I’m Romanian, I’ve just finished high school, I’m currently taking the Bacalaureat, and I’ve already been admitted to an American university (USC). I knew from the start that I wanted to study abroad, and I’ve always been fascinated by California, especially Los Angeles, so the U.S. was my first choice. That said, I also looked into universities in the UK, the Netherlands, Canada, and Ireland, and their tuition fees are significantly lower.
scholarships can be for sports as well and sometimes there is even something just for being abroad due to the institutions wanting more cultural diversity. There have even been things if your country has few college grads. Granted though those last things are not as in vogue in the current us climate. Honestly you have to be a bit mad to want to go to the us from abroad at the moment. literally have been grabbin students with greencards and deporting them and not necessarily to the home country. Rule of law is vague at best here atm.
