Not getting accepted into your dream university is indeed sad but getting too many options might also be one of the challenge students have to face. In fact, the majority of students every year apply to at least 7 universities to make sure they will have a secure place for higher education. Sometimes, students don’t spend time listing them based on their preferences and priorities, making it hard to decide. This article is going to show you a few things you could do to clear up your mind and make right decisions!
Number 1: Spend time looking at your program
I know the ranking of your university might be the top matters for you. However, paying attention to the subjects you will learn, the major you can pick later, your career prospects should be your second priority. After all, it’s not always the ranking but what you are going to achieve after finishing this degree.
Number 2: The school activity
Who doesn’t have hobbies and want to spend time with friends? Regional clubs, school associations, monthly activities for students are what you can research on to make the choice. Not every universities has the same association, and perhaps you still want to continue your high school journey of participating in horse riding or archery. Sound exciting yet?
Number 3: The city
Making sure you will love the city as you are going to live there, for a while. Find out what it has or what you can do in your free time. Also, check out the weather and temperature during the year if you have your preferences or any health issue.
Numbe 4: You Parent Budget
It’s your dream and your choice. But if you’re relying on your parent financial help, you should be more reasonable. Provide the list of your universities full of information to your parents so they can suggest you with their lifelong advice and support you.
Number 5: The Drawbacks
We love that honeymoon phase when we just got accepted. Keep it mind that everything has it drawbacks. It’s not like we focus on the negative sides. However, having a look at that would benefit us from difficulties we might suffer from in the future. Can you think of any?
The introduction to this blog holds a piece of great news and a sad truth for international students coming to France. Public universities all over France are free, no matter your citizenship and background. Getting accepted means you are not expected to pay $50000 tuition fees per year like in the US. Though, minor fees have to be spent like visa applications, language testing, 175$ students fee, etc are unavoidable. However, that’s to be said for the public university. How about private schools? Sadly, private schools normally wouldn’t give away many scholarships, even none. Now, we are going to discuss what is available and should be realistic and achievable.
Early Birds Scholarship
Unlike master’s degrees, which provide multiple scholarships even in private business schools, bachelor’s are different. We have limited support and more competitive environments. If you make up your minds early and jump into your higher education sooner than the other, you will have a chance to receive an Early Birds Scholarship. So what is this? Applying earlier than the other students means if accepted, you will get into the school earlier than them. After that, most schools provide you tuition fees discounts for trusting their institution. Rely on this one since it’s only for the first year of your education.
2. Your government educational scholarship
One of my good friends that I met in France, unexpectedly is doing her study under her government support. Coming from Malaysia, she has. great background with a high GPA, great spirit, and attitude. Talking to her, I get to know that her government provides a program for excellent students to study abroad and then come back and work for their country. Even if it might narrow your future choice, you still have a fund and years to study without worrying about financial issues.
3. CAF
The French Government supports students living away from parents with money allowance, aiming to reduce their rent. You can look for it on the website. Type your postal code and start applying right after you move in to receive it the earliest! The link for it: https://www.caf.fr
As a student, we are young and wild, we love to spend a lot of money, perhaps on ourselves, such as clothes, cosmetics or maybe on our social life. A happy drink at 10pm Friday night or Lady Night every Wednesday still costs a lot. Though we are now, officially a grownup, it would be awkward to always ask our parents for some allowances. This is why, part-time jobs will be the solution, the great deal for our bachelors!
Firstly, understanding rules is a must. For an international student in France, you can work up to 20 hours a week. The given number was calculated based on many factors and is recommended for your study life. You must remember that fun will pass away, but our future relies on how we manage our time. Secondly, finding part-time jobs is actually, not a hard task at all. There’re so many options for you, from being a babysitter to a waiter/waitress. It depends on your preferences and schedules. You just need to make sure that your shift will not affect your classes and your revision time. Thirdly, if this is the first time you have ever worked, you don’t know how and where to start, let’s just go on Facebook. For example, there are groups for people living in the same city as you asking questions about their own individual problems, and you can post your request of wanting a part-time job too. I highly recommend you to ask around, from your classmates to your roommates, perhaps they also work and their places are hiring.
In conclusion, spending your free time working while studying is intense. In fact, the goal of making money to spend time having would not be the same anymore, since you are filled with shifts anyway. How about we just manage our sources and spend them wisely? What do you think?
There are three common accommodation choices for students in France, namely the independent studio, the shared apartment, the homestay, and the student dorm building.
The independent studio: You will have everything that only belongs to you, including freedom, and attached with that would be the same amount of responsibility. It would be the top choice if you are used to living in France and are financially stable. Trust me, no one wants to suffer from new difficulties alone. Though, as an introvert, I love the idea of moving to a studio after year 1, comfort and alone time are coming.
The shared apartment: Having friends that could be your supporters is the highlight of this type of accommodation. Besides some minor conflicts during the stay, my experience was amazing. First of all, it was cheaper than the other options. Second, living with other students gives me an opportunity to expand my social network. Third, you have your alone time, but if you want, you will always have someone to hang out with.
The homestay: Getting deeper into the culture. Well, this experience would be a life changer as it’s not the same compared to the rest of the options. You will get to improve your French much faster since you live with a French family and participate in the french culture every day. Perfect if you’re an extrovert and want to experience new things.
STEP 2: Searching for your dream home
Multiple websites are available. However, I recommend Studapart for 5 reasons:
Easy to use and search for what you want
Safe for International students (The apartment are checked before being advertised)
Secure payment
Helpful owner and customer supports
Commonly use all over the EU
STEP 3: Make sure everything is on the track
Please start to find your apartment at least 1 month before the day of your Visa Application since you will need proof of your stay for it. Also, carefully check your rental contract because once you signed it, you can’t change the rules anymore. Finally, don’t hesitate and feel free to ask any questions!
Studying abroad is always a great dream. It’s great since it will give you opportunities to grow and focus on self-development. At the same time, there would be, of course, many challenges, but one of the major ones is related to finances. The first step in how research for university abroad is to decide on a country that you desire to do it. It’s not like you can not research many countries, but you have to expect that every country’s educational systems are different, which makes it hard for you to focus on your goal. Then, the question is, what do you want to study? It won’t be a tough question if you already figured it out during your earlier year in high school. Though, I know it’s not the same for many students. I suggest you do some career tests to understand some options that might fit your personality, characteristics, and values.
STEP 2: Ranking Websites
After deciding on where and what to study, an easy following step is to look for a university ranking. It provides you with a list of universities in a city, a state, a country, or like me, around the EU. Well, the basic keyword I used to look for on Google is “Top business schools in the EU”. Sometimes, I would want some more analytical results, which could change into “Business Schools Ranking France”.
STEP 3: Pick some of your favorites
University is competitive. No one could be 100% confident that they will get accepted. However, the Application fee is also not little. I recommend each student apply to around seven universities. It could be different compared to the US, perhaps not enough, but normally seven is a decent number.
STEP 4: Put them into a list
Now, it’s time to practice your MS skills. Please create a list of your university options, including:
The tuition fees of your degree
Advantages and Disadvantages
The Major available
Some notes and feedback
This will help you to easily look back on your research and follow the process of each application. I believe it would be beneficial to your parents too, as it shows them how independent you are with your future and give them enough information to trust you with your choice.
Bewildering as it sounds, though called a shrine, there is not deity, ancestor, or daemon present here. This shrine is a temple of God and a milieu to be able to communicate personally and in quiet with the maker. The Holy shrine, fondly called the Our Lady of Grace shrine is located at the outskirts of Buea beside the St. Joseph’s College Sasse.
It has an amazing scenery as it is located where a strange water fall flows continuously and voluminously. It is located near a waterfall that the Sasse region’s longtime ruler voluntarily offered to the Catholic Church. Astonishingly, even locals and people who have lived in the arena for more than ten years are unaware of the origin of the waterfall.
The Sasse Shrine contains a chapel for devotions and prayers, a small auditorium that can accommodate approximately 100 people, and a store selling religious items like rosaries, Bibles, crosses and a host of church affiliated items. At the shrine, people host retreats, prayer cell and prayer group meetings, Bible studies and a good number of people carry water from the fall since it has been blessed and sanctified after it’s inauguration in September 2011 by an ordained Catholic Priest.
Though a Catholic shrine, the our Lady of Grace Shrine opens its arms to people from denominations as the common goal remains serving the author and finisher of our faith.

Often times, the omelet may have vegetables like cabbage, carrot, onion, or tomato mixed into the egg. And finally, there’s the chapati, which mustn’t be cooked too thoroughly so that it remains soft enough to be rolled up without cracking. These Rolex stalls are popular amongst local areas for easy access, it might also be in the cafeteria of the hotel or lodge you will be staying.
