Foreign Universities
Hi!
Are there any Americans on here that have gone to/are going to college in a different country? Like, not just for a semester or year. I’ve seriously been thinking about doing this because 1. It’s cheaper, 2. I want to improve my French, 3. I am very interested in other cultures & I want to major in Global Studies or something
I was thinking Quebec, like Concordia or McGill because I don’t know of any other English-speaking colleges there, and then doing a year or so in France. But I know that college works differently in other countries, like, people go to a two-year school after high school and only 3 years of college or something, and nobody lives on campus... And my college counselor doesn’t seem to know anything about going to college abroad so she’s no help.
It would be very helpful if you could tell me about your experiences, especially if you transferred from a US school to one in a foreign country. I’m not in college yet but there is a lack of info out there about this specific topic; I guess it’s very uncommon for Americans to enroll in a school in another country. Thanks!

Someone please help me I can’t wait another two months for admission decisions....
realizing it's coming up to university admissions season, and that as a recent undergrad/current grad student, i actually may have some hopefully useful insight?
anyhow, feel free to send me, a random internet person, an ask, whether you're stressing about choosing a major, that annoying 'Why X University' question, SAT scores, (not sure if that's relevant anymore because of COVID) reach/target/safety schools, or just general advice on how to student/how to adult.
“please let me in im smart and funny i promise”
wish my personal statement could just say 'let me in please i prommy im nice' and the universities just let me attend.
