To be a student from other nations at one of prestigious universities--Cambridge, Oxford, London and so forth--in the Britain is not easy. Many investments such as time and money have to be deposited, especially a personal freedom has to be totally abandoned in a period of the term in a university. Nothing but study. It might be a bit sweeping statement to claim "Nothing" but for an inttellectually poor student like me it is a fact. Most of my time, personal freedom, money alike are invested in/on the study.
Students from other countries such as Myanmar, Thai, Taiwan, China, Japan, Korea, France, Italy, Chili and so on come into the UK to study for variety of purposes just as to improve a language skill, to have an international experience, to achieve an academic qualification and the like. However, as the Nature does not allow a person to gain something free, a due attempt has to be made. Sometimes such a thought whether study abroad is worthy of such a great deal of investment might occur to a person. It should be understood that knowledge is unique and invaluable. To gain it, whatever valuable material belongs are to abandon deserves.
As one of sayings goes "A golden pot of knowledge cannot be stolen", a person's knowledge by no means can be taken away by others though it can be shared with. As a matter of fact, it deserves to deposit, to invest anything in the achievement of knowledge. A truly useful and helpful wisdom is not gained by/through cheap sacrifices. For example, a banker Sumedha, the-Buddha-to-be, left everything belonged to him for the sake of the knowledge and renounced even the world and so did the Prince Siddhattha. The ideals of them vividly reveal how powerful the knowledge is. When it is obtained, money, time, personal freedom and the like are automatically subordinate to it.
So, we are students. For us, what is the most important? And what is our main purpose? Money? Time? Personal freedom? Or knowledge? What would you choose? It's up to you. But be careful. Choose one and leave the rest.
