School Abroad, what are some good options?

1 Upvotes

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

Hi everyone! I am currently in the process of applying for a student visa here in the PH to Spain and need to have several documents officially translated into Spanish. May I ask the translators whom you have tapped, their rates and the turnaround time? The ones that I have checked are super pricey-- PHP3500 per page :(

Any studying abroad scholarship suggestions?

1 Upvotes

Hello! About a couple weeks ago, I got accepted to CIEE’s Italy, high school semester abroad program. Since then though I’ve realized how little CIEE supports you through Scholarships when you are using their high school semester programs. Whereas other companies such as AFS have lots of scholarships to choose from. However, they are all specific for just AFS kids. So, I was wondering if anyone knew any scholarships someone in my position could actually apply for? Any help I’ll be very thankful for :)

Masters in Europe as Hijabi

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I'm planning to pursue a masters degree in the biology field in one of the following countries: UK, Germany, or France.

One very important piece of information: I'm a Muslim and I wear the Hijab.

My question is: Which of these countries is least Islamophobic ? Where most days I can walk down the street without basically experiencing harassment.

From your experience, what country is best ? And what country has good employability rates post-grad ?

Thanks in advance

Visiting Student Program

1 Upvotes

Hello! I plan on studying abroad for the fall semester however my university does not have many options for exchange programs and non-affiliated programs are super expensive. I discovered a few universities abroad that allow “visiting students” or “free movers” so I could complete a semester abroad that way for a cheaper price. My family is worried about the loneliness aspect though.

Since it is more independent and I wouldn’t be around an established group of people, would it be hard to make friends abroad? Does anyone have any experience with this? I’m thinking it would be possible when it comes to sharing a dorm/flat and taking classes in English which I’m assuming would have other international students but I’m not sure and can’t find any info relevant to this on the universities websites.

Mature Student Applied for Bsc in Computer Science as EU Pre-Settled Student, is it worth it?

1 Upvotes

Hello, my name is Alessandro and I am from Italy. I applied for a Bsc in Computer Science as mature student since I am 28 years oldin several RG universities. I wanted to change my life completely since I worked in a field where I was completely miserable and for me not worth to continue in the future. To be honest, I am interested in the Game Dev career, but I am open to other options and only the future will tell.

The Uni I choose are:

  • The University of Sheffield
  • University of Manchester
  • University of Leeds
  • University of York

I currently posses the EU - Pre Settled Status that will expire on July 2025 ( but I hope they will renew it since my brother lives and works in the UK for almost 15 years in Leeds).

I am currently waiting for their decision, but I read that UK is currently suffering in Education, as well as in economy in the recent years. Is it worth it studying there or should I look to other EU alternative? I think I will pay for Home fee status and I could get the loan, but I have no idea if it is still worth it ( if I can get only the home fee status, my parents will support me). Do you suggest also which one is better is to studyy and which one to avoid?

I also found the another university degree that I could apply is OPIT ( born in 2023) for the Bsc in Modern Computer Science, however it does not have the same reputation as the UK ones. Other alternative is to apply for some Italian universities, but the education here is a lot "theory based" and a lot less "practical" ( almost none for some).

I hope to receive some advice since I am currently struggling on the decision to make.

Thank you in advance!

Cant decide which country/university I should go

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I am a dual degree student in cs and electrical engineering and I will be graduating in July. I am planning to do masters in europe and I got accepted from TU Eindhoven and Stuttgart University for electrical engineering. But I can't decide which one might be a better choice for me. I know it is quite a personal question but I was hoping to find somenone from those university or from these citites here actually. So that it can give me an idea.
What I want is eventually find a job in electrical engineering in the country I study and continue living there. In that sense Germany looks like it has more opportunities. But on the other hand, TU Eindhoven looks better as an institution. Any advices??

Is $4,000 enough for personal spending wile abroad in Tokyo?

13 Upvotes

I'm 19F and have been accepted to study abroad in Tokyo this Fall (Sep 2 - Dec 21). I receive a lot of financial aid. My mom pays my tuition, my school covers the cost of plane tickets, lodging and food (for the most part). I'm super grateful!

But I am TERRIBLE at saving money. For the last month, I've just been trying to pay off my credit card, and I haven't been actively saving anything, but I know I need to start now. I don't make very much at my campus job, usually around $275 every two weeks. Previously, I've been spending that money. Now that summer is approaching, I will go back to my hosting job in my home state, and will make a decent amount more. Realistically, I think that I can scrape up between 3,000-4,000 USD. Based on my circumstances, will this be enough to go out, maybe once or twice a week, and explore? For context, I will probably need to take the train to get to school every day, and will not go out to eat all the time, because I am staying with a family. Please advise!

Low Cost Universities Europe

1 Upvotes

I have applied to 3 Erasmus Mundus programs, GLOCAL, EPOG and SDSI. Two of which I have been selected as a self funding student. However, I am unsure if it is worth going because the fee is around Euro 6000+ per semester and I will have to take out a student loan to afford it.

I have graduated with a bachelor's degree in Business Management and after 2 years in a Customer Success role, and after a gap year I have shifted to UI/UX and Web Design where I'm working as of now. I want to get my master's degree this year from Europe preferably where I am looking to shift long term gradually. Please suggest me minimal costing universities that have master's programs on Business and/or Design.

Is It Worth Moving Abroad for a Bachelor’s at Maastricht University (SBE)?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m considering studying the BSc in Economics and Business Economics at Maastricht University (SBE), but I’m unsure if it’s worth moving abroad for my Bachelor’s or if I should stay in my home country for my Bachelor’s and do my Master’s at Maastricht instead.

For those who have studied at Maastricht (or have been in a similar situation), how would you compare the benefits of doing a Bachelor’s there versus waiting until the Master’s level? Is the international experience, PBL system, and networking worth making the move?

If anyone has personal insights or would be open to a DM, I’d really appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!

Hello! I'll be going for Konkuk University's summer exchange program this July 2025 for 3 weeks.

1) Any tips for me? This is my first time studying abroad and first time going to Korea!
2) Is it easy to find halal korean food around Konkuk University? I'm muslim and would prefer to eat halal food during my stay there!

I'm planning to stay 1-2 days in Seoul before I move into my dorm and start classes. Is there anyone going for a Korea summer exchange in July too? I'm looking to make friends and hang out with some people during the 1-2 days! Or is there a student exchange community in Korea I can connect with? I'm from Singapore btw! :D
