Relying entirely on an agency for your study-abroad process carries several risks. Agencies may prioritize their financial interests over your best fit, leading to unsuitable university or course recommendations. Miscommunication or lack of transparency can result in incomplete or incorrect visa applications, risking rejection.
Overdependence may also leave you unprepared for cultural or academic challenges abroad. Some agencies have partnerships with specific institutions, limiting your options. Fraudulent agencies might exploit students with hidden fees or false promises. Always verify agency credentials, maintain personal involvement in the process, and cross-check all information to mitigate these risks.
