I am currently 18 years old, residing in Cape Town, and seeking advice or insight regarding studying abroad. I am an international student in Cape Town, but my mother lacks the financial means to continue funding my tuition. Securing employment in Cape Town has proven challenging, and the jobs I’ve held thus far do not provide sufficient income to cover my tuition expenses. I am considering the possibility of moving to Europe to pursue my studies and potentially work to support myself, my mother, and my educational pursuits. I am committed to obtaining an education, particularly in Accounting or Economics, with the aim of improving my circumstances and that of my mother. While I understand that a degree does not guarantee success, I am determined to graduate and strive for a better future. However, I am uncertain about the workings of universities in Europe, and would greatly appreciate guidance and advice on this matter.
I do not come from a wealthy family that could secure admission to top colleges through financial means.
