I'm sure you could find a suitable program of study in Turkey. The best you could do is to contact the Tri Star office in Karachi/Lahore- they are the official representatives of Turkish Universities. Read More

I see. The uni Im applying (Bilgi) doesn't allow foreign students to do on-campus jobs. Maybe I should look for freelance jobs like online writing. Please, could you tell me the living expenses for student in Istanbul. I mean there are so many ... Read More

Should I go Bachelors in Business or International Relations? by SeenSheen
I have been studying business and economics since school, and could go pretty well along. Not my first love, but neither I abhor it. However, I have always been more interested in current affairs, reading all the newspapers, world history, world ...
Well, I'm not really sure if IR is particularly a good choice in context of Pakistan. Yea, there are some 9, 10 top current-affair analysts, who must be earning great, but that doesn't guarantee everyone a successful career. Does anyone here know ... Read More

That really sounds like a very well worked-out plan. I'm not haunted by Law at all, so the combination of these two is really feasible. Thanks Read More

But it does help in many other ways- like investment, foreigners coming for jobs etc. which might eventually help that particular village in a much finer way. Read More

Well, that's highly arguable. One of the biggest economic boosts Pakistan currently receives is through the remittances sent back to Pakistan. Plus, in many countries, Pakistan is misrepresented by illiterate labour class which was not privileged to ... Read More

Haha, this definitely doesn't sound appropriate, but so be it- I can't change my identity. But who knows, a PR permit in Germany later on, could help a little. Anyways, I do not wish my salary to be on 'Western Standards', never ever I dream big ... Read More
