What you need to know about living in Ghana
Ghana is an ethnically diverse country. It has a low cost of living in some areas, but imported products can be very expensive. This contributes to a higher than most countries’ cost of living in modern cities. Most of the country is not modernized. However, low inflation helps to keep things affordable. In terms of culture, the country has strong art, music, and dance history. Most of its culture is influenced by the Kingdoms of the Akan. Ghana has a diverse population and numerous reasons to study here. However, one of the biggest impacts of doing so is the ability to contribute to the country after you graduate. Salaries for even very in-demand countries remain low, but the ability to contribute to the well being and improvement of the country could be a very good reason to get your education here. With opportunities to do so readily available, it may be the ideal place to study.
