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

First of all, thank you everyone for keeping this rhetoric thread alive.

@sanju baba: Yea true that. But as long as the mentality is same, i don't think time will not help us.

@trust143_raj: Thanks for shedding some knowledge. To tell ya the truth, i had an indian roommate before i was in school. So as per him, it's not the government, it's the bank that gives you loan for 5/6 lakhs which is ofcourse not enough without any asset on hold. However, if you need more, you gonna put your house/land on hold as an asset then get loans. Also i had a friend who took loan of 20 lakhs with his house hold as an asset to complete his further studies in Nabil bank so it's not doable as well.

@magorkhei: It's for the students like us who come here to complete undergraduate/masters not study abroad students. Study abroad program is a short program that you study english language for 2/3 semesters. Now let's not talk about government. We all know how corrupt and disorganized our government is, but if you look at the land, you can see many lakhpati in Nepal.

@gotexasgo: Ditto all your opinions, dude. I've been thinking about his my whole college life and now professional life. We tend to work hard on labor jobs and less time on studies and hence get lower grade and struggle to find jobs. However indians, chinese and malaysian students tend to spend more time on studies than work and hence get good grades and get better jobs than us.

Another good point you brought here is "OBJECTIVE". Yes many of the nepalese only objective is to enter U.S. They hardly care about studies and more on Finance. Then after eventually getting settled down, they think about education. So yes, new international students of Nepal needs to be educated.

I also agree with you that we need to tell all the students in Nepal that the grass is always greener on the other side. If you have enough  money to support yourself then only you can finish your studies. We need to educate them that life in U.S is very different than we see in movies. It's OK to take loan and finish your college sooner and get handsome jobs where you can pay all your loan in 1 year instead of spending 2 years in community college.

Now as the US economy has gone to drain, more strict immigration rules and regulations will be applied due to which international students might not be able to work on campus/off campus in future.

Anyways, thank everyone for your good thoughts and analysis. Keep it coming.

Peace
