You should be there

I always had no idea that why people go abroad for education. Isn't it possible to learn everything online? However, now I know that it is impossible to learn everything from online courses. Classes are not really important, but the experience is great.

Private talks
A few days ago, we had a talk from someone who came to our school from IBM. He discussed about the future trends of the IT market that they evaluate through their research centers all around the world. I learnt many things from him. The fact is his talk was private, and he said that distribution of the presentation to the public is prohibited. I have participated in several talks like that so far.

Top professors
I had courses with several top professors in these two semesters. When they were talking about their experiences, I was sure that no one else in the world has such an experience similar to him! As a result, I learnt their area very well.

Life experience
Things that I experienced during these months that I was here were amazing. I experienced lots of new cultures, and environments. This helps me to have a better understanding from the world and its rules.

Life opportunities
Lots of opportunities are available here in the US. I can work in some areas that no other country has its knowledge and technology. It would be such a great experience for me if I use it.

I just think that I was wrong about online learning for international students.
