Is It Cheaper, Around The Same, Or More Expensive to Go To College In Another Country?
I'm guessing it depends on the country, but doing an exchanged student kind of program to a country like Spain, Italy, or Argentina would it be (most likely) more costly or less if you were to go to University in another country for a couple of semesters or about a year rather than in the US?

Well I know they have study abroad programs in most universities, but for the most part they're more expensive. But if you get scholarships and grants, then it shouldn't be an issue.

Hello Sleepy Head :D Hey i gave you a great answer in one of your old Q's about choosing the right path but I don't think you saw it. Exchange is REALLY EXPENSIVE. I've known people that have done it. The way it works is you go to your Study Abroad office at your current college/uni and you have to pay them thousands of dollars. You can't just take a break and enroll in a foreign school and go by yourself since you'd have to apply as an international student and this would be more expensive. If you are having trouble paying for college, attend an in-state public one (there are many SUNY schools) and apply for federal grants such as the Pell Grant (which is based on your parents' financials). You don't have to go to a community college unless you are really strapped for cash.

If you go to another country as an EXCHANGED student, you will pay your original university even if you're abroad. Instead if you suscribe to another university i can tell you that in Italy a public university (northern are very good) costs about 1500 euros a year, private about 12000. Spain is a little bit cheaper. would you mind to help me please? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Al0Fx.Cbcg0M4h4h406XcWLHxQt.;_ylv=3?qid=20080906080838AAVD8pm

Well, the cost of living in some countries will be less than in the US, but you have to pay for your travel as well, so I'd say it'd still be more expensive. But if you can afford it, I think it'd be a great experience!

Iv done my research the other way as I want to come to Chicago to go College and have found Italian Milan Unis to be FAR cheaper. They basically charge you based on your family income, rather than set prices per semester or number of classes, etc. The point is that would apply if you did it not as a Foreign Exchange student but simply "came to uni" in Italy, as I would do if I come to Chicago. That's all I can say right now :) Still researching :)

Stay in the States. Less expensive because you can't get any money from the donors "Scholarships from rich people" and you have that here and the education in the states is better. I have a few arguments with Cambridge still Hawkings and Dawkins are good scientists but i still agree with both of them almost never. Look for as many scholarships as you can find there is more than you think. I received one for working a Py software and I also received a big amount for an essay in music(not my study).

i was an exchange student in ecuador in 86-87. i have to say that it was the best year of my life. i found that the people accepted you more as an exchange student without the racism because you were there learning there language and culture. personally i would not got to honduras because of the political problems that are going on and i would not go to the domincan republic because you are one island and you would not be able to see other countries. when i did my exchange program i went to colombia, peru and bolivia. Recently i have been travelling to costa rica. its really nice ( been there 4 times just this year) . in panama you have to deal with to many diseeass (malaria, yellow fever, dengue fever) there are pills for malaria and a shot for yellow fever( i would recommend that shot before you go anywhere down there). ecuador and peru are filled with culture and history ( the indian markets in both countries, machu pichu in peru. i have never been to chile or argentina but i have heard that they are both beautiful countries. i you have anymore questions feel free to email me its gringo1001@yahoo.com ps after my year in ecuador i was pretty good in spanish. after being married to an ecuadorian and now a colombian for the last 17 years i am fluent in spanish. you are making the best decision of your life. hope this helped

Luoipin is right, but I'd say "spiritoso" instead of "divertente". The other two worked through a translator and they are NOT right.

Foreign Exchange Student - What Country?
Foreign Exchange Student - What Country?
Tl;wr (Too long; won't read) What country should I go on for my exchange? _________________________________________________ Hey there, I plan on being a foreign exchange student my senior year of high school through the Rotary's Youth Exchange program. I haven't been accepted ... yet, because they do that in December, but I have though about which country I want to go to but would like some input :) These are the countries I am able to choose from: Africa Exchange Programs * South Africa Asia Exchange Programs * India * Japan * Russia * South Korea * Taiwan * Thailand Australia Exchange Programs * New Zealand Europe Exchange Programs * Austria * Belgium * Czech Republic * Denmark * Finland * France * Germany * Italy * Latvia * Lithuania * Norway * Poland * Slovakia * Spain * Sweden * Switzerland * Turkey North America Exchange Programs * Mexico South America Exchange Programs * Argentina * Brazil * Chile * Ecuador So far my top 3 choices are Norway, South Korea, and Russia. I want Norway because I heard it is a magnificent and beautiful place to be, and I am part Norwegian, but ... my main reason for going on this exchange is to learn a new language, and Norwegian isn't really useful in the USA or for that matter, anywhere but Norway! I also wanted South Korea because I've studied the language some, and my good friend is Korean and she's taught me some. The language is a great one to know because of business, and Korea's economy is strong; they also do a lot of trading with the USA. And... Russia? I'm not sure. The language seems pretty cool, but I'm not too sure about the country? So, what country do you think I should go to?! Give me good reason! :) (and preferably pick between my top 3, but if you see a different country that is awesome, list some reasons why and I might have a change of heart!) Thanks for everything! ... & reading this. :P P.S. The only country in which there is a language requirement is France, which is 3 years.

Well, if you are looking for a country for the language and business, go to India. There are tons of indians in the US now and also we do a TON of business with them, besides the fact that we also outsource to india A LOT. You'd be a head of people here if you learned hindi and about the indian culture in general. but...sure south Korea sounds nice?
2 :
go to Sweden!
3 :
The only problem with just picking any old country (I'm not sure about this program either personally as I never researched it) is that there might be language requirements. If that's the case, then that severely limits where you can go. Make sure that you have the language requirement (if there is one) for these countries before you set your heart on them.
4 :
Well my pick would definitely be Korea, amazing country, completely different culture so it's a cool experience plus Korea is fun and Koreans are cool and outgoing plus you can learn Korean easily as you already know some of it. Also, Koreans like americans (probably only country, lol). But dude, you can't except that once you speak a second language you can become some international business man, language really isn't everything. Millions of Koreans speak english and they are just regular people. And you're also wrong about Norwegian. Swedish and Danish are almost the same languages so you can speak there Norwegian too and people will understand, plus most people in Norway speak good English. Climate isn't exactly pleasant in Norway either and it's like dark and depressing for most of the time. And dude, you don't want to go to Russia. Not only the language will kill you, plus nobody there speaks English, maybe except a some young people but that's about it. Also, Russians are not exactly used to foreigners and I think that at some point you might not feel welcome in Russia. Plus it's not exactly rich country, if that matters to you. So yeah, I would probably go to South Korea, my second choice would be Italy (awesome people, good food, lot of nightlife and fun). When I was your age I went to Australia (to learn English). I'm European - not from any country I mentioned. PS: don't listen to the chick who talks about india. India has probably more english speakers than united states, so even if you by some miracle learned the language you're never gonna use it, maybe not even in india.
