I recently graduated high school and am currently planning on enrolling at a top American university this fall (I’ve already been accepted etc.)

However I keep getting the feeling that maybe this isn’t the best idea (maybe just buyer’s remorse?). The thing is that I would be an international student in the U.S. Therefore things would be very difficult for me…(in terms of internships, employment, etc.) My parents have the funds to pay so the money isn’t an issue.

Although I haven’t been in Australia in a very very long time, I have Australian citizenship so it would be very cheap for me there. Also, because of my citizenship I would not be at a disadvantage when it comes to internships, employment, etc.

Either way, I do not know anybody there and this whole university thing will be a very challenging adventure for me.

In the U.S., I would double major in economics and mathematics. In Australia, I would do a combined degree in law and economics. My ultimate goal is to either practice international law or to go on to a top Ph.D. Economics program.

In your opinion, what would you say is the better decision?
