Messy process of studying abroad
Hey everyone,
I’m currently a CS undergrad and I've started looking into master's programs and scholarships abroad for next year. Honestly, I feel like I'm losing my mind trying to keep everything organized.
Right now, my browser is a graveyard of 50+ open tabs, university portals, government scholarship sites, DAAD/Fulbright pages, you name it. The most frustrating part is spending two hours researching a program only to find a single line hidden in a PDF that says my specific degree or passport isn't eligible. Or finding out that a "fully funded" scholarship doesn't actually cover the insane cost of living in that specific city.
I’m curious, how are you guys actually keeping track of all these moving parts (deadlines, SOPs, hidden requirements, visas)?
Would love to hear what your system looks like, because right now, figuring out how to apply feels like an unpaid part-time job.
