Talking about Australia.

Yeah, I was surprised with how much the education cost was, but it seems to high mostly for foreigners so that’s understandable. But it’s still cheaper than US tuition cost.

From my superficial research going there on work/study visa seems easier. Then you can decide whether to return or not later based on how things go. What do you think is the benefit of applying for permanent residency from the beginning? That seems a bit risky for me without knowing the culture and other aspects of living there.
