiye. imagine how hard it is. I could ask money over the fone.
To the last, sayad aaja bata maile F1 status chade jasati lagcha. I field my h1 today and thank to the guy who brought this thread and I got an opportunity to share my story.
Alright guys, It is a party time.
