Well, an international high school that is US accredited would be able to guide your class choices so you don't have to take so many "make-up" classes.  I would say that it would also help with your English, but your English is excellent.\n\nThe most important thing is that the guidance counsellor would be familiar with the US colleges, and helping students get into them.  And many of your classmates may be US-college-bound (and have older siblings who have gone to college in the US), so they can give you advice and help.\n\nThe absolute best situation is to spend your last year of high school *in* a high school near the college you want to go to.  You could take night classes from the college even in high school.  And colleges often have a discount tuition for "resident" students -- that means students who have been living in the state for xx months.  You could do this as a foreign exchange student either your last year, or after you finish your high school.\n\nIt depends very much on the college you want to go to, though.  You should contact their admissions office, and find out the details.

Advantages - learn the nature of competition, learn to socialize, learn teamwork, looks good on college applications\n\nDisadvantages - if you don't know what you're doing or there's an accident you could get hurt

well studying in a rich country's university especially the famous ones defenitely is a big advantage... especially in terms of landing your ideal high paying jobs of your field. of all the applicants, corporations will tend to hire the ones coming from reputable universities with average grades rather than the ones with high grades but of universities they havent heard of... so that being, it would surely be a good boost to your credentials to have graduated from these famous universities from rich countries (so if you have can afford it, or have the brains to get scholarships for it, i would say it isnt a bad choice to do so)...in this competitive world, one could surely use a leverage from others...but dont think that's all what it takes to succeed though, you still have to have good personality and needs to work hard to achieve your goals...

This question is country-specific and university specific. But I would say its very competitive and they only give them out after one semester of exams and that the international student does very well (usually has to be top of class).\n\nUnless, you are an outstanding scholar in your own country who can win international scholarships like Rhodes, Fulbright, Commonwealth-based, government agency funded scholarships.\n\nDepends on your chosen area as well, with hard sciences and mathematics dominating the funding areas.

The first question is, what country do you want to go for your graduate? Your own or a foreign country? If you are "remarkably intelligent," you should be able to figure that out. Usually, people go for "rich, developed countries" like US and UK. After that, find universities that give out financial aid for international students and have your majors or whatever it is you want to study, then try to meet their standards for a foreign student (again, you are intelligent, right?). Aim high, usually private and/or pricier schools have scholarships. When they accept and look at your income, which is low, I guess, they often will give you some kind of financial aid, such as scholarships, loan, in-campus jobs...\n\nGood luck,\n\nA foreign student currently studies in the US

First:\nIt seems that you are an English native speaker from the US. You might consider a semester or full year in another English speaking country, like Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and other countries. That way you would not run into the language issue and you might have less trouble in getting credits for your studies.\n\nSecond:\nCheck with your school about exchange programs. Ask your counselor what he or she would suggest and ask them WHY. Have your causes why you want to go abroad well prepared for this discussion. \n\nOther than that I suggest to go as early as possible. That way you have a chance to repeat the experience if you would like to.

I studied abroad for a month when I was in college.  I didn't know until right now that it was through an AIFS program.  At any rate, it was a very valuable experience, especially if you've never left the country before.  I went to London and learned a lot.  Much of my learning experiences were more cultural than anything I learned in class.  If you have the opportunity and can afford to go abroad, it is definitely worth it.  My experience nearly five years ago and its something that is very vivid in my memory and I will never forget it.  Have fun!

Do you mean who would reap the benefits more. Of course the USA. Competition: If you don't have a college education you don't go far in this country. I don't see that as being a bad thing, more like a motivator. Geez! Don't yell. You should have said that in the first place. Politically USA more on Mexico.

It's easy to get a scholarship internationally. All you have to do is search the scholarship sites for that country which you wish to study in. The University you are applying for as well, should have some scholarships available for international students. Contact  the Univeristy you wish to go to and ask them about it, they will be able to tell you more infomation than i can.  I dsay as long as the scholarhsip applicatiom form doens't say "For Canadian Studnets Only" or "For American Students Only" they're all fair game. Good Luck!

All I know is most international students studying law in the US get an LL.M.  \n\nYour question is a little vague.... but studying the law of a completely different country might not help you too much (besides adding to your analytical reasoning skills).

Ignore the ignorance of the man above me's post, and if you wish to come to America to pursue an interest in a study, you'll have to have good grades, and a student visa if you are of studious normal age and if not a temporary visa that can be retrieved through the department of immigration.

It depends on what undergraduate program you are studying.  Colleges are very expensive, but you may catch a break for being from abroad.  You can start by researching your local programs through colleges in your home country.  They will have a better understanding of what you will need to make it in the US.  Also, consider Semester at Sea.  I can't think of a better way to spend a few months than seeing multiple countries, rather than just one, and getting an excellent education at the same time!

depends on the course you want to do and the university you chose i suppose. seems nowadays more people are being encouraged to go into higher education in the UK so the entry standards are being lowered. from what i can grasp from international students (US) they attend more classes and sit more exams. exams are not really real tests of knowledge so i am led to believe! So English uni get my thumbs up anytime.

You would only pay either the in-state or out-of-state tuition.  Not both.  If you do not live in the US, you will be paying the higher tuition.  Most places have classes priced by credit hour.  So, if you wanted to go part-time, it would be cheaper.  The other fees are in addition to tuition.  So, you will be paying for tuition + room and board + technology fees + books and so on.  Hope that helps.

Hey look, if you don't try you won't see any difference. By the way, seems like you're a very prolific student. \nWhat I would recommend to you is to:\nlook for help\ntalk to any adviser and an experienced student who has gone abroad from your university\nlook for scholarships: http://faswtweb.com, for example.\ngather information, ask about anything you have in mind.\n\nLook, nothing is complicated once we try it out. I wish you good luck and hopefully you try it, have a chance to experience the world in different ways.\nMany students don't have the doors open to the opportunities you have in hands right now. So, take advantage of those before they go to the trash can...
