2. Australia is a popular choice for students who wish to pursue higher education. The reason for this is that the country houses some of the most well-renowned institutions and universities in the world thus, offering a plethora of academic options for students to choose from. • Once a student has secured admission to an Australian institute of their choice, the next big step is to secure the funds required for overseas education. The cost of studying at an Australian university is comparatively more expensive than studying at an Indian university. Since you would not want to put the monetary burden on your parents, taking up an education loan for Australia is the best alternative.
