In the age of diverse multicultural communities and multinational companies expanding in many different sectors, it is increasingly important to experience life outside of your campus—unless that campus is in another country! Could you be convinced to travel abroad and attend an American university well outside your home country, but very inside your comfort zone?
Several U.S.-based universities have campuses abroad with English-speaking programs and English-speaking students.
Many universities are regionally accredited, and credits are issued from the U.S. That means you won't have to worry about the validity and transferability of your international campus credits. It also means that your new university will probably participate in U.S. Federal Student Aid, along with your eligibility for grants, scholarships, and military financial aid programs. If this is a fit for you, you may find it less intimidating or complicated than attending a university abroad that may be a stretch for your comfort zone.
