I have been wanted to study abroad since high school and now that I am in college, here is my chance!

At first, I was thinking of Japan, but after my first year as a freshman, I have been more inspired and exposed to study in either China and Australia as well.

Over this summer before I begin as a sophomore, I am starting to look for schools I want to attend. And to give you more insight, I want to directly enroll to the school as well because these so called “study abroad programs” are hell of expensive and I think going with one of these programs will provide me limited options to the things I would like to do in a country and I won’t fully experience traveling abroad. For example, to study with IES to go to Japan costs $37,000 for a full year. Damn…that is more than what I pay for at my school for a full year.

But the problem is, I just don’t know where. China, Japan, or Australia?

But here’s another thing, If I do go with direct enrollment, some schools do require that the international student knows the language, but there may be some schools that provide international students with classes in Chinese and Japanese, but I have to research on it more.

Also, I know there are more to it than what I stated about. I would also would have to figure out if my school will take the credits, housing, food, and the list goes on.

So I am stuck! Does anyone have any experiences studying in any of these countries or being in these countries that you would like to share or some more advice?

Thanks!
