Studying abroad is often seen as the ultimate dream for Indian students. A global degree, better opportunities, and a higher standard of living. Every year, lakhs of students leave India chasing this vision. In fact, more than 9 lakh Indians went abroad for studies in 2023, showing how strong this aspiration is.
But behind this dream lies a reality that is far less glamorous. While social media shows perfect campuses and happy student life, many Indian students silently deal with financial stress, loneliness, uncertainty, and pressure every single day.
