Is anyone else looking to study outside the US? (Or wherever it is you're from)
Personally, I'm from the US and would LOVE the opportunity to study abroad for all four years of my undergraduate education.
So, if there are others like me, can you fill out the following?
Current grade in high school
Intended major
Foreign universities you're considering and their countries
Domestic universities you're considering
Any other comments
I'll go first then
Grade: I'm currently a Sophomore
Major: I want to major either in International Business, computer graphics, or genetics
Foreign Universities: I'm looking at APU (Japan), Waseda (Japan), Sophia (Japan), ICU (Japan), U. of Edinburgh (UK), HKU (Hong Kong), Yonsei (Korea)
Domestic Universities: In America I'd be looking at U. of Pennsylvania, U. of Washington (Seattle), UC Berkeley, Georgetown
Comments: I LOVE LOVE LOVE Languages, but have thus far only had a chance to learn one (currently studying Japanese). My only concern would be the academic challenge of a university abroad. I want an intellectually stimulating college experience and I know the universities abroad will give me that language-wise, but what about the other subjects? A lot of the English programs are administered not just to native English speakers from abroad but domestic students that're not quite on that level. Like I know, for example, that Waseda is a top university in Japan, but that's for the Japanese students. For the foreign students (in the English-speaking SILS program), the work is known to be a joke.
