The idea of studying overseas is exciting and overwhelming. Many Kenyan students would jump at the slightest opportunity that would enable him or her to study in Canada, Australia, United states of America or any other universities based overseas.
Why are Kenyans obsessed with studying overseas?
Is it because our local universities churn out half-baked graduates? Are international universities offering more quality education that our local universities? Or it is the glamour and prestige associated with staying in developed states that drive many students to frantically apply for scholarships to study overseas?
Granted our local universities are not fully equipped with learning resources, but before you take that flight to study abroad, have you done some background check on the institution?
Some students have been lured with non-existence scholarships. To avoid falling victim, visit credited overseas advisory centres for consultations.
