I just got accepted into an engineering program in australia and I was wondering if I can get financiail aid for the full three year program. A lot of what I have seen is for semesters abroad but none for the full tuition. What kind of funding options do I have?
How can I get financial aid to study abroad?
hi, aid various, include TA,RA, I got when I do work for the lab .
U need apply due to each school's situation.
Generally there are lots of opportunities(I thought that 's very very hard, but that's not true) , u just need to try.
Best wish
Reply:One of the cool website on study abroad programs that I just came across, hopefully may help you :

What would be some tips you would giveme if I wanted to go study abroad for 5 months in high school?
I really want to go to australia next year for 5 months as a sophmore. Is there anything I should know before I sign up with the program to go?
What would be some tips you would giveme if I wanted to go study abroad for 5 months in high school?
U SHOUID HAVE TECHNICAL ABILITIES AS A SOPHMORE,
Reply:Tips:
Be open minded.
Find exactly what the program offers and what is expected of you and where are you going to live?
Learn as much as you can about the country and its customs.
Make sure you have money to spend.
Expect things to be very different than what you are used to at home (this is the biggest mistake kids make!)
beware of the drinking and smoking laws and obey them.
Try to get along with the family and follow their rules.
Reply:I agree with Feisty, you should at least seriously consider 1) going for a whole year and 2) going to a non-English speaking country. Think about it -- how many times will you have the opportunity to live abroad and learn a new language while fully immersed in the culture? Not many, let me tell you. It only gets more difficult to arrange as an adult.
I know a year sounds like a long time to be away, but what often happens with students that only go for a semester is that they are just starting to feel comfortable, learning the language, making friends, etc., and then they have to go home! Being there for a year lets you really experience the whole thing.
There are scholarships for many exchange programs, but as you can imagine, they're hard to get because everyone wants one. It's possible (but pretty difficult) to win a full scholarship. No one except your parents or a scholarship will pay for your year, and no one (probably not even your parents) will pay you to go. One more advantage to going for a whole year instead of just a semester is that oftentimes the semester programs are only a couple thousand dollars less than the full year program. In other words, a year program might cost around $9,000 with AFS or YFU, and a semester program might cost $7,000. It's totally worth it to do the whole year!

Reply:Go to the Internet and search for the school you interested in and find out if you meet the school's entry requirements.
If you meet that then find out the visa requirement to enter your country of interest. Good lucky!
Reply:Yes, I actually have several tips for you!
1. Wait until you are a junior and go for an entire year. For one, application deadlines have passed for next year for many organizations -- especially if you are applying for scholarships.
2. Don't go to Australia! I have nothing against Australia, but one of the major benefits of an exchange is language immersion. If you go to Australia, you don't get the benefit of a second language.
3. Make sure you pick a reliable program. It should be CSIET listed (www.csiet.org). Those are programs certified to operate in the U.S. Also check with your school counselor for a recommendation. A program is only as good as its local representatives. Generally, AFS, Aspect, Rotary and YFU are reliable everywhere.
4. Many programs offer scholarships. Rotary is the cheapest, but most competitive. There are NO programs that will send you for free ... and why should they? Nothing that is totally free is valued. If you don't have the money this year, work for it and go next year.
5. As for the exchange experience itself, I could type you a whole list, instead I'll send you over to Exchange Student World, an online community of current and former exchange students. http://www.exchangestudentworld.com/
Good luck and I hope you have a great time!

How do I apply for a study abroad in High School or an exchange program?
I'm really interested in going to Japan and I want to experience the schooling and life for quite awhile. I'm not at ALL close to fluent in Japanese but I want to learn, so I'm trying my best to achieve that goal. What I don't know though is what will happen...
How do I apply for a study abroad in High School or an exchange program?
The best place to start is with your guidance counselor. I don't know what the grade structure is to become a exchange student, so I won't even try to steer you in a direction I know little about.
Perhaps you would need to know a bit of Japanese in order to even be considered. Once again, I'm simply guessing.
Good Luck!

How are the study abroad programs through college?
im about to be a senior and i have two choices for college.. a state school, or going to a comunity college and then going abroad to italy. its a big choice. opinions?
college expierience now when im young, travel later?
or travel when im young?
How are the study abroad programs through college?
While I understand that this is a huge choice for you. There is nothing saying you can't go to a state school and study abroad. There are numerous exchange programs through colleges that would be the same as your tuition. Scholarships and financial aid usually transfer for these programs. The program I went on was through a different college than the one I was attending. Due to the fact that we had an exchange policy for them I was able to go abroad for the same price it would have cost me to be on campus that year.

Is it a good idea for me to do study abroad in france for nine months, and then spain for nine months?

Can you study abroad your senior year in high school and still get an American graduate degree?
Generally speaking, yes. You may have to take a course or two the summer before or the summer after you return however to complete the graduation requirements.
It will actually depend upon how your school counts your exchange year. Most will give you social studies, langauge and independent study credit. Sometimes you also get math and science as you will most likely be taking those classes. You may have to take a senior English and/or American government class by correspondence or in summer school.
Make sure you get the credit commitment from your school in writing!
Good luck!

How do I convince my parents it is a good idea to study abroad in Africa?
Next January, my college is offering a 17 day trip to Ghana and Nigeria for about $2700 (American). We are going as a group and are using a chartered bus for the entire trip. I know my parents won't be able to see the educational value of going, but I am going to try to convince them anyway. Got any suggestions?
How do I convince my parents it is a good idea to study abroad in Africa?
Do your homework. Study up on the country and discover what makes the country great. Take those great points and pass them along to your parents. Might be worth passing a few negative points to so as to look unbiased, but in response to their raised eyebrows, have a solution ready (i.e. Ethiopia is nearly at the brink of war with Eritrea. However, Ethiopia has the unquestionable dominant army and former Peace Corps volunteers who once served there had huge positive impacts in rural communities.)
Reply:You need to ask yourself that question. Why you wanna go and study in Africa, whats so great about it there? And trust me if its good answers and reasonable ones they tell it to your parents and that would be your best chance of getting to their hearts!
Reply:This kind of trip is exactly why you go to college in the first place. It will help you focus your interests, open your mind and probably will help you develop your career as well.
Reply:A friend of mine studied for a year through the College At Sea program and had a similar issues with his parents before he was allowed to enter thr program. Another friend had been through the same program a year earlier. He had his friend's parents call and discuss the program with his own parents.
The outcome couldn't have been better. Not only did my friend get complete blessings from his parents to attend the program, his younger sister was almost forced to do the program by his parents when she started college.
Good luck!
Reply:Convince your parents by proving to them that you can defend yourself in a combat-type situation and that you have considerable knowledge of first-aid. Show them that these skills are important skills that you can contribute to the travel group. If they know that you can defend yourself %26amp; take care of yourself in case of injury they are much more likely to agree with your trip. What are you planning to learn from your trip? Figure that out and lay it out for them- that will help your situation tremendously. Good Luck and Be Careful!
Reply:If you are serious of going - then start to get some funds for the trip yourself. Write articles, organise sales and get sponsorship. Maybe yur parents will then see your eagerness to go and support you.
Reply:I wouldn't go. there are dangerous minorities over there

Should I study abroad in Australia or New Zealand?
I am not sure which place is best. I really want to be able to surf but I also like natural beauty and outside activities. I am also interested in nightlife with fun activities.
Any ideas on where the nicest people are?
Which place is more fun?
Which is warmer?
And if so, what town should I study in?
Thanks so much!
Should I study abroad in Australia or New Zealand?
Hello there. I grew up in Hong Kong and came to Australia for my uni studies when I was 17. Now I end up settling down as a permanent resident in Melbourne.
Yes, Australia is awesome. As far as weather is concerned, it depends on what you like, Queensland and West Australia are very mild, warm, and doesn't change much. Melbourne (Victoria) is famous for its 4 seasons in a day. Like Tuesday it was 36 degrees and yesterday it was raining and we had to put the central heating on the whole night.
Queensland, Sydney (NSW) and Melbourne (Victoria) are probably the most dynamic places. Perth (WA) is quiet, Adelaide(SA) is even quieter...
Melbourne has a lot of good universities, and is famous for its (alternative) arts, music and clubbing scene. We have lots of galleries, exhibitions, as well as local heavy metal gigs and burlesque shows. Melb is always a bit quirky, the way I like it.
Do some research on the web and see what courses offered by which unis interest you the most. If you'd like to know more about Melb, you could gimme an email.
Reply:Studying abroad in Australia has more of an infrastructure to handle international students than NZ. However, you might get a more "authentic" experience in New Zealand.
Because Australia and New Zealand are very similar, it all depends on the program you choose.

How long will I have for beach weather if I go in mid february and leave in june?
What is life like in melbourne for a study abroad student? Are there a lot of good looking girls?
Voted as one of the most livable cities in the world, Melbourne is ideal for study abroad students. Relatively small (population b/w 3 to 4 million), the city is spread extensively due to the many suburbs. The city centre is almost 20 blocks or so, with the Yarra river flowing at the south.
Many good-looking girls, infact some of the most beautiful girls in the world come from Australia. After all, the last Miss Universe was Australian.
Melbourne is a very laid-back city, with a huge international population. It's extremely multi-cultural and this diversity makes for a great living.
The seasons for Melbourne are as follows:
Spring - September to November
Summer - December to February
Autumn - March to May
Winter - June to August
This is not the definitive assesment, global warming has changed things around. Melbourne remains relatively cooler compared to Sydney and Brisbane. You should be able to get a few good weeks to enjoy the beach, after which things will be cooler. Try the Gold Coast in Queensland for more beach fun.

Which city in Spain is best to study abroad in?
I want to study abroad in Spain next summer and I don't know which city to go to. I was set on Seville, but then the program that I'm going with changed the course offerings. The other ones that are offerred by the program I like are Granada, Madrid, Barcelona, and Salamanca. I'm leaning toward Madrid because I like big cities, but I'm worried that it would be too hard being alone in a big city without knowing a ton of Spanish, and I hear that the weather is horrible in summer. Does anyone have any info on which cities would be better?
Which city in Spain is best to study abroad in?
My sister recently got back from a year in Valencia. The weather is better than Madrid yet it's still a big city with plenty to do.
If you're worried about not knowing the language, a big city would seem to be a better choice because there will be better support for foreigners. You should also remember that Barcelona is the second-biggest city in Spain, and Granada has a population of 236,000 - roughly the same size as Plymouth or Stoke.
What you've also got to remember is that you're going to have a geat time and meet a load of really cool people so don't think you'll be "alone" anywhere. You're going to have a great time wherever you go. Madrid is really nice. Granada has a wellknown university which you can look at online http://www.ugr.es/university.htm (English page)
In addition to all of that, you should use any available contacts at your current university (if you have one) to get any extra information, you may be able to find out personal recommendations that way - which will really help.
Good luck!
Reply:I'd say Barcelona. It's really nice there.
Reply:It can be very hot in Madrid in summer. Granada is a nice town, and not far from Madrid. You'll make friends in your classes so don't worry about not speaking tons of Spanish. All four cities you listed are nice. My faves are Madrid and Granada.
Reply:Half Spanish myself here. How about Vigo? Great new University there built in 1990. Plus it great city not to hot or to cold in the winter. You have no problem with the language there.
Reply:Sin duda Barcelona es la mejor ciudad de España,
son buenisimos los veranos en barna,
y las escuelas no deben ser tan malas,
yo vivo en bcn centro,
besos.
Reply:My vote is for Salamanca! I've never been there but I've heard a lot of great things about it from fellow students who have been there. A
Also, although it's not in Spain, Costa Rica is an interesting place to go - they do speak Spanish there!
Reply:Barcelona...I spent 2 months in Barca, and 3.5 months in Madrid. Barcelona is a wonderful city, very cosmopolitan, with everything Madrid has to offer, but a much more modern attitude. Almost everyone in Barca speaks some English. They also speak Catala there, however, so I'd make sure that if you were going to school in Barca that the classes are conducted in Spanish (unless you don't mind trying to learn Catala...it's a Romance language which isn't that hard to understand if you understand Spanish and/or French). Since Franco was deposed, there has been a huge resurgence in Catala nationalism, and the Catala language is used in full force whenever possible (it was banned under Franco). The weather in Barca is beautiful. I was there in late summer, and it never got very swelteringly hot...of course, it's right on the Mediterranean, so that helped keep the weather mild. There is a TON to do in Barca, from museums to clubs, amusement parks to sports to the beaches. You won't be bored in Barca. It also has a fabulous public transport system (so does Madrid, quite honestly), and it very close to France, Andorra, and Italy (relatively speaking), as well as having a major international airport from which you can fly to any other place in Europe quite easily (again, Madrid has this as well).
Madrid isn't horrible, weather wise. It does get hot, but it's a dry heat. It does have a lot to offer, as far as history and whatnot, but, I still lean toward Barca.
I've never been to Salamanca, and I only briefly visited Granada, so I don't know anything about them.

Reply:Barcelona...I spent 2 months in Barca, and 3.5 months in Madrid. Barcelona is a wonderful city, very cosmopolitan, with everything Madrid has to offer, but a much more modern attitude. Almost everyone in Barca speaks some English. They also speak Catala there, however, so I'd make sure that if you were going to school in Barca that the classes are conducted in Spanish (unless you don't mind trying to learn Catala...it's a Romance language which isn't that hard to understand if you understand Spanish and/or French). Since Franco was deposed, there has been a huge resurgence in Catala nationalism, and the Catala language is used in full force whenever possible (it was banned under Franco). The weather in Barca is beautiful. I was there in late summer, and it never got very swelteringly hot...of course, it's right on the Mediterranean, so that helped keep the weather mild. There is a TON to do in Barca, from museums to clubs, amusement parks to sports to the beaches. You won't be bored in Barca. It also has a fabulous public transport system (so does Madrid, quite honestly), and it very close to France, Andorra, and Italy (relatively speaking), as well as having a major international airport from which you can fly to any other place in Europe quite easily (again, Madrid has this as well).
Madrid isn't horrible, weather wise. It does get hot, but it's a dry heat. It does have a lot to offer, as far as history and whatnot, but, I still lean toward Barca.
I've never been to Salamanca, and I only briefly visited Granada, so I don't know anything about them.

Which city in Spain is best to study abroad in?
I want to study abroad in Spain next summer and I don't know which city to go to. I was set on Seville, but then the program that I'm going with changed the course offerings. The other ones that are offerred by the program I like are Granada, Madrid, Barcelona, and Salamanca. I'm leaning toward Madrid because I like big cities, but I'm worried that it would be too hard being alone in a big city without knowing a ton of Spanish, and I hear that the weather is horrible in summer. Does anyone have any info on which cities would be better?
Which city in Spain is best to study abroad in?
My sister recently got back from a year in Valencia. The weather is better than Madrid yet it's still a big city with plenty to do.
If you're worried about not knowing the language, a big city would seem to be a better choice because there will be better support for foreigners. You should also remember that Barcelona is the second-biggest city in Spain, and Granada has a population of 236,000 - roughly the same size as Plymouth or Stoke.
What you've also got to remember is that you're going to have a geat time and meet a load of really cool people so don't think you'll be "alone" anywhere. You're going to have a great time wherever you go. Madrid is really nice. Granada has a wellknown university which you can look at online http://www.ugr.es/university.htm (English page)
In addition to all of that, you should use any available contacts at your current university (if you have one) to get any extra information, you may be able to find out personal recommendations that way - which will really help.
Good luck!

i will love to study abroad but dont know what it takes and how much it will cost me. i also want to paticipate in any scholarship award program to continue my studies, please someone should put me true.
What does it take to study abroad?
around $50,000 a year if your lucky
Reply:Depending where you study, it can be anywhere from 1000 more to several thousand more. European countries tend to be the most expensive, or the US if you are in Europe. However, even on tight budgets it is possible.
Next semester I am going to go study abroad for the second time. I pay for it mostly with hopes, dreams, wishes and -of course- student loans.
My roommate who has worked about twice in her life has gone 3 times and her parents have not paid for it.
So, it is entirely possible if you really want to go.

I want to know what the experience is like when you study abroad?
I'm planning on going to London next Fall and maybe to a Latin Country in the Spring. I just wanted to get a variety of opinons and experiences so I would know what to expect. I also know everyones experience is different but I still would like to know.
I want to know what the experience is like when you study abroad?
It is the experience of a lifetime. In all seriousness, go and enjoy it because what people say is right: when you get older, you have more responsibilities. Plus, you can only get student airfare %26amp; an ISIC until you are 26. It will change you- how you think about the world and your maturity.
When you get back after your experiences, do not expect that everyone will want to hear about your time abroad as much as you will want to talk about it. Friends who did not study abroad may act differently, so talking at length about your travels may make them feel as though you are bragging.
Go. Enjoy yourself. See as much as you can.

How do I get a scholarship to study abroad?
I am from the philippines and currently working for a U.S. based company. I want to pursue a course in psychology or anything related to human behavior but i cannot find any organization that can help me with my studies. My salary isnt enough to pay for it.
How do I get a scholarship to study abroad?
I believe that you can fill out a FAFSA application, which while I have heard some things I'm not sure how much this will help. Or of course you can you can check the school's website and look for scholarships. Search the internet, I'm sure you'll find financial aid websites. Studying abroad is very expensive but I'm sure people find ways to pay for it. You can try asking your company to transfer you to the country where you want to study so you can work to help pay for your studies, or even make so that they pay you to study, depending on your area of work. Have you ventured to take some classes online? Sometimes it's a pain but it's different for everyone.
Reply:This is a perpetual problem.
You have three options:
1/ Go to the bank and borrow the money.
2/ Ask family to help you.
3/ Forget it.
No other options exist.

Where should I study abroad in Spain?
I want to study abroad in Spain next fall (first semester of my junior year in college). My options are Alicante, Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Alcala, Palma de Mallorca, Granada, or Malaga. I would go through either the International Studies Abroad (ISA) Program or CIEE.
I've heard some good things about studying abroad in Alicante because there is only one program that goes there, therefor less American students and more interacting with spanish students.
If anyone has studied abroad in any of these cites (especially if you did it through either of those programs) I would love to hear what you thought about your experience.
Or if you have vacationed/lived in any of these cites, or have any other feedback I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
Where should I study abroad in Spain?
All the cities you have metioned are great places to visit, to live and to study. Each one of them is different and unlike what you stated, Alicante is not the only place where you will have the chance to interact with locals. The program is the problem? if you choose any of these two programs you will end up with americans even if the school is in the smallest town in Spain. These programs are geared toward Americans who are willing to spend money (student loans) in studying abroad. However, if you to acheive your goals, you need to look for a program or a school in your own, especially a local small school. These language schools will usually have foreigners from all over Europe and Japan. This diversity will open the doors for you to locals. They are usually more knowledgeable and schools are more prepared to provide with real (not commercial like for americans) local experience.
You need to go out there and do it yourself. But here is a quick reference about the cities you mentioned:
- Mallorca is an expensive summer gateaway for rich people from all over Europe. Great night life and beaches.
-Barcelona is a place for everyone. It is one of the most beautifull cities in Europe. You find anything and evrything you want. Spanish is not commonly used by locals though, it is the Catalan. Safety is good but not the best.
-Madrid, in my opinion is the best place to be especially for the fall semester. The weather is nice and the city got everything from nightlife to culture. It is very student friendly city and it is somewhat affordable if you know the spots. I will highly recommend.
-Alicante is smaller coastal town with nice beaches, famous resorts for spaniards. Locals can be friendly but you can get bored easily. It is the most affordable of your choices.
In general I will avoid coastal towns in the fall, because the weather is not nice enough ro swim and stuff, and nothing really going on since everyone is back to school.

Where should I study abroad in the UK?
I'm an American planning on studying psychology at either the University of Glasgow or Queen Mary, University of London next spring, but I can't decide which one. I've been to London twice before and loved it, but I've never been to Glasgow. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Where should I study abroad in the UK?
I would choose Glasgow but then I'm Scottish so slightly biased, I just find that London smells funny and Glasgow is so cheap to live compared to London. I love the Glaswegian people they are awesome for a night out and Glasgow is really cosmopolitan these days.
plan to do my post doc at Glasgow :)
Reply:Lol none of them:P stay in America or go to Canada or... go to a less busy city which is cheaper to study in and still have some of the best Univerisities in the EU, like Cardiff, Edinburgh, Bristol(yes they are some of the biggest cities in the U.K. but nothing preperd to London and Glasgow). Cardiff is an amazing city! when i was in NYC on holiday was taking to some people in a resturant who went to Cardiff and London and they said Cardiff has got everything London has but just smaller and eiser to get around! but hey your choice,its much cheaper to study out of the 3 biggest cities in Britain.
Reply:I agree that London is the best place to study psychology but that doesnt stop you from visiting Glasgow from time to time.
Glasgow has a lot to offer, friendly people, great clubs, pubs and eating places. The architecture is a rich mix of Elizabethan, Georgian and modern. A must see is Macintosh.
His style is world reknown. There is also a great wealth of Art in Glasgow...so diverse theres something for everyone to appreciate....See you soon...............
Reply:Oh, goodness, what a choice! To be honest, myself, I'd go to London. London is an amazing city, and it's one heck of a place to be a student. Glasgow is also really, really cool, but London is LONDON.

How should i convince my parents to let me study abroad?
My parents already want me to become a forign exchange student but they only want me to go for 6 months. I have tried talking to them but they dont really want me to go for a full academic year. I would LOVE to be able to do this but do you have any suggestions about how to convince them?
How should i convince my parents to let me study abroad?
I would bring up language immersion. It generally takes the first semester to become able to understand. The second semester is when you really LEARN the language. This immersion and learning process will be extremely valuable to you in both college and the work force.
Also, it doesn't cost that much more to go for an entire year than for just a semester.
Good luck!
Reply:My sister studied in Italy, and it was a fantastic experience for her. She made really great friends and even now she goes back to Europe to see them. The thing is, you can ALWAYS go home -- yes, you might lose money or whatever, but you aren't a prisoner there.
Reply:Exchanges are great experiences for a lot of reasons. The trick is finding out the reasons that are great for your parents, not you. Sure YOU can make friends, expand your cultural horizons, blah, blah, blah. Your parents know that, that's why they want you to go for 6 months in the first place. You haven't said why they want you to only do the six but for most parents I imagine it relates to either costs or family commitments. To really convince them that you have the maturity to handle a year overseas your best bet is to tell them you want to sit down with them and discuss rationally the reasons why a year long exchange is less desirable from their view. Show them you are listening and try to really see things from their side and then see if there is anything that can be done to make a year exchange more desirable for them too.
If that doesn't work, throw a massive fit and they will definitely want to get rid of you for as long as possible!
Reply:You have to explain all the beneficial of the studying abroad program :
Study Abroad Program may be the most convenient way for a college student to learn a language or take coursework overseas for college credit. Many study abroad programs can be combined with an academic semester or full-year study abroad program for a more extensive study abroad experience.Study abroad program is a very different experience from academic year/term study, it can still be meaningful and rewarding....

I am a canadian citizen, How do i work and study abroad in america?
You can only do one; work or study.
If you decide to study, you will need to apply to a university in the United States and once you are accepted, they will issue you with an I-20 and with the I-20, you then pay the SEVIS fee ($100).
Since you are Canadian you will not require a visa, you take the I-20, along with proof of your citizenship and financial documentation which shows you can afford both tuition and living expenses.
As an international student, you are permitted to work 20 hours per week during semesters and full-time during holidays, but all employment must be done on-campus. Off-campus employment is not permitted.
If you decide to work, you will need to possess a Bachelor's Degree or equivalent to be eligible to work in the U.S. and then you would need to find an employer to sponsor and petition you for a visa to enable to you work.

Is it a shame to study abroad from someone's finance?
I want to study in London.My uncle is willing to pay for it but i feel embarrassed or I feel ashamed by studying under his charity.
Should I accept it or reject it
Is it a shame to study abroad from someone's finance?
If I were you, I would accept it. He is willing to pay, it means that he cares for your future and you should be grateful for this opportunity. If you feel embarrassed, you can say it to him that this is only a loan and you promise to return it when you finish school and already find a job someday.
Reply:I wish! I'm actually going to London myself, but if any of my relatives offered to pay, I would take it.
You're lucky to have that financial support, I think you should go, very few people are that lucky, and no it's not at all embarrassing.
Reply:No way. Your uncle wouldn't have proposed paying for it if he didn't think it would be beneficial to you. Go ahead and ge tthe experience!!! Just tell him how much it means to you and how much you appreciate it.

Reply:I wish! I'm actually going to London myself, but if any of my relatives offered to pay, I would take it.
You're lucky to have that financial support, I think you should go, very few people are that lucky, and no it's not at all embarrassing.
Reply:No way. Your uncle wouldn't have proposed paying for it if he didn't think it would be beneficial to you. Go ahead and ge tthe experience!!! Just tell him how much it means to you and how much you appreciate it.
Can you study abroad if you are from a college in S.California wanting to travel to another country?
Has anyone ever had the chance to be an exchange student, from a 2 or 4 year college in S. California to travel to another country? How did you get picked to do this? Was it expensive? Did you get a scholarship?

Are there any study abroad programs that offer graduate classes in psychology?
I am looking for a program to attend next summer that offers graduate classes in psychology, or even counseling, HIV/AIDS or GLBT issues. General psychology graduate level classes would be great. I would love to find one in either Europe, South America or Africa. Thanks for your help.

What should I write in my study abroad essay?
Okay, I am an international business major with a concentration in finance and german. Next fall I am supposed to go germany as part of my program.
I have to write a 1 page "letter of intent" on why I want to studying aboard and working (a 4 month internship follows the semester) in Germany. I don't have any personal reasons for wanting to do this. My parents made me take the language class because they felt I was forgetting the roots of my family (they are from germany) and stuff like that. If they were going to pay for college, then I was going to learn.
That being said, I dont mind studying abroad. maybe it will cool, i don't know. Anyways I need a place to start this essay, I DONT need someone to write it. The ideas don't have to be good; my GPA is far above the requirement, so i really just need to fill space.
I brainstromed writing about how new world perspectives will allow me to add new ideas and prespective to a workplace (at my future job).
What should I write in my study abroad essay?
Write about your lack of travel experience, and how this will be 'enriching' for you. (It will be.)

What countries would you recommend for study abroad?
Scotland is really the best choice as far as my class options. But I'd like to venture farther to experience a culture a lot more different than mine. Suggestions?
What countries would you recommend for study abroad?
Do you need an English speaking country? If so Australia may work since they have the same school system as England. Further away, exotic and great education system.
Reply:It seems as though you are an art lover so better try for countries such as ITALY,SPAIN etc if u want a different taste of culture.
Reply:heyyy :D you can never go wrong if you choose Malaysia as your destination to study abroad! there are a lot of foreign students from india, pakistan, nepal, china, africa, america, iran, lebanon, etc who chose to study in the variety of universities and colleges that we offer! US$100 is like 20cents here! therefore, you can get the best international education and pay for a reasonable price of your desired course! you might wanna check www.ucomonline.com, as there are information to answer your questions and doubts!
it's fairly cheap here, from renting a house, to buying groceries to going shopping! you'll even have extra change to have fun while taking a break from school assignments! :D how great is that right? Malaysia is a multiracial country, rich in different cultures and religion! food is a variety of choices! it's the perfect place to study :D try to think about this offer. just visit ucomonline.com (UCOM = University Colleges of Malaysia) and email to them about your doubts!
GOODLUCK!
Reply:I lived in Spain. I know people who had programs that didn't involve language in Italy (Florence is nice). A lot depends on language. Have you studied one? look into a country where it is spoken. Try to find a school taught in English, if language isn't one of your focuses. Scotland is REALLY pretty, and kind of a different world from, I assume you are US? France probably has some schools taught in English.
I would say, it sort of depends on what you are studying, too.
Denmark might be nice, Sweden, Norway. And then there's this person touting Malaysia. You might as well check into that, too. Might turn out to be the experience of a lifetime!

Can you study abroad if you are from a college in S.California wanting to travel to another country?
Has anyone ever had the chance to be an exchange student, from a 2 or 4 year college in S. California to travel to another country? How did you get picked to do this? Was it expensive? Did you get a scholarship?
Can you study abroad if you are from a college in S.California wanting to travel to another country?
Of course; just about every college has study abroad opportunities these days, including community colleges. You apply to go, and it is usually a matter of fist come, first served, if you meet the GPA requirements.
The cost of study abroad can vary, depending upon what is included and whose program you are in. Syracuse University, for example, has very expensive programs, but many believe them to be among the best in the country. Others are lower in cost, but may not include much so that it ends up costing you more in the long run. I know that some schools will tell you that the cost is no higher, other than airfare, than going to school in the U.S. The thing to keep in mind is that there is an opportunity cost, because you can't usually hold a paid job while you are abroad, as you might in the U.S.
If you do study abroad while you are enrolled in school, your normal financial aid package will apply. If you normally get a scholarship, you can use it for study abroad. There are a few scholarships available at some schools for such programs (at my last school, which was in SoCal, we had scholarships to allow Honors students study abroad), but the only school I know of with a lot of support especially for students studying abroad is the University of Denver, which got an endowment to pay the difference between normal costs and study abroad for any student who couldn't otherwise afford it.
Having said all of that, I want to encourage you to take any opportunity you can to study abroad. Don't just go to a conventional place. This is probably the only time in your life you will have to spend 4 months in another culture and to really understand what it is to live in another part of the world. It is a great thing, and I highly recommend it.
Reply:yes u can in So Cal. lots of state, UC, and private colleges offer study abroad opportunities. check ur school's international studies department and ask for info. theyll give u all the details.
Reply:You need to look into your college and see if they have a study abroad program. Most colleges do
Reply:Yes
Reply:umm i honestly dnt know how. but i know my older sister did it. she spent a semester at oxford.

How much does it usually cost to study abroad for a summer?
Including air fare, courses, rooming, etc - just a general estimate?
How much does it usually cost to study abroad for a summer?
Where do you live? Where do you want to study and when do you plan to leave?
The air fare varies frequently so it would be hard to give an estimate. Moreover from one place to another the price would not be the same.
If you could answer these questions, maybe I can find your answers
Reply:You found the perfect study abroad program, but you wonder how you can possible foot the bill. You don't want to miss out on the oppurtunity of a lifetime, so you decide to finance your education abroad. There are a variety of options available to finance your study abroad, including summer study abroad programs. Financing it may not be exactly like college, but it is close. So here is what you need to know.

How hard is it to get accepted to study abroad?
I really want to go. The minimum GPA is 2.7 and mine is only a little above a 3.0 ( had a bad semester and I'm working on it). But I'm worried I might not get accepted. Does anyone know whether they generally accept just about everyone who qualifies or is it very selective? I know it probably depends on the university but I'm wondering if anyone knows in general. Thanks a lot guys!
How hard is it to get accepted to study abroad?
depended on how long you want to study abroad and the classes. some do have requirements, like languages, and some do not.
go for a year, is harder, more requirements, go during the summer
i went studying abroad for the summer in Germany, France and Swizerland. i didnt speak any of their languages. applying is not hard at all, is more like first come first serve.
all i did was sign up, got my plane ticket, and i off i went
hope you get in and have it good time
Reply:Well friend keep your GPA above 3 which is a safest way to get admitted in University abroad.I am telling you because of my own experience, i got admission in canada top 4 university for a Masters in Science course and i got a GPA of little above 3.0. The key to get better chances of admission is to apply atleast 8-9 months early. Thats what i did because you can send whatever documents you have at that time and rest of documents later when you receive your provisional degree, its better you select country and university and start calling or email them. I have found University of alberta, Edmonton , a very helpful university with rapid progress rate...gud luck

How do you get into an affordable study abroad programs for France?
I work and I am in the process of going to going to a community college?
How do you get into an affordable study abroad programs for France?
I went to France through my college in the U.S. Many have exchanges so you'd pay U.S. tuition and room and board based on the location in France. I found the north to be inexpensive; I studied at the Universite d'Artois in Arras (an hour north of Paris).

What is the best country to study abroad?
I'm in college and took four years of French, but I've heard that France is the most popular country. I want to go somewhere where its not extremely popular. I'm also fluent in Spanish, should I go to South America?
What is the best country to study abroad?
It really depends on many things. For example, if you prefer to study in a place where French is spoken other than France, consider Canada (Quebec), Belgium, Luxembourg, or even tiny little Switzerland in Europe. Outside of Europe, you could try francophone countries in Africa or countries in the Pacific Ocean such as Reunion, Madagascar or Mauritius. I'm not sure how many universities they these places have or if your school could allow an exchange with them.
Nothing is wrong with South America, but it is big! Uruguay or Paraguay are not places where you'd find lots of Americans. Puerto Rico is an interesting place.
Or you could always pick a place where you could learn a new language, like Italy, Denmark, Sweden or Portugal! The world is yor oyster!
Reply:france is a good option.......................
u.k also provides good options.....
but if u are looking for good knowledge and less fees then india is a good option...........
i dont think south america is that good................
wat type of education u want to pursue?

Where's the best place to study abroad?
I want to study abroad my senior year in high school. I'm only a freshmen now, but I've been told by my guidance councler I should start planning now. I've been thinking about studying in Ireland...but I'm having second thoughts. I want to go somewhere that has a lot of history- interesting history, easy to get around...meet people and stuff, and also a place where everyone speaks english...thanks for your help!

Reply:This is a very personal thing, if you are spending a year somewhere you need to think about whether you would enjoy it and whether it would be productive. I would reccommend England because the standard of education is high and because of the history. Everywhere has a lot of history remember, think about what kind of history you are interested in...Medieval? Prehistoric? Again England is easy to get around, there is also a wide variety of places to go. For a small country we have a huge variety of cultures, North and South, coast or inland, peak or lake district.
Has anyone else at your school taken a year abroad that you could get in contact with? Get some tips? Do some research and find out about costs as well, some places will be more expensive too. Good luck!
I would also point out that St. Andrews is in Scotland and is nice but has no nightlife and a majority university student population. London is great but can be kinda dangerous and if you aren't used to cities may be a bit much at first. Also, it is a myth that most people in Europe speak English, maybe in the major cities you can get by, but you certainly need to be prepared to use or learn the local language to get the best out of your experience.
Reply:I think London is the best place...it's beautiful, full of history, has great colleges, is easy to navigate, etc. A lot of the colleges in Ireland that are very good are kind of in the middle of nowhere (ie. St. Andrews)
Keep in mind that most people speak English in other countries, especially in Europe. Rome is a fabulous place to go, and the majority of people know English.

Check out AFS, YFU and Rotary programs for more information on where you can go and what being an exchange student is like. They're all great programs.

Can university athletes study abroad? I'm an athlete at a D-3 university. How does this work?
I'm going to be a junior next year, but I'm on the volleyball team here. We are, as I already mentioned, a D-3 school. What is the policy for studying abroad if you are an athlete. I'd like to go to England for an Academic year, but I fear that I may not be allowed to. Any info would be great. Thanks. I'm at an American university by the way.
Can university athletes study abroad? I'm an athlete at a D-3 university. How does this work?
Why on earth should a person get preferential treatment because he/she can hit a rubber ball over a nylon net while wearing a bathing suit?
This is what qualifies us for education?
Reply:If you go for an academic year, then you'll miss volleyball. But there's nothing preventing you from going. You do have the option of going for only one academic term, as opposed to the whole year, so you could be around for the volleyball season.

Are there study abroad programs for High Schoolers?
I would like to study in Latin America of Spain to increase my Spanish proficiency.
Are there study abroad programs for High Schoolers?
There are many different organizations that help High Schoolers study abroad. The majority of these cost quite a bit of money, but there are often scholarships you can apply for. The organization I used was CCI (Center for Cultural Interchange) when I studied in Ireland during my Senior Year. It depends on where you go, but the price range is approximately anywhere from 4,000 to 11,000 for a semester or year, depending on the country. Do your research well ahead of time. For CCI you have to submit your application anywhere between January and April. But look at various websites because the information various for each company.
You can also attend Language Schools in different countries, if you don't wish to be away from home for 5 to 10 months and don't want to spend so much money. Language schools often give you a similar experience because you will probably live with a host family, but instead of going to a school to learn different subjects in Spanish, you will just go to class to improve your Spanish specifically.
Reply:I am also planning on going abroad in high school. I've recently been looking into AFS Intercultural Programs. Many of the foreign exchange students that I've met throughout high school have gone through AFS's programs. The website answers most questions and you can even have their catalog sent to your house so you can look through the program offerings. Good luck and I hope I somewhat helped you!
Reply:Yes, there are programs for high schoolers. You should speak with whoever usually plans trips abroad for your school. He or she might know the program and/or point person for a long term study abroad.
Reply:What you want is to be an exchange student. Ask your office if your school district participates in such a program.

What is a good study abroad program that I can practice both Spanish AND Portuguese?
I am a freshman in college that is planning to major in Spanish and minor in Portuguese. I'm just wondering if anybody has any ideas for a location in which I can practice both. So far Seville seems to have Spanish, and is close to Portugal... Are there any other options out there? Thank you!

Where can i get get financial aid to study abroad?
I got a partial schplarship to study in London but i come from a very poor country in Africa and i do nt have anywhere to get the money so iam asking if there is anyone who knows of any financial assistance i can get.
Where can i get get financial aid to study abroad?
Check with your university. They can tell you if there are any scholarships that you can apply for.
You can also check with the school that you are hoping to attend. They may also have sponsors or scholarships available.
Reply:There are a number of scholarships available. A previous writer suggested speaking with the folks running the program and that is a good idea. You might also try using this website http://www.studyabroadfunding.org/ and also http://www.iie.org/ where you will find information about a number of Federally funded scholarship programs for study abroad (Gilman, Fulbright, Freeman Asia etc). Also Michigan State U has a pretty good list of scholarships and aid online at http://www.lib.msu.edu/harris23/grants/3...
Good Luck!

Hi! What majors can I take where I can study abroad and not be behind?
What college majors can I take and not fall behind on by studying abroad for a year or so. I plan to join the Peace Corps and teach english as a foreign language for a year after college, maybe not in that order(since almost anyone can do this). This should start my resume off pretty good, right? But what should my major be? No real interests. Just a major where I can learn a real skill that people pay good money for. I think I'm the same with numbers as I am with words. I want to minor in a foreign language(japanese) as well. I know when I join the PeaceCorps they'll probably put me in China for my 27 months. Please, help a lady out. Thank you so much!
Hi! What majors can I take where I can study abroad and not be behind?
You could do International Business. At my school, with that major you're required to take 12 hours of a foreign language.
Reply:I am studying abroad. I did all four years at the American College of Greece- Deree College. I studied International Business and European Affairs. They have a really good program and you get to study abroad!
Check out their website for more information at www.acg.edu
They also have a linguistics minor, and loads of other interesting minors.
If you are looking for a skill that will pay... i would go into Finance or English. English majors can basically bullshit their way to any job...be it teaching, working for a law firm, or the UN!
Good Luck!

What are some good study abroad programs that are cheap or offer good scholarship programs?
A student in a class I teach (High School) wants to go to Ukraine for a semester, but is battling with the $7000 price tag, he comes from an average family where no low income scholarships could apply.
What are some decent programs that could be on the cheaper side then YFU, etc?
What are some good study abroad programs that are cheap or offer good scholarship programs?
Have him apply for a Fulbright Student scholarship. There are about 20 US students a year who go to Ukraine to study. Here is the website: http://www.fulbright.org.ua/page.php
Reply:There's a great programme in Europe called Erasmus Mundus. It's for non-Europeans only (well, Europeans can participate but they're not entitled for scholarships). It's several European universities that made consortiums and created masters programmes in all areas. They usually offer a VERY good scholarship (fees and living costs included).

Should I, a black female, go to Denmark for the Study Abroad Program?
Hey, i'm thinking about going to Denmark for the Study Abroad program at my school. I'm facinated with the culture but some of my family members do not think it is a good idea to go there because I may experience extreme racism because i'm black. I know racism exists everywhere but should I be extra cautious being a black female in Denmark or are my families worries unjustified?
Should I, a black female, go to Denmark for the Study Abroad Program?
Very good idea to go to Denmark. As a foreigner I must say that I have learnt a lot from Danish way of living.
Reply:I don't think there's any need to be extra cautious. As you said, racism is everywhere and you probably have a good idea of which certain extremist group of people to avoid should you ever happen to see them. The Danes in general tend to be openminded. I've met more rasism while living abroad for 6 years than in all my 27 years of living in Denmark.
Reply:You shouldn't get any trouble, they're nice people, or at least that's what I hear. If you're letting racism get in the way of your hopes and dreams, then you're only allowing them to win the battle. Although I could never fully understand what its like to be a visual minority, I feel your pain through spiritual differences which have made some things difficult. Best of luck my dear!
Reply:Alot of Danish people are racist. I would pick another country if i was you. I've currently been in denmark for a few months now and people here aren't as friendly as they are in the states, they dont like foreigners and its very hard to get a job here. Not to mention how expensive it is, its impossible to buy a car or even rent an apartment. You can give a try, you might end up liking it and might even meet some great people. But your family is just looking out for your well-being. Denmark is filled with blonde hair, blue-eyed danish snobs. But you always look on the bright side their are alot of foreigners here and their quite friendly.
Reply:Yes of course. I am american and took the college program in business myself in denmark and now live here. They are more displeased with people from turkey, bosnia, and so on, but in general they accept everyone. they are very nice people. i say displeased only because of the bad ones that cause trouble in this country but i think you get that everywhere, but my experience is most of them , the muslims that is, are very very nice and as an american they have given me no problems and we respect each other. As for black people there are very few and the ones that do come here love it here as well. Most come from africa i believe and some from the states to play basketball, but danes welcome anyone as long as you follow the rules and try to be accustom to their way. It is not dangerous here at all. Danish women seem to have the upper hand here anyway when it comes to dating and socializing it seems, so i wouldn't worry.
if u need help with immigration or school stuff feel free to email me...by the way it is very difficult for females to make danish girlfriends. they tend to shut people out of their circle of friends since childhood. that may be the only hard thing.
it is also hard to find a job for extra money , but depending on where you go to school i might can help. i started my own company on the big part of denmark...close to århus. i have a lot of students that work for me. but i can help in finding stuff for you and giving you any information , as an american might need.

Reply:I wouldn't worry. They discriminate against none Danes in generally not just Black. I am a white Canadian and I had a rough time living there but I would still recommend the overseas experience. I went to school in Germany when I was younger and it was a very rewarding experience. I do have a friend in Norway that was born in Africa and the guys fall all over themselves to talk to her so you may find that Danish guys find you exotic. There is nothing to be worried about in terms of violence. I found Copenhagen very safe to live in. Like someone else mentioned the more direct racism is more towards Muslim groups.
Reply:Scandinavian people are in love with black people. You'll probably find a good looking Dane to marry
Reply:no you shouldnt be extra cautious...unless you see the muslims there they are out of control...anyway we all experience racism.....im white and experienced it in china.....you just got to go over there and "do it"....get that experience of living in a different area of the world...if you do experience racism you got to think its no big deal and dont worry about it...every race gets descriminated against somewhere in the world
Reply:I don't know, if DIS is the programme, you're considering applying to, but there is the option to contact former students, who could give you first hand information about being American in Denmark.
I don't know, if you can specifically ask for feedback from black students, but if you explain your concerns, I don't see why not.
Reply:there is absolutely no reason for you to avoid Denmark
- it has excellent schools and great cultural herritage -
and thousands of students come to Denmark (Copenhagen in particular) every year - and trust me you won't regret it.
Danes are friendly people, but quite private as well, so they won't interfere with your life in anyway - on a plus side CPH has a great night life and people don't really care what colour is your skin. There are quite a few interracial couples coming by my place of work and nobody turns a head or gives them a funny look.
I really don't see any reason for you not to come to DK.
Just relax and you'll have great time

What time is it best to study abroad in sydney?
I want to attend university of sydney. Should i go for the first semester, second semester? What is the best months to go, with many activities to do?
What time is it best to study abroad in sydney?
If you go for the first semester (Starting late Feb- early March) it is more likely that there will be "O-week" (orientation) events happening, where you can get to know other students, the campus and generally have a good time- 2nd semester most people have already found their friends and know where they are going, and it might not be the same!

Which courses of college study would most likely allow me to study abroad?
Ok, I am in high school, and about to go to college soon. For the last few years of my life, I have always wanted to go to Japan, Italy, and/or South America. I dont know which courses of study would allow me to travel. I want to be an architect eventually, so if that helps influence your answer.
Which courses of college study would most likely allow me to study abroad?
I think any job/career can offer the opportunity to travel/work abroad. Study something you enjoy and have passion for, then finding a job won't feel like work. Take classes in a foreign language as this will open more opportunities for you. I would also check with the student services to see what colleges/universities are affiliated. You can also take work/volunteer experience in the summer to places you are interested in.....and if all else fails, you can also plan a couple backpacking adventures.
Good luck!
Reply:Most colleges have a study abroad program in place where students (regardless of major) can study for a semester or a year in other countries. It's always important to have a basic knowledge of the language spoken at your target destination, so start by taking some Spanish, Italian or Japanese classes depending on where you would like to go. As an architecture major, you should probably take some art history classes that will allow you to understand the different art periods that influenced architecture as a whole.
Make sure you talk to your college counselor or admissions counselor and see whether the university you are planning to attend has a strong study abroad program. Inquire about the different programs they offer and whether they have any requirements.
Good luck!
Reply:We are looking for students to travel and work abroad this summer. We also have a number of other programs that you might be interested in. Check out our web at www.shecana.ca
Reply:Why do you need to wait to be in college to go abroad? Why do you need to take specific courses that will allow to go abroad? You don´t need to wait. You can go this summer and take advantage of wonderful programs that will allow you to learn the language the younger you are the better accent and absortion of everything. I can recommend to you a terrific program that all those students that participated in cam back raving about: HomeStay Spain (www.beautifulspain.com) It´s the perfect program for high school students. Their host families are so carefully screened, they are extrardinary. They can place you in any family of your choice (they will offer a few choices) for a perfect fit. You can participate with a friend or on your own and join the rest of the students participating from all over. They offer great, fun and exciting activities. all included in one single low price. Dont miss the opportunity! Have fun and enjoy!

Reply:Ooh good question, it is more important to find a school that has strong study aboard progams and sister universities in the places you want to go. More important then the major you choose. However, studying a language is always a good choice even if it is a minor.

I can recommend to you a terrific program that all those students that participated in cam back raving about: HomeStay Spain (www.beautifulspain.com) It´s the perfect program for high school students. Their host families are so carefully screened, they are extrardinary. They can place you in any family of your choice (they will offer a few choices) for a perfect fit. You can participate with a friend or on your own and join the rest of the students participating from all over. They offer great, fun and exciting activities. all included in one single low price. Dont miss the opportunity! Have fun and enjoy!

Reply:Ooh good question, it is more important to find a school that has strong study aboard progams and sister universities in the places you want to go. More important then the major you choose. However, studying a language is always a good choice even if it is a minor.

Where is a good Place to study film abroad?
i am abou to graduate film school in august and im wondering if anyone has had any good experience studying film (graduate program) abroad? anywhere will do, just have an urge to get out of the country. Any recommendations? Suggestions? tips?
Where is a good Place to study film abroad?
I'm studying film in Los Angeles,California - After all, Hollywood is ruling the world, these days. Other places that have good film programs are :
New York City, USA
London, England
Paris, France (Good to know French here)
Reply:I guess Mr. Nayim is from India. Bollywood is fine! Anyway, I have two options, and these are not based on urge alone, but on a systematic choice, considering costs, accommodations, etc. There are established film academies - the U.S. or Paris or England.And while studying film, you can also take a look at their theatres and acting schools. They are closely intertwined, and doing a great job.

Should I, a black female, go to Denmark for the Study Abroad Program?
Hey, i'm thinking about going to Denmark for the Study Abroad program at my school. I'm facinated with the culture but some of my family members do not think it is a good idea to go there because I may experience extreme racism because i'm black. I know racism exists everywhere but should I be extra cautious being a black female in Denmark or are my families worries unjustified?
Should I, a black female, go to Denmark for the Study Abroad Program?
I won't lie and say that there aren't any racism in Denmark, but I don't think you have much to worry about, there are the occasional ignoramus, but for most people your skin color will be a good conversation starter. You are in one of the more safe places in the world, but it never hurts using a little dose of healthy caution when exploring (as I would advise anyone to do visiting new unknown places).
You will most likely be taught in English if you attend University and 90% of Danes speaks English so that won't be a problem.
On a side note Denmark is an expensive place to live so if you're short on funds maybe it's not the best place.
Another little advise if you're there for a whole year is buy a bicycle and save a good chunk of money getting around. You can get a good, but cheep bicycle at police auctions.
Hope you enjoy your stay in DK :-)
Reply:One should travel, if only to gain perspective on where you live now. It's worth it. Answers.com amplifies the reading boxes, if nobody noticed, encouraging the elderly to ANSWER clearly. Yes, you should go. Black is not so big, a young female seeing the world is moreso. Stay with a group/friend(s) and travel about. See the world. NEVER play alone away from home.
Never trust "friends" without references in foreign lands. Trust your instincts and you'll be 50% OK.
I feel really good about that 50%, though.
Reply:It is a sophisticated and tolerant country. In fact as an American you might be shocked how tolerant. The first time you go the beach you'll see that if somebody doesn't want to wear a swimsuit, well, they just don't. And by North American standards it is incredibly safe.
Go, enjoy.
Reply:Rascism is not as huge a problem in other democracies as it is in the United States, so I don't think you'll have many problems because of your skin color...
But you might be razzed a bit if you tell them you're an American. (Use the Canadian angle, you'll be treated much better.)
Reply:i understand your families concerns, but like you said, racism is everywhere. don't let people's ignorance stop you from discovering new things, especially a culture that you are interested in. the opportunity is here, don't let it pass!
Reply:Hi, I am russian, born there, and have lived in Denmark almost my whole life, 13 years now. There is some racism in Denmark, but not much, and not as other places. I personally don't think you have anything to worry about, you are safe, it is a very safe country. Also, you are american but black, so you are not from a muslim or such country, and danish people speak good english, so you should have no problems.

Irish and study abroad students?
I am planning on studying abroad this coming semester in Ireland ( in Cork and dublin) and was wondering how the irish tend to take to students from america. Id hate to walk into a pub to have a beer and get hassled or anything of the sort. Any feedback?
Irish and study abroad students?
I live in Cork and most people take very well to tourists......especially Americans!!
Most Irish people are just interested in where you are from and start talking to you
Reply:should be grand if you are not a stereotypical yank.
Reply:I happen to agree with stitcher on this one. But I will add something: If you make a nuisance of yourself, and you attract negative attention to yourself, it will be regarded as your own fault. There are a lot of people from the Middle East living in Ireland, and if you are provocative towards them and they turn on you, don't expect many Irish to be sympathetic to you.
However, this is an extreme case, and thankfully there haven't been many people who have been that foolhardy, ignorant and boorish.
Reply:Somebody somewhere has a lot to answer for. I cannot believe the questions that come from your side of the Atlantic.
If you study here you will be made very welcome and no one will hassle you in a pub or anywhere else unless you are an obnoxious person or behave like a boor. We have lots of people here of all nationalities and it is like anywhere, a very small minority are racist, but most of the time you will not be aware of that.
A little bit of advice: don't ask for a ride it means something far more intimate here! ask for a lift. Don't call the Republic Southern Ireland or Eire.
Just come and enjoy yourself. Welcome
Reply:make yourself known to the locals, you will be made very welcome
Reply:most irish people love americans........well i do anyway....you wont get any hassled at all........lol xxxxx

Wud it be a better experience to stay w/ a host family or other students for summer study abroad in spain?
wud it be a better experience to stay w/ a host family or other students for summer study abroad in spain?
has anyone done either? please share ur experience. thank u :)

HOST FAMILY!!
I have done both in Spain, and I learned a lot more about the culture and the language when I stayed with the family...plus I still communicate with them on a weekly basis...
Reply:It really comes down to personal preferences.
When you stay with students you're with your peers, while when you chose a host family you pretty much become part of that family.
The problem with the host family is that have to conform with their rituals and such, but ic an be a very rich experience if you're interested in such.
The upside, feeling less far away from home because you're part of a family.
Living with other students will give you a wider range of exposure to different things, especially if they're coming from a bunch of different places. Its always nice to have someone to learn with.
Reply:I havn't been to spain but when I went to Japan for a semester I stayed with the other american kids for a few weeks before going to my host family. Both were great experiences, staying with native people is great because you learn more about the culture and you also have way more opportunities to practice the language. And your host family will more than likly do anything to help you learn. Staying with other students was great though because we all could relate, talk and understand each other easily and we became like family. We really missed each other after we got split up. So either would probably be fun but, you'd probably learn more with a host family.
