“No Seriousness Towards Future” Dubai Entrepreneur’s Suggestion For Indian Students Sparks Debate

Going to a foreign university is like stepping into another universe. We yearn for a familiar face to have a sense of familiarity. However, many might disagree and feel like it will just make them slack more rather than thrive. Dubai entrepreneur, Shreya Pattar shared her opinion on this topic and has suggestions for Indian students; while several people agreed with her, others did not so much.

Dubai Entrepreneur, Shreya Pattar Suggests Finding Universities With Fewer Indian Students

Any Indian student planning to move abroad for higher education should check how many Indian students that university has. The more the number of Indian students, the lower that university should be on your list of places to join.

A big Indian community of students doesn’t come…

Dubai influencer and entrepreneur, Shreya Pattar shared her opinion about finding universities for Indian students. According to her X (formerly, Twitter) post, her first suggestion was to check how many Indian students are there in the university. If there are too many Indian students, you should keep the university at the bottom of your list. But what is the reason for this?

Well, according to her, a big Indian community comes with certain toxic patterns. Some of them are no good role models, “group-ism”, lack of professionalism and too much drama. Apart from this, she suggested staying away from the mindset and attitude while you are away from the country. 

Here’s What Netizens Have To Say

I can not agree more with you. In 2011 I went to Australia to work in a hospital and there the most toxic people and most envious towards Indians were Indians only. It was a shock for me once I reach there and till the time I left Australia I could not come to terms with it.

After the post was online, there were different views and opinions about the influencer’s theory. A user agreed with her view and shared his experience of working in a hospital in Australia. He stated that Indians were the ones with toxic and envious attitudes towards other Indians.

On point. What’s the point of going abroad if you only hang out with your own people.

Another user also agreed and retorted that what is the point in moving abroad if you want to stay with your people. However, a few disagreed; a user stated a community of Indian students can provide support and familiarity in a new country. And it is about finding the right balance between comfort and exposure. 

I respectfully disagree. Having a community of Indian students can provide a sense of familiarity and support, especially in a new country. It’s about finding the right balance between comfort and exposure to diverse perspectives.
