<p>Please give me your verdicts. And Help me decide</p>
<p>you might as well stay in india as you listed more cons for moving than you have for staying at your home place lol. Don’t go somewhere just to earn better pay. That is a nonsensical way of measuring your future, and it brings extreme stereotype to states lol when you are just here for the money. Clearly think through your circumstances, as your degree, path, and goals all mould your unique situation.</p>
<p>Thank you very much for helping me. But please note that its not only about money. Its about perspective of life and quality of lifestyle.</p>
<p>My recommendation: Stay in India, and then apply to Grad programs at the top schools in the U.S. Going to a mid-tier state school in the U.S. will not help you in getting into Graduate school, any more than an average foreign UG degree would.</p>
<p>Honestly, there are tons of foreign graduates at Stanford earning their MS’s. Just visit once, and you’ll see plenty. Getting a foreign undergraduate degree will not hurt you at all in Grad school admissions, especially if it’s supplemented with a year or two of work experience, trust me.</p>
<p>You might as well save your money for when it really counts, and enjoy your undergraduate experience in the process, considering that you’d be more comfortable closer to your home.</p>
<p>Thank you from the deepest end of my heart. You have opened my eyes. Thank you once again.</p>
<p>Many grads at a state uni near me are usually foreign students. They come from all array of sides and it really comes down to describing the grad environment diverse, and here we are talking about a public institution. State schools are notorious for having a low admit rate for out of state students (ie internationals); however, it’s surprising that the campuses for some state schools are swarmed by an international community. I know that for most part undergrad is quite costly. You should follow Dreams’s advice if you really wish to come here. Who knows, you may even gain wiser advices over the four years of undergrad at India. This could potentially get you ready for partial or even full scholarship for grad school.</p>

<p>No problem. 
Have a great college experience!</p>
<p>@Liveulife Thanks a lot</p>
<p>no prob, I would rather want you coming here with some scholarship, than struggling to make a living. Seen plenty, and it’s quite tough since their studies get even tougher as they zoom past their junior year. :)</p>
