What will you be going for? If youre gonna go to a shitty-decent college it will be atleast $10-15K per year. Good ones will be $30-45K+ & just imagine the board unless you rent/share an apartment, etc etc.

Currently in America, its wonderful except my fucking economics teacher is from fucking Uganda and I cant understand what the fuck hes saying half the time. I thought this kids last name was combo when it was actually campbell !!!! His writing is worse than chicken shit, I swear the faggot writes like that on purpose.

Why would you study abroad in the US when you can do it in some parts of Europe for free?

As a general rule, dont take professors with foreign names unless you can verify from other students that they arent fucking terrible.

Free if you can get a scholarship, expensive if not.

I heard his class was easy so I stuck with it. Also the guys essay for the class is only worth 10 points to your actual grade. Probably be able to pass unless I fuck up badly.

If you do study abroad through your university, it should be pretty easy and hassle free. On the down side, they normally charge you an arm and a leg, and you could probably get a cheaper rate if you just contact the university yourself, and arrange everything. Since you come from Australia, language shouldn't be an issue, just your academic record. Pretty much all universities and community colleges have a plethora of information available on their websites for international students.

You just need to check different colleges. The policies for international students are all different. Some will help you and some will penalize you for being foreign. Though the latter occurs alot less often.

i dunno how it is in austrailia, but im from france and going abroad to the u.s. as a foreign student is very tough...your marks have to be high, and since there are a lot of people trying for a limited position, it's very very competitive. i'm a 4th year student and i tried my 2nd year before getting to go there for my 3rd (was denied my second year.
it wasn't more money with the program i went to; just my normal tuition, but that could be different for you too.
just check into these things before you decide where you want to go and talk to a teacher or something.

frenchfag here

used an exchange program to get the feeling of how "studying abroad" was for my 3rd year in college. Canada turned out to be so awesome I went back as a regular student for a master degree.

If you wanna go somewhere, check the following :
spoken language
funding (funds, loans, living costs in said place, etc)
the program you wanna study, if you're moving abroad maybe you'd like to actually check it out instead of being stuck in your room 24/7
and the place itself, transportation system, where you're gonna live, etc

studying abroad fucking feels good man

When I was in High School I did a homestay program in Sweden, and I plan to go back to actually study there now that I'm in college.

But as already mentioned, the biggest worries you'll have is whether or not you need spoken language requirements, if the courses are taught in a language you know, accommodations, price, transportation etc.

But yeah go for it, studying abroad is a great experience.
