Year abroad. Where to?
06-27-2012, 08:34 PM
I have one more year of high school here in the states. I've no idea what I want to do for a living so I'm not going to college, at least not yet. Anyway, I'd like to study abroad for a year after I graduate here. Hopefully I can get a scholarship because I don't have much money.
Where should I go? I'm Welsh, so I'm thinking Wales, but France and Germany sound good too. Any thoughts on where I should go and any scholarship info would be much appreciated. Thanks

Berlin is cheap and apparently a rising tech startup hub, if you are interested in that at all.

Don't make the mistake spending shit load of money on prestigious college like I did unless u gonna a really useful degree, these days going to cheap public school , then go to graduate is better. But I know school is cheap as shit in Austria, 400euros a semester in U of Vienna, but cost of living high. Vienna a great city with alot of beautiful and cultural shit to do, girls hot too(not Slavic hot, but a lot Slavs though), close to Slavic paradise(Bratislava, an hour away) and center of Europe, easy go to various places. Poland I hear is good too.
There is the Boren scholarship for incoming or college students.

Thanks for the input. Keepreal, I wouldn't be going to college, I would be doing a fifth year of highschool there after I graduate here. I would stay with a host family. If I ever do go to college, however, u've just convinced me to do it in Europe.
