<p>Im an international student, but I think my request could be interesting, for also resident students in the US. There is a organization, who offers admission and a scholarship for particular colleges in the US for international students. Im interested in an diverse environment, a place where class discussions are encouraged, small classes, and good programs in the communications, journalism, psychology, media, film and business area.
I wanted to ask you what do you think about the following collleges/uni’s. Are they any valuable colleges/uni’s included? Is it worth to apply to this program? Does any of these colleges offer good programs in the areas ive mentioned?</p>
<p>LIST:</p>
<ul>
<li>Webber International University</li>
<li>University of Wisconsin, Eu Claire</li>
<li>Lindenwood University, St. Louis</li>
<li>Kansas Wesleyan University</li>
<li>Holy Names University, Oakland</li>
<li>Campbellsville University</li>
<li>North Dakota State University </li>
<li>College of Idaho</li>
<li>Cameron University</li>
<li>North Carolina Wesleyan College</li>
<li>Elizabethtown College</li>
<li>Lenoir Rhyne University </li>
<li>North Central Missouri College</li>
<li>Montana State University</li>
<li>University of the Cumberlands</li>
<li>Fontbonne University</li>
<li>Post University</li>
<li>Culver Stockton College</li>
<li>Maryville University, St. Louis</li>
<li>Northwestern Polytechnical University</li>
<li>Mount Olive College</li>
<li>Felician College, New Jersey</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Do some research on these institutions. Do they offer programs in the areas you mentioned being interested in?<br></li>
<li>Contact a couple of them directly and ask if they really are affiliated with this organization to which you refer. It sounds fishy to me.</li>
<li>None of the colleges in this list has a national reputation. That is not to say that they are not good colleges/universities, just that they are all relative unknowns.</li>
</ol>
<p>Thank you for your respond. I already did some research, but i will continue to do it.
My intention also was to find out, if one of these colleges are at least in the 2nd or 3rd row of US universities. I know that they do not have the reputation like UC’s, Boston, New York , etc., but I found out, that College of Idaho is published in the Princeton Review 2012. And some of them are ranked in the national university ranking of US News&World Report (placed under the best 200, fe. Montana State University #190, North Dakota State University #181, Maryville University #157) or in the Regional Rankings (Campbellsville University, Elizabethtown College…)</p>
<p>Are you asking if these schools give large merit scholarships to international students?</p>
<p>What are your stats?</p>
<p>I’ve never heard of many of these schools. Where did you get this list?</p>
<p>edited to add…</p>
<p>i notice that you want to go to a CC first and then transfer? If so, then those scholarship opportunities will disappear. Those opps are for INCOMING frosh. Not transfers. Transfers rarely get much. </p>
<p>@mom2collegekids: No, that wasnt my question. There is an organization that provides scholarships in combination with a “guaranteed acception” at these colleges. ([Stipendien</a> USA | Stipendium für ein Studium in den USA](<a href=“http://www.internationaldoorway.de/]Stipendien”>http://www.internationaldoorway.de/) - its a german site; but I heard lots of good things about them). This mentioned colleges, want to increase their international students rate - thats why they offer scholarships for international students, who dont have to show superior notes. </p>
<p>About the CC’s. Yes, that was my plan in the first place, but I still hesitate, because Im not sure if I would be accepted after 2 years to any of my dream schools. Additionally, I still don’t know which CC would be the best for me, since I can’t visit the campus and there are no good reviews for CC’s offered on the market. </p>
