U.S. Student Visa Freeze is Just Crazy!
A recent freeze on new US student visa interviews is raising concerns for Bahamian students hoping to begin their studies in America... but one international recruiter says there is no need to panic and explains what the policy really means for students in The Bahamas. Source
STOP WHINING ABOUT U.S. STUDENT VISA, and GO ELSEWHERE!
By Professor Gilbert Morris
Nassau, The Bahamas
China, Romania, Brazil, Denmark, Britain, Cuba all offer full scholarships for Bahamians.
Develop a tradition: do your first degree at UB…or UWI, then go far…New Zealand, Latvia, Switzerland…I’ve lectured in all those places and their schools are much better and more rigorous…plus you gain culture openness and sophistication!
We have failed to organise proper workshops and websites to inform our young people and too many of them like being spoon-fed.
Stop being lazy and indulgent!
Let the US do its thing:
There are brilliant universities in Dominican Republic (Escuela de Chavon is one).
I don’t want to hear about language barriers. Go to Japan (it’s on websites) teach English for a year. Make money and study Japanese, then do a degree.
You’re missing NOTHING by not going to the U.S.
Go to Mexico, or to South Africa, Ghana or Botswana.
Organise study groups and attend University of London online or MIT online!
Get it out of your heads that the U.S. is the world!
