| im an international student.
wht i did:
1. did the necessary test : toefl and sat.
your those scores, you can start to think wht kind of uni.s that match your academic quality.
2. deciding my school budget and location.
school budget :
comm. college : alot cheaper than ANY uni. but you hv to be ready for your next plan (transfering to 4year uni.)
private college : some of them hv financial aid programs for intern. students., but usually they are not big uni.s,,
public uni. : usually big uni. with alot of students. very min. scholarship and financial aid for international students (cause they are subsidized by the government already).
location : a.if you're going to stay at dorm,,normally no matter where you are, the total of your living cost will be pretty much the same..
b. if you want to be in place that has great number of racial diversities (calif. or nyc)
c. if you hv some fams. here and want to stay close with them,,
im in east coast btw.
3. if you dont hv financial issue,,well,,it depends on your major. try to see their web. find current international students there (you can try search in facebook, myspace, or friendster too!),,ask them whatever you want..
whereever and whatever uni. that you choose, you'll have great experiences by studying abroad! guaranteed! x] |
