Student Recruitment Agency – Study Abroad Through Eduloco

Posted on by Thalia Bondoc

Student Recruitment Agency - Study Abroad Through Eduloco

There are many ways to study abroad. 

You can apply personally, sign up through a university partnership overseas, or even better, go through a student recruitment agency. 

Along with the fun of studying abroad comes a huge commitment that many students overlook. While studying hard for a prestigious overseas degree, you’re also likely juggling multiple responsibilities at once, such as making the most of your time there, working part-time to fund your studies, and focusing on personal growth. 

There are several drawbacks of studying overseas that may add pressure for students who already have certain commitments in their hands. Here are some common challenges of studying abroad: 

Learning A New Language Is Challenging, But Not Impossible 

Learning a new language in your host country will feel different from doing so in your home country.

Studying abroad gives you the opportunity to practice the language as much as you can. However, the initial stage can still feel overwhelming when you’re surrounded by locals who don’t speak a familiar language. This is especially true when you’re facing an emergency and need help, but aren’t fluent enough to convey your message to others.

A good way to curb this problem is by learning basic and useful words and phrases in the language. For example, taking note of phrases related to directions and asking for help. 

Overspending Your Budget 

One common mistake students make while studying overseas is overspending. Your excitement of being in a beautiful country like the UK, coupled with the hefty currency exchange rate, may cause your wallet to go dry quickly if you’re not careful with how you spend. To prevent this, learn to budget your expenditure and only spend on necessities, saving your splurge for special occasions such as birthdays and the end of a semester. 

You can also consider taking on a side hustle to earn extra income. Not only does a part-time job fund your studies and expenditure, but learning to work as an adult while studying broadens your mind and experience. 

High Cost & Risk of Quitting Mid-Study 

Although studying abroad has plenty of benefits, it can be costly. The tuition fees are typically higher for international students. Besides, you may not receive the same student loans or scholarships as your local peers. This means forking out more money to sustain yourself in a foreign country. 

There are cases where students quit mid-study because they dislike the course they hastily chose. They end up returning to their home country to start a new degree, which leads to a waste of time and resources. This also causes you to fall behind your peers which may affect your performance academically and mentally in the long run.  

If you’re considering studying abroad, you should invest some time to research the courses that you’re interested in before deciding on a major. 

So, how to choose the right course and study overseas at a reasonable price? 

A Student Recruitment Agency Can Help! 

As a student recruitment agency based in Malaysia, Eduloco aims to provide a hassle-free process to study abroad for students. We believe that every student deserves an opportunity to study overseas, regardless of their identity and background.  

Free Professional Consultation 

Professional counsellors in our student recruitment agency are experienced and equipped with the current knowledge of the education system in different countries. We personalize every student’s consultation experience with us by offering an extensive variety of courses and scholarships.

Hassle-free Enrolment

By handing us sufficient and correct documents needed for your study abroad application, we will submit them to the university of your choice and make arrangements for your admission. Once you’re accepted, we even recommend safe and reliable accommodation to provide you with a comfortable and secure experience overseas. 

Pursue Your Dreams Overseas With Attractive Scholarships 

We wish for students to achieve their higher education dreams through Eduloco. Therefore, we don’t give up even if some students are rejected by their first choice. Alternatively, we research and recommend options at similar levels of their dream university.

Students applying through us receive exclusive scholarships from Eduloco’s international partnerships. This reduces stress in students who are required to achieve high grades to receive a scholarship from their desired schools.  

Now, why should you study abroad, and what are the benefits that come with it? 

It Adds Value To Your Resume 

Your study abroad experience adds flair to your resume which gives you a better job outlook. 

With an overseas experience, your CV may give the impression that you’re an adventurous individual open to different cultures and views. Studying in a foreign country may also mean that you’re proficient in a foreign language. A well-travelled person also appeals to employers as they appear to be more independent and confident.  

It Expands Your Social Circle 

Studying overseas means you’re meeting people from your host country and other international students. You can create social networks around the world which adds value to your social life. Moreover, you get to learn about cultures from around the globe from your international friendships.

It Challenges You To Leave Your Comfort Zone 

Many students face homesickness when studying abroad.  

This is a normal and understandable phase, as moving overseas compels you to rely on yourself for support. From adapting to a new environment to learning the directions in a foreign country, studying abroad also allows you to face any social anxieties you may have. You will emerge confident and self-reliant once you adjust to a new country! 

Experiencing student life overseas may help you discover another part of yourself. As a student recruitment agency that helps students study abroad, we encourage you to pursue your desire to study abroad instead of regretting it a few years later. Trust us, international education is surely worth your time, with great career opportunities waiting upon your return.  

Applying to college may be tedious without the help of a student recruitment agency. So, talk to our counsellors today and get your paperwork done quickly and efficiently!

Studying In The UK: Best Choice Made In My 20s

Posted on by Thalia Bondoc

Studying in The UK: Best Choice Made In my 20s

I had my whole life planned out. 

After completing high school, I would study for a degree in the United States. Then, I would find a job there, get a US citizenship, buy a quaint house, and settle down with a few furry cats. Coming from a 17-year-old who didn’t know the world better back then, the plan actually sounded easy.  

However, my perfect scheme to go to the US was thwarted when my father insisted that I study abroad in the UK instead.  

Why? Simply because there were relatives in the UK that could look after me. If there was a word to describe my father, it would be overprotective. In fact, the main reason why I wanted to study overseas was to spread my wings and explore the world on my own while being in the prime time of my twenties. So I tried convincing them to understand my reasons of studying abroad and to give their blessings. 

I noticed a stark difference between the American and British education system: UK degrees are priced comparatively lower, with more options to choose from. Besides, the study duration in the UK is also shorter than the US, which prompted me to change my mind. 

I Finally Chose UK

I looked up universities in the UK that offered the degree I wanted, which was Bachelor of Mass Communications. I found a few with decent accommodation and tuition fees, but one school in particular sealed my decision to study abroad in the UK: The University of Hertfordshire.

I fell in love with the university instantly. The school looked impressive, with a combination of classic, red-bricked buildings and innovative study centers made of concrete, steel and glass. It was as though I was going between two different eras!  

Besides, the university was located only 20 minutes away from the Warner Bros and Harry Potter Studios. The Potterhead in me couldn’t contain the excitement! The King’s Cross Station, London was only a 20-minute train ride away, which is quite convenient for an adventure seeker like me. 

After spending (way too much) time reading about fun things I could do there, I realised I had not devised a proper plan for my overseas journey. 

How Eduloco Helped Me Study In The UK

Eduloco was a life saviour. I panicked when I realised how unprepared I was to study abroad in the UK, but my cousin recommended Eduloco to me. It was a study abroad agency that offered consultation and application services for free. Hearing good reviews from my cousin, I decided to send them an email regarding my application to the University of Hertfordshire. 

I got a reply within an hour!  

As I already knew the destination, course, and university I wanted, the counsellor was able to quickly respond to my queries. We sorted out my documents for university and Visa application in no time, and the counsellor even sent me a list of safe and comfortable accommodations according to my budget! I chose to live in College Lane campus, where I had a room to myself with a shared kitchen. Truth be told, the entire process felt like I was talking to a reliable friend rather than an education consultant, which I was really thankful for.

How I Adjusted To UK Life

It was challenging at first. As I went there alone, I took some time to adjust to my new surroundings, which was daunting and exciting at the same time. I clicked with my American roommate instantly, and we spent most of our free time exploring town together, from visiting shopping centres to watching Ed Sheeran live at his concert. We’re still good friends to this day!

I’ve always heard about the gloomy weather of the UK. Now that I had experienced it myself, it was actually true! Not wanting the weather to obstruct my plans to see all of Hatfield and Hertfordshire, I visited places I could enjoy despite the rainy weather equipped with a hooded rain-resistant jacket. I saved so many umbrellas from their untimely demise this way.  

Train tickets were about £19 which was quite expensive, but with a membership card, I got my tickets starting from £12, depending on the destination.

The town was dotted with quaint coffee shops that made me forget the chilly weather, and I became a coffee addict from my frequent visits. No regrets, though! Summertime was my favourite weather with a perfect blend of cold and warm temperatures, and it reminded me so much of Malaysia. 

A Different Student Experience 

Group projects were big in my course. There was no thesis here, and the subjects were quite challenging. When it was time for projects, there’s no time for play! However time-consuming and tedious they may be, I still enjoyed the process and noticed myself improving in terms of self-discipline and time management. 

Life on campus was always interesting and entertaining. The school offered a generous amount of clubs and societies ranging from salsa dancing, baking, and even K-pop. I ironically joined the Malaysian Society, but after sharing my experiences with like-minded individuals from home, I gained a network of friends that made my stay in the UK much more worthwhile! I mentored junior Malaysian students to help them adapt to their new environment, which was rewarding and meaningful to me.  

Living In UK Taught Me To Spend Wisely 

Studying in UK was fun, but it wasn’t smooth-sailing all the time. I wasn’t half as prepared as I should have been. I jumped at the opportunity without thinking ahead which caused me difficulties to settle in, but my mistakes taught me how to become a better person. For instance, I spent a lot on train tickets and travel opportunities without considering the consequences of over-spending. I formed a plan to curb my over-spending tendency by limiting my travel plans to semester breaks, and I’ve been spending in a healthy way ever since.

I also bought groceries and necessities from the local stores and markets as they were typically cheaper than items from the mall. My monthly expenditure was about £200 to £300, but it all depends on each person’s spending habits. 

I suggest putting aside some money to fund goals that you want to achieve while studying abroad. It can be attending a concert or going on a European backpacking trip; it feels rewarding when you achieve it with the money you save. I saved enough to visit Ireland and to go on a graduation trip to Italy with my parents. They were the best trips of my life!

The Best Choice Of My Twenties 

When I chose to study abroad in the UK, I was only thinking of making the most of my twenties. I did not expect to change this much from my experience abroad — in a good way. I started as an immature high school graduate eager to see the world without a proper plan. After going through a life-changing overseas experience for three years, I’ve grown to be more self-reliant and confident in my choices. 

There will be differences in culture and funny moments to remember as you study abroad in the UK. They are part of your experience to adapt in a new country. Embrace them as you make new friends, travel, and experience a completely different environment. You will be surprised by what you’ll discover about yourself!

Eduloco: A Beacon of Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion in the Tech Sector

Tech companies must prioritize diversity, equality, and inclusion to fully realize the industry’s potential. Systemic biases have led to historic exclusion of underrepresented groups, creating a vicious cycle of limited opportunities. Actionable strategies are needed to promote diversity, equality, and inclusion beyond hiring, such as creating equitable opportunities for all. These measures don’t just benefit individual employees but the business as a whole.

Testimonials 

Wong Hui Fen, Bachelor of Hospitality Management 

I knew what I wanted to study, but I couldn’t choose a particular university. There were too many choices! My Form 6 senior recommended Eduloco to me, and I figured that I have nothing to lose.. since their services are free. I sent them an email and I actually got a reply in an hour! The counsellor was very friendly too. I’m very thankful that she was careful with my budget while recommending a university for me. I give Eduloco 5/5 for their excellent service! 

Iqbal Imrani, Bachelor of Communication (Marketing Communication) 

I want to study abroad to take the challenge of living in a foreign country alone. I chose Malaysia because it is more affordable than European countries, and it is closer to my home country, Indonesia. Eduloco really helped me a lot especially in applying and looking for accommodation for me. I studied at HELP University and I am very happy to have so many local friends here.  

Nathan Tan, Bachelor of Arts in English Language 

Eduloco helped me clear my doubts about getting an overseas degree locally. I wasn’t sure about the qualifications of an overseas degree if I fully studied for it in Malaysia, but an Eduloco counsellor assured me that I will still receive a high-quality certificate from the UK. Besides, it’s much cheaper if I complete my studies entirely in Malaysia. Now, I have a UK degree with a much affordable price!
