Chapter 213 Study Abroad
After discussing it with her older sister, Xiao Meng took the initiative to seek help from a lawyer and get a reliable study abroad planning agency to help plan her path to obtaining a degree.
Although Attorney Lang made it sound simple, after communicating with the study abroad agency, Xiaomeng discovered that it was not so simple after all.
The first step is choosing a country to study in. The agency manager recommended the UK, mainly because the UK offers exceptionally good services to the wealthy. If you pay enough tuition, you can even become classmates with British princes and princesses and live in the dormitories once occupied by the King. Therefore, many children of wealthy families in China are sent to the UK for their studies.
For this reason, tuition fees in the UK are relatively high.
Xiaomeng doesn't care about the tuition fees for studying abroad; what she cares about most is the safety of the local social environment.
Around this time, she happened to see some news from the UK on her phone, where anti-China sentiment was quite high. She worried that if she encountered danger while reading it and her personal safety was compromised, it would be a huge loss. Therefore, she immediately ruled out the UK.
Attorney Lang shared the same opinion as Xiao Meng, believing that safety was paramount and that the UK was undesirable.
The agent then recommended the US, saying that US degrees are more easily recognized and that many people apply to schools there. Xiaomeng and her older sister both refused.
Speaking of which, there has been quite a bit of negative news from the United States in recent years. Not only are there frequent school shootings, but drug use is also very common. This makes ordinary Chinese people like Xiaomeng and Cuiling very worried about their personal safety.
Both popular study abroad destinations have been ruled out. That leaves them with only one option: a Western European country.
Attorney Lang first helped them rule out Hanskov University, because Hanskov University is notoriously difficult to graduate from, and he himself had studied there, so he knew this all too well.
After considering the map, Attorney Lang suggested that they choose Windmill Country, because universities there generally have more classes and less vacation time, the teaching is more responsible and less superficial, and the difficulty of graduation is less than in Hans Country. Therefore, Attorney Lang wanted Cuiling to study a business major in Windmill Country.
After he said that, Xiaomeng and Cuiling thought it was a good idea, and then they started to choose from the list of schools in Windmill Kingdom that the agent had brought out.
After matching Cui Ling's existing conditions, they chose a long-established national business school.
Once the school was chosen, the conditions for graduation began to be met. Currently, Cuiling only has a vocational high school diploma.
Next, she needs to take the IELTS exam and get a score of 6 or higher. Then, she needs to take her graduation certificate and IELTS score to the schools she applied to for English written tests and interviews, as well as a professional knowledge test.
After passing all the exams, she can enroll in undergraduate studies. After one or two years of undergraduate study, she can obtain her graduation certificate and degree certificate. Then she can continue with a master's degree, which takes anywhere from three to five years, after which Cuiling will obtain her master's degree.
Although Cuiling was a little apprehensive, Xiaomeng and Attorney Lang were both action-oriented and immediately arranged for her to have a one-on-one IELTS tutor.
I attend 4 hours of IELTS tutoring classes every day, followed by 4 hours of business fundamentals courses.
To make learning easier for her older sister, Xiaomeng also gave Cuiling pills that she had redeemed in the points mall, pills that could improve comprehension and enhance memory.
This made Cuiling's learning process seem like she had a cheat code; she could completely remember a lesson that the teacher had taught once, or a book that she had read once.
A little over a month later, after completing the IELTS preparation course, Cuiling tried taking the test and scored 6.5 points.
This greatly excited Xiaomeng and Attorney Lang, who immediately began preparing her for the entrance exam.
Xiaomeng mainly paid for it, and Attorney Lang was responsible for arranging the teachers.
