Ok so Im a Pakistani Muslim and Im highly confused. I dont know if I should apply abroad or not. Ok so ive never been outside Pakistan so I havent really ever met people from other countries and cultures so I have no clue how to interact with them if I choose to go out. Then this is like a whole 4 year experience and if we go to America for my studies so I cant just say to my parents that I want to quit university if i dont like the people there. So is there anyone here who is a Muslim and has studied in America? Can u explain what it was like? Is it very hard to make friends with ppl from other cultures? and do you feel homesick if u stay in a hostel? (Yes ive never stayed in a hostel myself before). Im used to speaking in my native language Urdu so is it hard to speak in English? I know English and Im good at it too but Ive never really talked in English with anyone... Then theres another big thing. I wear Hijaab and Alhamdulillah I pray and I dont go out with boys or anything and I know that in America, the ppl are very different so i just wanted to know will I get bullied for this? I dont know if Ill cave under the peer pressure and give up my Islamic principles which I dont want to do thats y im asking u to tell me if the bullying and peer pressure there are too much? Now u must be wondering y id want to go at all if there are so many confusions Well lets just say Im an adventurous girl. I like new challenges. If I want to I can just study in Pakistan and not have to go through any of this but that would be completely boring. Meeting ppl with new cultures and teaching them a thing or two about Islam too sounds much more better to me. Then ill also be the first girl from our family to study abroad and I want to inspire my younger cousins who look up to me. But I dont want to sacrifice my religion for all this or live a depresssing life thats y im asking for help. So please help me out here. JazakAllah!
