Concerns about safety and acceptance for Pakistani students studying abroad, particularly in the US and Europe, are addressed in the discussion. The general consensus suggests that while there may be some underlying fear and prejudice, particularly in the US post-9/11, the risk to individuals largely depends on their behavior and the environments they choose. Many participants highlight that universities tend to be more tolerant and diverse, providing a supportive atmosphere for international students. The discussion also notes that while some may mistakenly assume Pakistani students are Indian, this can sometimes lead to less overt discrimination. Ultimately, the safety and experience of studying abroad can vary significantly based on location and personal choices.
