        abstract = {What motivates students to study abroad in Manipal, India? What are the key push and pull factors? The study found that the only key push factor proved to be the lack of educational opportunities for the student in its home country. Furthermore, results showed that recommendations from family and friends that have resided in the receiving country are an influential pull factor and an important source of trustworthy information to the participants. Participants who did not have these social ties had private agents to fill up this gap of information and guidance.  Another key factor proved to be the high quality reputation of Manipal University which was the main argument for the majority of the students to study in Manipal. Low tuition, living and transportation costs in India were also key pull factors. Lastly, all the students claimed heavily that improving English and seeking out adventure made them study abroad.},
