Hi, I am new here. smile.gif

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?

In your situation, I think either you sacrifice (a lot of money plus less time)=ADT or (less money plus a lot of time)=UTAR/local...

Based on what you have said, I assume that you come from the middle class of family.. If I were you, I will choose to study in local.. and of course, local U grads is not as attractive as oversea U.. but most of the employers do not really care which uni that u studied at if you have passed all the soa papers (if cant, try all the prelims).. which will make a big difference for you..

Jom.. we study harder for those difficult exams..
