Are my parents supportive of my plan to study in Europe instead of Australia?
It depends - I don't have information about your parents' views.
Parental support often depends on factors like affordability, safety, program quality, and career prospects. Studying in Europe is generally more affordable than Australia, with countries like Germany offering low or no tuition fees and lower living costs. Many European countries also offer post-study work visa (PSW) options, which can be attractive for career planning.
If your parents have concerns, discussing your reasons for choosing Europe, providing a clear budget, and sharing information about support services and safety can help address their questions.
