Help with Study Abroad? ?

Russel Gajate: Check with your school. Most colleges have a study abroad department that allows for some kind of enrollment package where you'd be able to study at a sister school of some kind, where you can either pay less or pay regular tuition to the institution abroad. There's an example of such programs in the sources.

Raymon Fiene: go to australia its worth every penny you most likely wont get to be able to afford to return there so do it

Luis Farlow: Ireland? Great Britain is best for foreign education so you should make arrangements to come there. Australia's education system is questionable. Ireland has less educational facilities than Britain. The journey to Britain will be cheaper as your flying to a main terminal like London Heathrow.

Caroyln Ebach: http://rotary.org/en/StudentsAndYouth/YouthProgram...I was a Rotary Exchange Student last year and I LOVED it. It is one of the most reputable people to go to for an exchange because they only wan! t you to learn about the culture of the country. If you didn't know already, the Rotarian s are the people that went door to door giving people the polio vaccination and that is one of their main goals; to irradiate polio. My exchange didn't cost me that much. All you need to pay for are personal expenses such as new clothing you may want and going out to partied. Before you leave, you have to fund your passport, visa, and plane ticket which isn't expensive and most companies make you do that anyways. Other than that, the Rotary program is virtually free. Your hosting rotary club in the country you choose will pay for your tuition, books, and uniform. Your host family feeds you, takes you back and forth to school, and show you the culture. You can either do a short term exchange for 3-6 weeks in the summer, or a long term exchange, which is one academic year. (10 months) I went to Brazil with not a word of Portuguese in my brain and I was fluent by the time I left. So don't! worry about the language. Some countries will make you pass a! fluency test periodically throughout the year to make sure you are serious and are trying to learn the language, but most don't care that much. Once you get there, you will learn quickly. The only thing about Rotary is that they will not let you go to another English speaking country. It is very seldom that they do this, and I only heard of one girl doing an exchange to the U.K. :( But learning the language is all part of the fun and you will enjoy trying enough. It helps though if you already know Spanish or French, because those are the most commonly spoken languages in the countries you will be sent to. Have fun, and make contact with your local Rotary Club, ASAP! They will take late applications usually so it isn't a big deal....Show more
