Hey guys. I am going to start my higher studies from the very beginning of the next month. The institute I am entering is one of the finest, but too costly. Since we cannot afford such high cost, we are opting for educational loan from bank. But from now itself I am kind of feeling pressure that I will have to be very good throughout my upcoming years to get a good placement. I am low on confidence right from the beginning. Adding to it is expectations from parents. How do you get out from this situation? My parents have done more then enough for me, I cannot blame them for anything. I do not know what is getting wrong. I request people who have been through such financial adverse situations like this to help me out. THANK YOU

hey gautam.Be confident.You said the institution is one of the finest one.So you will get good placement options.Only thing you have to do is improve your communication skills,do your project at best,learn at least two subjects deeply. No one will stop you from getting job.

Thanks for your support friend. And i could not get what you meant regarding communication skills. Are you specifically saying it for college and placement interview purposes, or you saw improper communication skills in me. Please elaborate. Would be of great help. And yes THANK YOU

I am saying about college and placement purpose only.Because most of the interviewers look for those skills.If you have them,they can train you with out any problems

You should be very thankful that your parents are working hard to make sure that you enroll in a good college. My advice to you is just try to work as hard as possible and get better grades. This is the only way that you can make your parents proud. You do not have to lose confidence because of financial problems. Infact, no one will know your problem especially since you will enrolling a good college.

I do not bother whether any one is aware of my problems or not. My college starts from 1st of next month, I just need to empty my mind before that. And you are very right. I will surely try my level best to get good grades and make my parents proud. It is equally successful for them to get me admitted into one of the best engg. colleges of our country. I just need to repay back their efforts by making them proud. Thanks a lot for your motivational words.

Be inspired dear friend. Not all parents can do what your parents are doing. They believe in you. They trust you. Take this as a chance to try you best. It's just that loaning from a bank is too much. Banks give high interest. There's a lot of cooperatives in my country that lends money at a very minimal interest (1-2%). I would opt for that. I don't know if it's applicable to your situation.
One more thing, if you love what you are taking in school and that with your parents' support-you should be lucky.
I always wanted to go to medical school but because there's many of us who are studying at he same time in college, I gave it up. My parents were ready to support me but I know what would be sacrificed. I don't want to sacrifice the simple comfort of my siblings so I gave up that dream.

It is very nice on your part and reflects your good nature. As far as I am concerned, I am enthusiastic about my subjects and my future. The only thing hindering is the passion. I am not able to feel the position I am in as much as I should have had. A bit low in confidence, feeling huge pressure, some personal issues are the things revolving in my head. It is something like, you feel everything is going wrong for you once something goes wrong.

Hi dear Gautam22,regarding to the financial problems,I think as a adult,we should not still ask for our parents for money.I think we can earn it by ourselves such as take more part time job and so on.And for the itution,I will we should discuss with institute and get more times.

I agree with your point for not asking for funds from our parents. Even I would try and reduce burden from my parents shoulder by not asking money for personal use and small purposes. I will surely try some part time earning jobs to manage my needs. But problem lies in the fact that I cannot put whole of my time doing these stuffs, I need to concentrate over my studies to produce results. Only that will ensure a better and tension free future of me and my family.
