Most people who say that (particularly people who use the "best time of your life" phrase) are displaying their "selective memories."  There will definitely be some wonderful experiences, but there will be some not-so-great ones too.  \n\nThe "good" times can usually be attributed to the friends that you make and the extracurricular things you do.  "The bad" may have to do with classes, awful rommates, etc. Hopefully, the good will outweigh the bad. Sometimes, you may experience a whole semester or a whole year of "bad" followed by a full year (I'm thinking Senior year) that ends up being so packed with fun that it seems to make up for all the bad that came before it... \n\nBut, you know, *life* is made up of good and bad experiences, so you might do well to experience both now rather than later.  If you are at all ambitious, you will (and probably should) take a few classes that make you want to pull your hair out.  Consider this "the bad"  but remember that this is (theoretically) your primary reason for attending college in the first place. (If you all you want to do is party, why pay tens of thousands of dollars to do it when you could do it for free in your parents' basement...)

The general idea of in-state tution is that it is offered to students who reside in the state in which the school is located.  As an international student, you clearly don't reside "in state," and therefore will not qualify for in-state tution.  \n\nI think there may be some schools that do offer some sort of reduced tution for internation students, and some countries that provide subidized higher education will provide partial funding for students studying in a foreign country.  If your current school as any sort of career counselor they would most likely be able to provide information about any such programs.

You can always qualify for financial aid even if you made too much money. The difference is that you will have to pay for it and the interest when you're done with school.  Also, you can only qualify if you at least go to school with a part time load. \n\nOnline college is only a good bet if it's in the same state your living in, otherwise you'll be paying out of state tuition, which is most of the time as much as 5 times more expensive. Have you thought of a community college?

The major disadvantage is that you will have another class or classes taking up your time and giving you more homework and making you tired when you don't have to take them.  On the other hand, taking classes outside of your major can be very interesting-- refreshing, stimulating, and it can open you up to things you never even knew existed.  It can make you more well-rounded, too, a good trait for anyone.

Go to a real local college in your state rather than some nameless one in what you think is a cooler place.  You can get away after you get an education.

The pros of a private college is name recognition. People tend to think that private colleges = better education. Class size is usually small as well.\n\nThe cons? Chances are you can get an equally effective education at a public university. The expenses are unreal, and unnecessary. I paid a little over $2,100 in tuition and fees this semester. Tuition and fees *only* for private colleges runs approximately 3 times that.

It depends.  If you have financial contraints to go to college, you might have to work before going to college.  If you can afford it and want to go to college, it's better to go straight to college from high school so you're not distracted by anything else.  Procrastination can prevent you from finishing college.

It's a matter of personal preference. If you want to go away for the experience or to a particular college away from home then you should go for it. On the other hand if it really doesn't matter, some colleges closer to home can be less expensive. Either way you're starting a new journey and hopefully you'll get the most out of it.

Its a state college, its not that hard to get into but there is a higher tuition fee for the out of state students.  If you do decide to attend here after a year, if you've gotten yourself a job and an apt off campus, you can claim residency and pay the lower instate tuition.\n\nHeres a link to the schools web site\n\nhttp://www.utk.edu/

An obvious advantage is that you don't have to commute into Manhattan.  The flip side of this argument is that commute time can be used for study.\n\nThe main advantage to living on any campus is that you are always in tehe academic environment.  You are surrounded by other students.  This is a social advantage, but also an intellectual advantage -- as you can turn to others when you need to talk about your schoolwork.

Its a tremendous responsibility, but well worth it.  You learn how to get yourself up in the mornings, pay your bills each month, meet lots of new people, etc.  You don't want to live with your parents forever, and going to college is a great place to "test your wings."  You can always transfer to a smaller college closer to home if you find you took on too much too soon.\n\nGood luck!

You just have to move there and set up a residency.  Sometimes they will just want to see a local drivers license and some bills in your name at your address.  You do not have to be a resident to attend college in any state (including Community Colleges), but it is a LOT cheaper if you are a resident of the state or county.  Check the admissions and financial aid requirements, because some colleges due require a minimal amount of time in the state before you are eligible for in-state tuition.

Constantly tired.\n2. Don't have much time to enjoy yourself.
