When you think about studying abroad, the first thing that might come to mind is freedom. The idea of doing it all on your own, no agent, no extra steps, just you, your dreams, and Google. But here’s what they don’t often tell you: doing your study abroad process alone can be more overwhelming than empowering.
Many students are hesitant to seek help from a study abroad agency because of the fear of getting scammed or being charged expensive fees. This concern is valid, especially in the Philippines, where scams are unfortunately common. But let’s talk about what really happens when you try to manage the entire education abroad journey by yourself.
THE TRUTH ABOUT GOING SOLO
Applying for education abroad requires more than just filling out forms and writing a few emails. It involves detailed research, organizing documents, understanding visa requirements, and staying on top of timelines. Without proper guidance, it’s easy to get lost in the process or worse, miss important steps.
Most students who apply on their own end up feeling overwhelmed. They overthink each step, doubt their qualifications, and spend hours searching for answers online. This can lead to delays in submitting applications, errors in documentation, and missed opportunities from schools that require specific or time-sensitive requirements.
While it’s possible to do it alone, the question is: do you really have to?
