Anyone here studied or studying in overseas now such as America, Australia, UK,Canada or anywhere around the globe?
Mind sharing your experience with us? as in how are the people over there? their lifestyle? how are they treating you? are there any racists? do you have alot of friends? are most of your friends your race(chinese,malays,indians) instead of white people and black people? are you happy with your decision to study overseas? do you regret for not staying back in Malaysia to continue your studies? do you get homesick every now and then? what's the difference between studying in overseas and studying locally?

List out what course, what college, which state, which country that your studying or had studied in and share your experience with everyone.

my answered simplied.

studied, UK.

ppl over here? good, friendly, generally way well mannered compared to msia, good customer service, smile, 'cheers, thanks, please, excuse me, pardon me, sorry' are words you wont miss in everyday life.

their lifestyle? some eat in really healthy way, some are drunk 4/7 days, lazy yet efficient and punctual and will not overdo. my lifestyle? healthy yet boring.

treating me so good so far. have met few addicts too, treating me like god since i have to give them drug.

racist? wherever you go, there is. but why should i care, not that i am affected anyway.

friends? plenty, same race but also whites (coursemate, housemate, collegua, random friends' friends)

yes i do. learned plenty of stuff, experienced plenty of stuff that you will never get in local environment.

regret? no, not at all.

homesick? no, except for food.

difference is huge in term of development of soft skills e.g. critical thinking, communication skills, personal skills etc etc besides the way the education is delivered if compare to msia.

yes like said by azarimy, visit those thread e.g studying in aust, studying in UK, studying in US, and you will get the ideas of studying overseas if compare to msia.
