Staying in India vs Going Abroad

Got accepted to Cornell, UofT, etc. In India, similarly updated curriculums are in Masters Union, Scaler SST. Does it make sense not to go abroad?

Dude comparing Cornell with MU/Scaler. Just go and check the reviews of Scaler on web, you won’t even ask this question.

Apart from academics, exposing yourself to immigrant life will add huge long term benefits to your personality.

I get what you meant. International exposure is worth it; however, it's no magic potion. Furthermore, the primary thing is ROI; idk if it'll be worth spending 300k (in exchange for a salary of 80k before taxes). There's a chance that I may not graduate debt free.

Interesting viewpoint, at the cost of sounding “privileged”, I would say putting RoI in this will ruin everything.

Going for UG btw, shit’s gonna cost $360k (nearly 3cr.)

Having an Ivy League undergraduate education is arguably as prestigious as it gets. I say go for it if you can can comfortably afford it.

if you want to live abroad then it makes sense. otherwise it does not . simple. In terms of ROI , exposure, career etc there are pros and cons and cannot be generalized.
