Moving to Chile for higher education has recently become a matter of craze for many Asian students. But the reasons to take such a big decision should be clarified. Before finalising the future plan of settling down in Chile, prospective students should consider the possible advantages and disadvantages. Let me concentrate on both the factors.
Advantages of Higher study in Chile:
1. Chilean education is highly prestigious. Chilean universities are reputed worldwide. Many Chilean universities have bilateral program with other US and European universities. There are lots of universities with hundreds of courses. So, a foreign student may find his desirable course.
2. All campuses are free of political chaos and so-called terrorism. You will never find any organised fighting group in Chilean universities. Crime is very rare in universities.
3. There are many medical universities in Chile. The admission process of such universities is not so tough.
4. There are plenty of universities in Chile both public and private. As a result, the admission possibility is high particularly for foreigners.
5. There is no session jam at Chilean universities. There is no corruption or bribing in universities. All official process is online.
6. Student resident visa is easy to obtain. After one year, you may apply for a permanent residence (PR).

12. If you have Chilean passport, you may travel to most of the richest countries like Japan, South Africa, Eurpoe, UK etc. Chile has visa waiver program with USA and Canada. That means, Chilean passport holders may travel to USA and Canada without a regular consular visa.

Disadvantages:

3. Drugs is a social problem in Chile. Pork and beef are the principal food in Chile.
