Well for a start who going to support you in the USA? the government won't. Have you got money to support yourself in the USA? your under age not an adult who going to be responsible for you there? have you got health Insurances? all these questions have to be taken into acount.

start in junior college and major in elementary education depending on the state and location. so talk to a student advisor at any of the colleges or universitys..

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

There are so many choices.  You should really consider what your goals are.  Like the Cheshire Cat said to Alice, (I'm paraphrasing) "If you don't know where you're headed, it doesn't matter which road you take."\n\nIt seems like one thing to consider is whether the study abroad program will help you accomplish your degree goals.  That depends a lot on what your major is.  You can start by talking to the advisor in your major department.  After all, you don't want to spend all this tuition money on a study abroad unless it will help you do SOMETHING.\n\nYour school might also have a study-abroad office that has worked with students from your major before, so you should definitely talk to them too.  They can make recommendations.  The school might also have programs that are designed to help students from your school specifically.  Those are good to check out, but they are not the only options.  There are also grant programs that help students pay for their study abroad.  For example, a program that helps students study in Germany is the DAAD (www.daad.org).\n\nIn my case, I looked at my upcoming situation in the summer of 2002 and said, "I've been studying Spanish for a year, and I have some money and time.  Why don't I study in a Spanish-speaking country this summer?"  I searched the 'net for study-abroad programs and ended up making contact with a small university in Mexico City.  They helped me find a family to stay with while I was there (I paid rent for the room and breakfast) and I took classes at that school.  It definitely gave me the experience I was looking for: strengthening my Spanish skills and getting to know Spanish-speaking culture.  So, in my case, I feel that I had a successful study-abroad experience that I was able to arrange on my own and not through the school.  I'm quite a risk-taker, so it wasn't scary to me to do this on my own.  However, if you go with a program from your school, it might be a little more familiar.\n\nOn the other hand, as a friend of mine commented, if you go with a program from your school, you spend a lot of time with people from your school, unless you're willing to branch out and meet new people on your own.\n\nAlso, I have to admit that, going on my own to Mexico, I probably spent at least as much or more money than I would have spent with the pre-arranged program.\n\nI'm studying German now and I am thinking of going abroad next summer too, so obviously I had such a good experience that I'm willing to repeat it.

Take a foreign language, all the advanced courses you can get, and get an allowance from your parent that doesn’t just include books and food.  You will need to blow off some steam now and then (don’t use that dreaded word “party”).  Allow some budget room to hire tutors, and don’t be afraid to admit that you may need help.  For me a Physics Tutor meant the difference between an A and a D.\n\nCheck out the introduction courses offered by your college, and take them first.  Some colleges offer an introductory seminar and that would be most helpful.  Try to at least visit the campus before school starts.  Learn your way around campus.  Check out the bookstore and price the books that you will need for your classes, try and get them before class starts and at least read the introduction to them.\n\nA car, moped or even a bicycle can be helpful.  It will get you around faster and easier.\n\nLook at the extracurricular activates available.  They can help you blow off steam, and learn more about your favorite hobbies.  An honor society can give you an edge in school and when you are looking for your first job.  But, don’t let all that is available over whelm you, especially booze.  Find your limit and don’t go past it.  Falling down stinking drunk may seem like fun, but it isn’t.  The physical after effects aren’t worth it—isn’t cool to wake up with a hangover.  Doing stupid things while drunk may seem fun at the time, but the people who are laughing, are laughing AT you not WITH you.\n\nGet a book on speed-reading and read ALL of it.  It will help you a LOT.\n\nA computer with Internet access will be essential.  You should also have antiviral software and a program like Microsoft Office.  To do your papers (ah, spell check is sooo useful), a Power Point Presentation will make your project come alive, and Excel can make an accounting class a breeze.   Learning to touch type and it will make things a lot easier.  If you have a notebook you better have a good lock (to secure it when you are out), and require a password to gain access.  There is a good secure system that sounds an alarm when the computer goes more than 20’ away from you.  You will have to keep your notebook with you (on your body) at all times that you are out with it.  That computer could mean beer money for a month to a thief.\n\nYou must realize that you have left high school and childhood behind.  You have now entered the professional world.  For each hour of college credits you take you will need to spend AT LEAST two hours studying.  Things will be easier in a Junior College, but in a real top of the line college you will need to study even for a P.E. class, and expect written tests!  College is now your JOB, and it’s a professional job.  Look at the hours young lawyers have to put in, or architects and engineers.  You must approach college as if it is that kind of a job.  You can play some games and goof off now and then, but put the X Box, Game Boy and Nintendo away.  Bring only a couple of computer games with you and resolve to not spend more than an hour playing them each day.  Don’t bring a TV for at least for the first year.  You will need the time to study.\n\nFinally enjoy yourself.  Have fun, make new friends, do some things that you couldn’t do at home.  Take your fun to your classes, ATTACK your courses.  Be aggressive; ask the teacher when you don’t understand.  Sit near the front of the class so you don’t miss things.  Read your assignments BEFORE the class covers it.  Take good notes and form (or join) a study group.  For the next four years (or more) this will be your LIFE.  Go at it with gusto and win!  With this attitude you will be a success and have more fun doing it.  All the hard work may not seem to be worth it, but every good job requires a LOT of study.  Even plumbers have to go through an apprenticeship period, before they earn those top salaries.  A college degree is the MINIMUM you will need to enter th

There is a lot of money out there for schooling. You have to put in the initiative to find it. I am on the East coast of the US and I know of very successful people from Ethiopia who are hear doing their studies. First look up scholarships that you qualify for as a student your age. You need to start looking online at some colleges you would want to get your education at, and what you have to do as an international student to get in. I can help you further with research because I am doing a graduate school/scholarship search for myself right now. Email me and I can help you further. sama784@yahoo.com

The American education system requires that students complete 12 years of primary and secondary education prior to attending university or college. This may be accomplished either at public (or government-operated) schools, or at private schools. These 12 years of schooling (or their equivalent) may also be completed outside the USA, thus giving foreign students the opportunity to pursue the benefits of the American education system and obtain a quality American education. Perhaps one of the most impressive facts is the large number of presidents, prime ministers and leaders from other countries who have experienced the American education system and graduated from a university or school in the USA. In many fields and industries, the American education system offers the most cutting-edge, sought-after programs at the world's best schools. That is why graduating from an accredited American school and being exposed to the rigors of the American education system is an investment in your future.\n\n \n\nWhether you want to study at a top USA university, a top USA college, or at a USA  ESL, vocational or high school, a thorough understanding of how the American education system works is essential. Without a clear grasp of the American education system, an international student will find it difficult to make the right academic choices. The information provided in the Overview of the American education system section will help you develop that understanding. You can also search our list of top universities, colleges, community colleges, graduate schools, and boarding schools in the American education system. It is no surprise that the American education system and the American school system hosts more international students than any other country in the world!\n\n \n\nYou can learn more about specific areas of the American education system and the American school system (high school, access to college, the USA unit system, school accreditation, liberal arts education, associate degrees, bachelor's degrees, master's and PhD degrees) by clicking on the links on the left of this page. The American education system offers students the widest study options in the world!

I think your best bet is to look into a student visa. Go through a list of American colleges that you would like to attend and look at their websites. Each website will have a section to mention their stand on International students. Most colleges need to fill a quota for international students so they do offer scholarships, and being admitted to one of these schools will allow you to apply and receive a student visa while you are studying in college. hope this helps.

like the previous posters said 17 or 18, because that is the age they are when they graduate from high school. if you have already completed whatever london's equivilant of our highschool is then you would qualify for entry into college anywhere in the states

Juilliard, Oberlin, University of Minnesota, Iowa State University, University of Alaska Fairbanks, UCLA, or Berkeley. You really do need at least 3 years of a foreign language!!! I strongly urge you to visit the campuses of the schools you want to go to. You may find that even though it is a good school, that you just do not like it there. You need to study in a place where you are comfortable! I have a Bachelor of Music degree in vocal performance. Now, even though I study entertainment law I have worked professionally as a singer/actor since I was 2 years old, doing shows such as Sesame Street to movies such as Under Siege. You need to practice, practice, practice. Pay close attention to your studies, always. Also, LISTEN. Listen to every recording you can that involves your instrument. Half of performing is the ability to listen.\nI wish you the best of luck!

you need the TOEFL and the SAT and possibly the ACT (for southern schools) to study in the US. SAT is no use for any other country, it's an american thing.\n\nAfter you got a good score on the SAT, you need to send that with your high-school grades + other stuff like essays and whatnot to the Univs of your choice. If they accept you, they will give you a form that will allow you to go apply for a student visa.\n\nBut remember - University is ridiculously expensive in the States. In your country you barely pay anything, in the cheapest univs of USA you have to pay about 10,000 US$ per year. Think about that.
