I’m an American and I took a gap year (well two years) and I’m trying to go back. I want to do something a little daring (also my community college is going to shit) and I applied for school in England and got a partial scholarship but it fell through because I got laid off and my mom needed help.

I’m thinking about trying to do it again especially because school in the mainland is just as pricey as it is abroad. Someone told me Spain and France are cheaper but what about language requirements? Which one is more accommodating? I’m looking and there is a lot of conflicting information so I thought maybe an Americans who did this might know

Hii,

Rida's here. I'm writing my career plan and to be honest I'm bit confused how to put my career plan like there's condition of returning to country after completing chevening tenour so should I mention my plans relevant to my country?

And what if it isn't my plan then? Can I freely mention other countries ' companies or project there?

I am currently in my last year of high school and I want to know which countries are the best to study in abroad. Currently I'm from a lower income country so unfortunately I cant afford the top locations.

I want to study EE or mathematics

>The programs I found are in English

After doing some research I have narrowed it down to:

-Germany

-Hungary

-Malaysia

-Japan

-Czechia

I want to ask people who have studied in these countries or maybe taught in these countries how is the style of education is it more self taught like European universities or hands on where its like a USA style based teaching and you can ask questions directly to the professor ( as in have one in one convos). How is the quality of education? Since I have concerns from countries like japan that their mathematics aren't that strong so I would love to hear more in depth opinions. Last thing about the uni(s) itself how is the uni life is there. Are there student events that make the atmosphere feel lively? Are students encouraged to interact with each other and is there clubs?

Moreover the day to day life in said country how easy would it be for an english speaking person to get around the cities/towns. Is it safe for women to be walking alone at any time of day? I can't think of anymore in depth questions for day to day life but if anyone could share their personal experience I would love to hear it!

Furthermore how easy would it be to get a job with that degree from said country am I able to find well paying starting jobs in the country itself or abroad like in gulf countries

I apologize if my questions seem a bit generic but I really cant find honest opinions online from people who actually studied or lived there.

How is it like studying in Poland? How is the social life. Cuz i don't know any polish so I'm a bit worried that I won't be able to social with people or enjoy any uni activities.

helloo, i’m an a levels student who wants to do maths/maths+cs at uni. my profile is quite strong; i have good grades and multiple top placements in national math olympiads n competitions. my main restriction is the fact that i cannot study in both america and the uk due to visa restrictions for my nationality.
i’m aware singapore is quite good but i’m not sure if taking the gap year (since i do a levels) would be the best move rn. canada too but just because it costs a lot and the aid is nowhere near what the US would have to offer.
i’d very much appreciate some suggestions so i can best plan ahead for my uni apps, thank you!
(just to clarify, i only speak english and my native language which is not of much help in this context)

I was accepted into a study abroad program at the University of Glasgow and leave in September, but I still have about a $12k funding gap after financial aid.
Scholarships haven’t worked out, and I’m looking into fundraising, sponsorships, and other options. Has anyone successfully funded study abroad through companies or other methods? Any advice would be appreciated.

I desperately want out of Canada, for personal reasons, and want to study abroad. I don't have the most money so I was looking for cheaper options. I only speak English (Being in said country I'd want to actively learn said language eventually)

I will be able to make 500 CAD / month + If I can work in the country I'm happy to do so while going to school there.

I have roughly 15k CAD saved up for school, that I can allocate to school at the moment as well, (Travel costs and such are separate). If I gotta get a student loan, I gotta, I get it.

I don't mind the cold (Canadian afterall), or the warmth to be honest, weather has never really affected me. I've travelled to hot and cold countries before.

My grades are quite good, and I would want to study history / adjacent category for major.

I was thinking:
Germany
Norway
Czechia
Greece
Philippines

If anyone has any suggestions otherwise I'd love to hear them, or any opinions about the primary countries I'm looking at, that'd be great

Hello, I am a senior in college in a U.S university, and I am really considering getting a masters degree abroad, specifically in Europe. Has anyone completed their masters abroad, if so how was it? i am interested in public administration/social sciences, I just don't know if getting a degree abroad would lessen my chances of finding a job in the U.S since the study is focused in another country. I am also applying to Fulbright as an ETA, i know spots are limited though so I still wanted to apply some other places abroad (as well as in the U.S) Any advice is appreciated... I have no idea what I am doing.

Hello? I'm planning to study in the UK as an international student. I wonder what the cheapest way is to study and get a bachelor's degree there?

I’m studying abroad in Rome and I have naturally curly hair and put heat on it essentially everyday

I’m not going to be able to bring any heat tools to Europe so I wanted to come on here and ask for any heat tools recommendations they sell in Italy - specifically like heated round brushes and straightens

Hello!! So, im looking to study international business at the University of Edinburgh!

I’d love to hear your honest opinions:

How are the Forestry courses and professors?

Anything you wish you knew before moving there?

Any advice is appreciated!

Hi. I’m planning to apply to US universities for 2027, and 1 of the requirements is the TOEFL. I've started looking into how to prep, and I'm a little stuck because the format changed this year, so a lot of the advice and videos I'm finding are clearly for the old version.

My question is: For those who took and passed the TOEFL, how long did you prepare for it? I'm currently relying only on YouTube videos and free practice tests from ETS. Would that suffice for a target of at least 110/120 score?

If not, I'm also researching these sites if they're worth it: study.com, magoosh, tstprep. Would love to hear really honest thoughts on this. Thanks!

Hi all, I’m an American student accepted into masters program in Spain. I’ve been waiting for over a month to get my FBI background check apostilled. I finally got it and can schedule my visa appointment but I see that the consulate site now requires applications be in 2 months prior to study. I’m freaking out because my program starts in on the 14th of September- it’s currently July 21. Will I be flat out rejected? Does anyone have experience with this? Does anyone have experience with applying for a visa once in Spain?

Hello tout le monde,
Admis à l'ISEP en cycle ingénieur, je dois payer mon acompte sous statut étudiant pour débloquer mon attestation Campus France / Visa.
Aux anciens ou actuels internationaux :
• Vous avez dû payer combien % au début
(50 %, 20 %...) ?
• Avez-vous pu négocier un paiement en plusieurs fois ?

Merci pour votre aide !

Hey everyone, I’m from Uzbekistan looking for budget-friendly English-taught Bachelor’s programs. Germany is out because of the €11k blocked account requirement, so I’m currently thinking of doing my Bachelor’s in China and then heading to the US for my Master’s. Is this China-to-US path realistic, or are there better affordable options or scholarships I should check out instead

Does anyone know where I can get housing in Madrid for this fall? We got screwed over last minute. I have been looking EVERYWHERE and nothing is working out. It’s three girls, we will do anything we’re desperate (as long as it’s decently priced)

I just graduated from high school in a third world country and things are not looking bright for me (Inflation, escalation of internal conflicts and poor education/job market). I have been browsing for a fully funded bachelor scholarships abroad for months, but they seem to be almost nonexistent and even if there are some funded opportunities, they often are reserved for graduate students. The thing is that I can afford tuitions which are in an affordable range (mostly Europe), but I don’t have a good bank statement at the moment due to my family’s financial situation, so that makes the chance of me getting rejected for a visa higher. Academically, I have given everything I have. I maintained a 90+ average throughout high school, ranked in the 5% of my class, earned a solid IELTS score, and built a decent list of extracurricular activities. I’m posting this because it has become beyond my ability and the continuous fear and stress about my future made my mental health worse. I would be deeply grateful for any support, whether that means university/vocational program suggestions, scholarship leads, or general advice on approaching this situation. If anyone working in higher education happens to read this (especially European), please know that if given a chance, I will work hard and prove to be a genuine asset to your institution. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this post!!!

Hi everyone! 

I'm moving to the UK on 20th August and my accommodation contract in Nottingham starts on 5th September. I'm looking for someone to share a place with during these 15 days to split the accommodation cost.

I've found a double room for £304 for the entire stay, so it would be much more affordable if we share it.

If you're arriving around the same time and are interested, please feel free to message me. Happy to discuss the details!

Thanks!
