Hi, I am new here. 
I studied American Degree Transfer Program(INTI) majoring in Actuarial Science for five semesters and I should be getting ready to complete my degree in America (University of Nebraska Lincoln) in this August. But Im worried that the expenses for the 2years program there will be a huge burden to my family.
Looks like for now, studying overseas and local doesn't really make a big differences. For example, decades ago, companies will likely prefer to hire someone with a degree from overseas. So..I am considering to continue my studies in Malaysia(UTAR/ UCSI). I actually prefer UKM but Im afraid I that couldnt reach their qualifications (STPM/Matriculation) to apply. Im kinda lost here.
I would like to ask opinions from all if I am on the right direction to give up on studying Actuarial Science abroad and to study at local universities such as UTAR?
Study overseas will be better for your communication skill. You will learn to speak out in proper English and learn a lot more regarding finance industry and insurance industry. Besides, education in US focus more on team works and discussion and not just anything from the textbook. I had one professor who will release exam question based on real world stock market situation. I think professor in Nebraska-Lincoln is rather good(my friend is studying over there while I'm in another University). You would be able to pass all your preliminary papers within 2 years of your education over there if you work hard. There will be distractions of travelling around the states and making new friends but try to balance it and you will succeed. =)I studied American Degree Transfer Program(INTI) majoring in Actuarial Science for five semesters and I should be getting ready to complete my degree in America (University of Nebraska Lincoln) in this August.
