More and more students are finding themselves migrating from their home countries to various parts of the world in search of quality education and work opportunities. The Asian community is taking the world head first to prove the extremes of our intellect and capabilities. However, a big part of moving away from home is being able to find someplace that is accepting and open to being diverse, in an age where racism should be eradicated but really has just become more internalized.
Many countries have made an effort to be more diverse to international students and go as far to offer them a wide range of facilities that they may need. These include scholarships at some of the best universities in the world, funding from local sponsors, funding from the government, and sometimes even special work opportunity offers.
