College students!

[Steerpike]

And at the moment, I know studying abroad seems like a matter of money and signing up for classes and trudging through the bureaucracy of getting youself a visa, but dedicating a chunk of your life to a new world is so much more than that.
Your senses will truly feast on the grandure of places beyond your home in so many ways. The people you meet can turn from strangers to being integral parts of your experience there as some of the best friends you will ever have. The romance is just waiting to be realized (I met my girlfriend, another student, in Italy) and there are fewer more inspiring venues for love than a new and invigorating country and culture. There are difficulties and pain sometimes bearing down just as inevitably as there are at home, and each hurdle molds a more capable person.

Studying abroad is a concentration of the bliss and the struggle of an entire lifetime into just a fraction of your life.

In my younger days, I would have loved to study in Wales... However, I joined the Navy, got stationed with the Marines, and spent a total of 14 months studying local Iraqi customs and traditions... Does that count as studying abroad?

I'm still in high school, but I have a question for you college goers. Did you ever think of going out of country for college? Because I'm considering it, any help and suggestion and tips

I hear it's a little depressing. Kinda lonely. My ex did that. She was from Beijing and always missed her family while she was here

[NyghtHawk]

Thought about it but I started college married (don't recommend that) and so I kinda had to ignore study abroad. However I have had a few friends do it and they said they enjoyed it profusely.

I was married in college. Sure you won't do some things but that was fine by me. Wouldn't change how I did it.

Graduated from CSU Northridge with a BA in Psychology and currently working on my MS in Marriage Family Therapy there.
Great school with a well known program around here, I'm basically at the halfway point (it's a 2.5 year program).

I'm often tired, but find the work incredibly rewarding.

I highly recommend junior college / community college (whichever it's called) I wish I had gone to a JC right out of high school instead I did one year at a state school and one year at a junior college and saved a ton of money.

Gen Eds are pretty much the same boring courses anywhere, so why not save some money? Plus I think if you do well in those 2 years it really helps during the transfer your junior year

I still have to wait 2 years to complain about college...class of 2015. Although I am taking a lot of college courses and getting credits. I am taking English 1510, Calculus, AP Microeconomics and AP Biology so I will have a lot of credits just in my Junior year in High School.
