I'm only in year 12, but i'm considering applying for university abroad (say in USA/CA/SG/NL or another place where English is spoken for instruction).
I'm just wondeirng if anyone has gone abroad for uni/know someone that has and knows how it's like.
It'd be good to visit different countries and I'd never really thought about it but it sounds like a good idea unless you'd get really homesick like me... :)
Would international schools recognise English results though, if you get me? I mean A Levels might get you into British universities but maybe not American ones... (I dunno how it works tbh lol).
For US ones, you NEED to take another exam called the SAT, but for most of the others (including CA), they do accept them.Quote:

I have always wanted to move to, and go to a university in Australia :)
I'd go to Harvard like Elle Woods. Then move back to England and not pay off my loans so another one of their banks collapses.
LOL.Quote:

id very much like to go to australia coz 1) its nearer 2) my grandaunt lives there [:
If I were to go to a foreign uni then i'd only want to go somewhere like Singapore (or another english speaking country that actually has culture and I might learn something). As opposed to just going to America for the sake of it and living a similar life.
I have in Canada and the US, but somehow I dont think i'll have the money. Its rather costly. I've looked up on it :(
I'm either planning on going to uni in CA or here then moving to CA as that's where i plan on living
to be honest, the price isn't really much different abroad, so i might apply when it's time
Say what? You're talking at least 55k for studying in the United States, plus US laws prevent you from only having a job inside a university's campus; which is paid very little. Then there are accommodation and living expenses, which would probably cost another 30k; so you'd be looking at paying a fee of around 85K.Quote:

Btw - British banks don't give loans to students studying in the US :)
I really don't see the point in going abroad for university. Seems a pointless hassle if you ask me.
For NL it's a goddam lot cheaper. You get the same price as NL students being an EU citizen. There are more places than the USA. ;)
Average cost of university is £32k. Whilst the tuition fees are just €1,565/yr in Amsterdam (doesn't include accomodation mind).
So you don't have to pay back your loan. But I think if you move house so many times they lose track of you and your debt gets cleared anyway.Quote:

But the chances of going to a Uni abroad is slim to me :P
Check your inbox at college, they emailed everyone INIT.Quote:
