I wanted to describe an occasion when I asked someone for advice approximately one year ago. I decided to study my education at the University of America and also universities in England. For this reason, I searched many websites to get detailed information about facilities and the sector because I wanted to study for my master’s degree in computer engineering or software engineering. I wanted to find detailed information about the schedules of these universities and their tuition fees. However, I didn’t find complete information about all my questions. During this period, my sister suggested I find company that said students to foreign universities for study. I found one of them and met with the advisor there. I asked all my questions and received complete information about everything. He also advised me on which university would be best for my budget and my education. I understood all perspectives of studying at foreign university. I can’t say it was the best advice of my life because it was a big decision like studying abroad. For this reason, I can say it’s the first time I asked someone for advice and it was beneficial for me. Thank you.
