One can rent a place for like 150 euros a month and get by with 250 euros a month. If one works part time, things get even better.

Now unless one's household income is less than RM1.5k a month, studying overseas can be a possibility. If a household earns less than that, even studying in Malaysia will be a problem.

The point here is that for the middle class, it is possible to go to France and Germany to study. There is no real need for government sponsorship. If one speaks french or german fluently, which one will after 5 years of studies, one won't want to go home since one will be so marketable.

Imagine this, one is from an average background. Speaks 3 languages + german or french, is flexible and opened, gets a government scholarship to germany. End of the studies, totally fluent in german and excelled in the degree. Now, if one was sponsored one will have to go home and deal with malaysian bureaucracy or one could easily find something in Germany or Switzerland. If one is really underprivileged then too bad but if one can pull it off by oneself, why not?
I know we can work during the holidays, but on normal days wouldnt it affects our studies? And the living expenses are not cheap.

Day by day, the members of this forum are getting more and more inactive... Is it a routine that the activity of this forum peaks during JPA interviews and slowly fades away after that??

Read the figures instead of complaining.

i would choose to believe 1-1.5k as well.. 800 would be too hard to swallow.. its too big a drop from 1.5 to 800 raaawwrrr~~
