Plus with the recession Universities are hard hit and arent offering as many scholarships as they used to but that doesnt mean that people shouldnt try of course. The only bad thing is that coming abroad is very very expensive and people pump their savings into it kabisa. So there are few people who come here, pay for school and still manage to have a few thousand dollars lying in their bank accounts unless they are from rich families. But I do advise that people should have enough in the bank to at least buy a ticket home because you never know how bad it can get out here. But I do agree that it is very necessary to have someone there to help you navigate through bureaucracy and how to do things right. But on thing I will agree with kabisa is that either come with a work visa or a student visa if you want to stay, a visitor's visa isn't worth ish nowadays for anything other than visiting.
