Study in Australia - Give a Broad and Fresh Outlook to Life.

Getting education in a foreign country has multiple benefits. An experience of a distant land and exposure to a different culture enhances our knowledge and wisdom about the world, people and places. Studying in a foreign land means leaving the comfort of a familiar environment and facing new challenges which builds our resilience and makes us stronger for life and inculcates the habit of independent thinking. Australia is one of the leading destinations of international students for higher education. A beautiful country with an interesting mix of people, Australia is a magnet for international students, every year thousands of students from countries like China and India and European and Latin American countries leave their shores to study in Australia, to make a better career, to discover the world and discover their strengths and develop them for the life ahead.

The education system of Australia finds its roots in the British tradition of excellence. Australians honor good education and hence the Government gives priority to maintain highest standard among the Universities and the Institutions with a stringent accreditation system.

Ghana Life: More About The Slaves' Village

Visiting professors to the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, in the 1970s could spend a comfortable life on the campus amid modern surroundings and leave at the end of their contracts without ever being aware of the extreme poverty that existed a few hundred metres away across the Accra Road in the former slaves' village of Ayigya Zongo. A culture shock of substantial proportions awaited anyone compelled by duty or curiosity to roam beyond the lorry park at Ayigya Junction. Yet an even greater shock was felt by one expatriate professor whose effort to help the villagers was vigorously rejected.

From the lorry park ringed by petty traders' kiosks a narrow unpaved road led upwards through a no-man's land of houses with high-walled gardens suggesting an intermediate community intent on preserving maximum security. Only the dirt road with no pavements (sidewalks) and huge pot holes provided a clue to what lay ahead.

Getting Into Harvard

Harvard's history is well known. Named after wealthy English benefactor John Harvard, the institute was established in 1636. John Harvard's memorial was not restricted to just Harvard's campus though, infact the city of Cambridge is named so after his own schooling at the famous English university. Harvard didn't strive to just emulate, but to surpass the world's most revered universities.

Many foreign visitors mistakenly believe Harvard is based in Boston, but that's not quite true. Boston is but short journey away and is in itself a strong draw for students. Boston is famous for its sporting franchises, the base of the American revolution, the Tea Party movement and of course, that bar where everybody knows you name... Cheers.

Here's a sobering thought. For the class of 2016, just 6% of applicants who applied to Harvard earned acceptance. 

Getting Into MIT

Applying to MIT isn't like applying for other universities. MIT is a little bit special. To 'hack' the admission process, you're best served by doing your research and beginning your admissions journey early. In this brief article we'll look at the unique process of applying to MIT and how you can best approach these obstacles.

But first, a little background. MIT is based in Cambridge, MA, a stones throw from historic Boston. Many people confuse MIT as being an 'Ivy League' institute. The league is actually an athletic union featuring 8 leading universities. While MIT has a proud sporting tradition it is not a member of this union.

Famous alumni who have attended MIT include the architects of the modern world, in business, technology, politics and of course, architecture. Names you may recognize include Kofi Annan and Benjamin Netanyahu. Famous architect I.M. Pei has had a pronounced influence on not only the world, but buildings on MIT's campus.
