what would u think of me (rich international student)

Hello, I am an international student and am holding an offer from kings.
Before moving to UK this Sep, I wanted to know what pschy do UK students have for us and found it quite funny when I read the threads like what do rich international students think of us and they are spoiled etc.
Actually why I made this thread is so I can know why do u actually think we are spoiled or we are different from you when you yourself actually have a huge upper hand (fluent English) . I, before reading threads like this, thought that may be students would think down on me as I don't belong to their culture and dun know how the things go on there (though have visited UK many times as u would expect from a rich int student ;-) ) .
So to tell u about myself , yes I am one of those students who has latest macs, smartphones and my parents will buy me a flat and a BMW when I move there though in no way I think I will be bragging about it or think m better than u people and personally am a very down to earth person, this is the reason m leaving all this wealth n moving over there but still all these come with me where ever I'll move.
Thanks for reading this essay and please share Ur thoughts on why u think students with lots of moneyare not like u.

Why do people think your spoilt, because, without trying to be offensive, you are. Having your parents buy you a Mac and a flat makes you spoilt.

Haha that's good for you if you own much more. Lol. I'm really happy for you that you've earned everything. Now live peacefully.

So basically you are from a third world country which depends on foreign charity & IMF's loans, LMAO. Now, you are trying to impress us with your money which is indirectly earned from British & American tax payers. 99% of the rich population in your country is corrupt.

I wouldn't call someone "spoilt" just because their parents buy them expensive things. It's all relative, based on how rich the family is. Maybe the OP's family have so much money that a Mac and a flat are not particularly expensive things for them.

I mean, an 8 year old child in Bangladesh who works in a sweatshop for 18 hours a day to feed his family probably thinks you're spoilt because your parents bought food for you at that age and you didn't have to work for it yourself. But for you and your parents, it's not such a big deal, food is cheap. That isn't being "spoilt", it's just making the best of whatever situation you've been born into. Why make yourself live a more difficult life if you don't have to?



I think someone can be considered "spoilt" if they have a sense of entitlement from their parents (or anyone else), to the extent that it starts to seriously put other people out, and they still don't appreciate the value of it. For example, if your parents are struggling to pay their own bills, and you still expect them to buy you a Mac and a flat, and they do it anyway because they're too afraid of the tantrum you'll throw if they disappoint you, then that would be quite spoilt, because you expect to get your way no matter how difficult it is for other people to accommodate you.

But, all parents spend money on their children to some extent, so naturally those who have more will spend more. I don't think that's sufficient grounds to criticise them for being spoilt - what else do you expect people to do in that situation?

I'm glad I'm not in the same situation as the OP.

Working for something, knowing the value of it, and earning it through your own achievement is so much greater a feeling than having something handed to you.

Gratification is a wonderful, understated feeling.

Show me the best you have. Like this:

Hahaha Oh my... Mann don't make me do this, you and many others would burn them down into ashes. Stay cool, it's ok whatever you have.

I agree with you completely on the last sentence.

Nobody said that all rich people's kids are spoilt, at least I never said this but the OP is definitely an idiot who is trying to discriminate people by showing that he deserves some sort of special treatment because his father has some money so the world revolves around him. OP's arrogance and smugness reflect his limited life experience. If you are rich then you don't need to advertise whereas OP is literally braying. Because his classmates will know from his lifestyle. Clearly, OP wants some attention otherwise I don't see a point in starting such a stupid thread where everyone is humiliating him. Although, he deserves it because of his arrogance.

u wont ever know me.

Centurion is one of the top elite cards. I can bet you don't have anything like this. So keep laughing like an idiot.

Even if you say I belong to a third world country and Pakistan takes loan from IMF, still you cannot do shop things which I can. So Congratulations for belonging to a developed country.

To be honest, I don't care about whether an international student is 'rich'. I have quite a few international friends, some whose parents are rich and others not so. It is all about how you present yourself to others. If, for example, you were to go on about how your parents are buying you a flat then I, personally, would find your annoying and would end up ignoring you because being snobby and braggy is an ugly trait to have.

However, having rich parents doesn't define who you are but when you say that we are advantaged because we speak fluent English, it does urk me because it isn't a high advantage as you put it. There are people living on benefits, who work but cannot afford rent or food, so it is ignorant to say just because we speak a certain language puts us higher than international students. At the end of the day, first impressions are everything and if you portray yourself as a snobby brat, you'll be treated negative but if you just be friendly then it'll be fine.
