Few Questions.

College Life

<p>1) How hard will it be for an international student to “blend” in…Im sociable and very fun/outgoing but I just cant get over the fact I wont know anyone do you think this would make me start on the backfoot?</p>

<p>2) Is there anything special I need to get a drivers license? (in the US) and on average how long does it take to get your drivers license (after passing tests)</p>

<p>3)Im after a sort of party school with a vibarant atmosphere yet the quality of education is high and a good percent actually cares about there grades would UMiami / FSU / U OF A fit my critera?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>1) A LOT of kids don’t know anyone at their school. Use Facebook to your advantage.</p>

<p>2) Usually 6 months, depends on the state.</p>

<p>3) Miami is definitely your best bet. Don’t consider FSU, that’s just a party school. Is U of A, Arizona, Alabama, or what?</p>

<p>Is there a specific reason your list is exclusively of Florida schools? If in fact you are open on location, there are a range of other “work hard play hard” schools of various academic levels you may wish to consider, such as UW-Madison, UM-Ann Arbor, UCSB, Penn, Washington & Lee, Union College, Tulane, and many others.</p>

<p>AND UT-Austin!
Be advised: Financial aid isn’t that great, or acceptance rate for internationals, or out-of-staters.</p>

<p>Great school nonetheless.
High-ranked academics.
First-rate social scene…
and Austin, which in itself is such a vibrant city.</p>

<p>Most colleges have an International Students Association. They usually organise get-togethers so you can meet some of the other Internationals. They also have information concerning visas, bank accounts, driving licenses etc. U Miami has a good repuation for both academics and social life and you will make friends in your dorm as well as in any clubs you join.</p>
