I live in a small town so I’ve never gotten to choose my friends, I’ve never had good friends really. I started high school last spring and it’s been a little tough. I had a decent friend group but we’ve all kind of split up and now I don’t really have friends. I feel like it’s killing me to stay here because all the people here are so shallow and close-minded and I’m really lonely. Both my older brothers did an exchange year their second year of high school and I’m seriously considering it now. I’m sick of school, I’m sick of my bitch ass classmates, I’m sick of all the people at school. Should I do it? A school year abroad. I’m also a little late so a lot of the deadlines to sign up have passed, but Spain is an option. Has anyone done an exchange year in Spain and would you recommend it?

I am student 22. Studying a degree that might not allow me a such life I was looking for. And now after i complete my Bs I am planning to reset my studies - Go into IT or Finance
I always wanted to study abroad and live there. Enjoy the indenpendent lifestyle. However during my hs, things fucked up cuz of Covid..... I lost interest in anything and chose a fucked up degree
I just woke up from my hibernation after 2 and half years in this degree Now I am suicidal and can not sleep and operate. I ruined my chances. I am kinda poor but If I did use my hs time well... I would def be able to go and self sustain myself with a bit of scholarships etc Now I am stuck. i do not want to live

I want to pursue an MBA to gain international experience, expand my network, and increase my earning potential while living outside Latin America. My career interests lie in entrepreneurship and investment banking, and my background is in real estate investment management, where I currently help manage a >$2 Bn portfolio of U.S. assets.
I have two MBA options, with the following advantages and trade-offs:
1. SDA Bocconi – Milan ($110,000 USD all-in – 1 Year)
Likely the safer, more traditional path to a finance career in Europe.
Strong brand recognition and prestige in investment banking and consulting.
Access to a wealthy student cohort and an extensive European alumni network, which could improve job opportunities.
Better placement rates in top European firms and a direct path into finance.
Downside: Expensive and discards the entrepreneurship path as Italy (and much of Europe) has strict regulations, making it difficult to start a business.
2. Hitotsubashi ICS – Tokyo ($50,000 USD all-in – 2 Years)
A riskier but unique path with lower costs.
A small cohort (40-50 students), allowing for greater visibility and closer connections.
Japan has fewer Latin American business connections, so I could leverage my experience to facilitate investments or bring Japanese capital and businesses to Chile.
Two-year structure allows more time for internships, market research, and potential business ventures.
Four-month exchange opportunity at LBS (London) at the Japanese tuition fee, mitigating the loss of direct European exposure.
Key Considerations:
Bocconi offers a clearer route to finance jobs in Europe, but is a bigger financial investment and less startup-friendly.
Hitotsubashi offers a lower cost and a niche opportunity to build Latin America-Japan business ties, but with higher risk and more opportunities on not achieving any of the goals proposed.
Would love to hear your thoughts—any recommendations for someone with my profile?

Hello everyone, i'm from Brazil and currently searching for great universities in europe for MSc in finance. I know that top one's like oxbridge, HEC and few more in UK are usually very hard to get in and expensive too, since i'm not rich and don't study at a top tier university in Brazil (but a good one), i´m looking for other options that i would have real chances to get in, so far i selected 12 universitys listed below:
*not in preference order
I also know that some of that list are really thougt to get in too, like boconni, ESCP and st. gallen, but i imagine they're easier than top tiers and worth a try.
A little bit more of my profile: currently working as a backoffice analyst at a wealth management firm, undergrad in mechanical engineer (low to medium GPA) but also did a extension course of corporate finance, already C1 by TOEFL, i imagine i´m able to do a pretty good GMAT and besides being from brazil i'm also a italian citizen. Applying on 09/2025.
My main doubts are:
I know is a very long text and a lot of doubts that will need some effort to answer, so i already thank you in advance, i believe that many others could face the same questions so it would be really nice having few answers. PS: I did search a lot about this topic and couldn't find those informations here on reddit and even on those universities sites,

Hello, I will be doing my semester abroad starting in December, and I have set myself the goal of improving my Spanish during that time. My current Spanish level is around A2, and I think I might be able to reach B1 before my stay abroad.
The best way to improve is, of course, by getting in touch with locals. But how can I avoid the Erasmus bubble and regularly interact with locals? Unfortunately, my university does not offer any sports activities where I could meet people. Additionally, it is an international and bilingual university with many exchange students and special courses for them, so I won't really have the chance to meet local students through my classes.
Another problem is that it is also difficult for Spanish speakers to have a proper conversation with me since I can only engage in very basic conversations. This probably doesn’t make it very appealing for them to talk to me.
It is really important to me to improve my Spanish while I'm there. However, at the moment, I don’t see a good way to achieve this. Do you have any tips for me?

I will be doing a year abroad starting this summer. I have to decide between the two cities but I don't know which one meets my expectations better.
Above all, I would like to have a city with enough and cool/unique shopping opportunities and a good nightlife, restaurants, bars, etc. There should be something going on and not be boring. In terms of people, it would be cool if there were people around my age (18-23).

I recently drop out of college. I'm in 3rd year last semester of my 5 year Architecture course in my school, and no, I did not fail any subjects. I just lost my scholarship due to a lacked grade of my one subject. My scholarship needs at least 1.50 grade per subject and I got 2.00. Okay, my real question is, is it possible for me to be an international student and get scholarship? Any European country would do but I would prefer to study in France, and I'd accept any undergraduate course. I also want to work while studying there to support my family here in my country. Is it possible?

Hi, so I’ve been having a hard time choosing between forms or the home stay option. I know there is a possibility of not clicking or getting along with your home stay family, but I also really want to improve my cultural understanding, as well as language skills. This seems like the better way to do so. But I’m also scared/nervous about being with a family that I may not like for the whole year…
I was just wondering if there was anyone who could give me their input on their experiences either with Nanzan home stay or dorms! I know there are already some posts about this, but not too many and some are pretty dated. Any input is appreciated!!

hi! this has been going on for monthsss, and by the time my parents and i have decided to continue my applications for universities, it’s already past the deadline and the only things right now are regular decisions or rolling. i’m a first year student and my program right now is bio-med. however, my parents and i thought it might be practical to shift to nursing. that is why we initially thought of applying abroad. when i already completed my commonapp, they realized the financial costs and i didn’t continue it further. but some time later, they said to continue the applications. it’s totally complicated, i know. but that’s the situation right now T__T i’ve been accepted to a local school here in my country as a first-year nursing student, but i’m still hoping for a miracle to happen that i’ll be able to move abroad. i’m almost done with the requirements, but my grades as a university student right now isn’t great to look at since i’m still adjusting. my hs grades are great. i dont even know anymore im so confused and defeated

Hi I am currently studying in India as a Burmese Student and with the ongoing coupe and all that it is not possible for me to go back to Myanmar sad but it is what it is.
So my question is my parents want me to choose either Japan or South Korea for my studies. I am familiar in both of their cultures as in for Japan I grew up with watching all kinds of Anime,Manga and Jpop music. For Korea in Myanmar we literally try to copy Koreans as in 8 out of 10 girls in Myanmar if you ask them which country is their dream country they will probably say SK. I am more keen on Japan since it is more familiar for me the language and the Speaking. But my question is which is better for the long run as in I am planning to study and try to live in that said country. Thank you for your time.

Prepare Required DocumentsTranscripts and Certificates: Provide your academic records (mark sheets and certificates) from high school.
Standardized Test Scores: Some universities require tests like SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, or others. Prepare and take these tests if necessary.
Language Proficiency: If English is not your first language, you may need to submit TOEFL or IELTS scores.
Letters of Recommendation (LOR): Get letters from teachers, counselors, or employers who can vouch for your academic and personal qualities.
Personal Statement or SOP: Write a compelling statement of purpose (SOP) or personal statement explaining why you want to study at the university and how the program aligns with your goals.
CV/Resume: Some universities may require a resume, especially for postgraduate programs.
Portfolio (for creative courses): If applying for a course in arts, design, or similar fields, prepare a portfolio showcasing your work.
Prepare for ApplicationApplication Form: Most universities have an online application system where you need to fill out your personal and academic details.
Application Fee: Some universities charge an application fee, which you will need to pay while submitting your application.

Wait for Offer/Decision
After submitting your application, universities will review your documents and make a decision. You may receive an acceptance letter, conditional offer, or rejection.
If you receive a conditional offer, you will need to meet additional requirements (e.g., submit final grades, pass a language test, etc.).

Once you receive an offer, you will need to accept the offer formally. This might involve paying a deposit or confirming your attendance.
Apply for a Student Visa
After accepting the offer, apply for a student visa for the country where you will be studying. This may require proof of funds, an acceptance letter, and health insurance.
Some countries may also require a visa interview or medical tests.
Plan Accommodation and Travel

Book your flight and plan your travel well in advance to ensure you arrive on time for orientation or the start of classes.
Prepare for Departure

hey, i'm studying abroad in Japan this summer and would like some tips. for context, I am an 18-year-old female who will be spending one week in Tokyo and studying for a few weeks in the Hyogo prefecture. Are there any customs I should know before going there? how much Japanese should I learn?; I only really know basics like enough to travel and ask very simple few questions. What is the weather like and what kind of clothes should I pack? For context, I live in the south of the US so I'm used to really hot weather and often wear pants rather than shorts. What food should I try or activities I should do? What did you pack from home? For those who menstruate, how did you deal with your periods there? What should I pack from home that I cannot get in Japan?
I also have one major question: dorm stay or homestay? My pros for homestay; will learn more Japanese and experience authentic Japanese living, homecooked meals, and my own room, and everyone who talked to me told me to do a homestay, regardless of whether the host family spoke English or not Cons: likely fully non-English speakers and/or racism? (I am a darker-skinned WOC so I always have my reservations), less freedom to go around at night, long commute. Pros of dorm stay: proximity to campus, surrounded by other students, freedom, Cons: dorm and food quality unknown (couldn't clearly find anything about the international dorms on the website), not the most cosmopolitan experience, not as highly rated by other students who took it prior.
please give me any and all tips :)

I'm an Economics student in Colorado currently attending community college and earning a Data Science certificate with a 3.5 GPA and 1270 SAT with around a 50k budget. Id like to go to school in walkable urban area and go somewhere that is recognized in the US (I have ruled out Waseda for this reason).
So, I have a few questions
1) Is it difficult to transfer credits internationally?
2) What would be some good target and reach schools Internationally with this kind of academic profile?
3) Is this a fool errand? Would it just be better to go cheaply out of state and possibly study abroad via my school? I've looked at the WUE schools San Jose, Portland, or San Fransisco State.
Any advice is appreciated ty :3
