Hey International Students!!! The American College System Explained

[@areguapiri]

Community colleges are not just for students who did not get accepted to 4- year universities. Many students prefer a community college for their first 2 years because they are cheaper, provide excellent education, and are usually located close to their home. After completing the 2 year program, most universities like to accept students who did well at community college because they have proven they are good students. Transferring to a 4-year university for the final 2 years is usually much easier at that point

[@freakyunderdog]

I disagree with you, it's the complete opposite; transferring from a 2-year community college to a 4-year university requires very good academic performance, plus you still need financial aid to pay for that university that accepted you, which is very rare in the case of a transfer student; meaning, you'll have to pay a huge amount of the tuition if not all of it, which is very disadvantageous to international students.

[@meghansullivan6812]

exactly!!

[@cyverbunny]

right! I'm deliberately choosing a community college as an international student because it's actually affordable, and I can still transfer later if I want to

Pro Tip: If you are a student from Europe, STAY THERE!! The universities in the EU are just as good (if not better), and they cost 3x less! Not to mention that admission in Europe is so much more Democratic that what we have in the US.

[@sarahstone2549]

Peter Tkatchenko I agree, gonna try to get in the ETH in Switzerland, you don't pay much and they are still pretty famous (Einstein studied there)

[@jean-baptistesay6941]

Dont spread fake news. The schools may be cheaper, but the schools are on a much much lower level and the admissions process is stupid.

[@sarahstone2549]

Big Schlong Max Look the QS college ranking up, in Europe there's Oxbridge, the ETH and many other excellent universities.

[@jean-baptistesay6941]

dodie trash there are less than 5 excellent universities in all of Europe, while there are more than 30 in just the US. Plus, that doesnt even mention the fact that employment is much easier with an American degree in any country, aside from the fact that it would be easier to find a great job in the US.

[@sarahstone2549]

Big Schlong Max Why would your chances of getting a job increase due to graduating at a University like Dartmouth that might be known in the US but isn't a big name like Oxford?

[@tiyasha2907]

Are scholarships for international students solely based on standardised test scores. I am really confused regarding this since I have no clue how my grades would seem in the application process.

[@2NE1972000]

There are merit-based schaolrships based on GPA and scholarship. However, sometimes they are not so generous. Try to apply to Liberal arts colleges and Privates universities that offer need-based aids

[@petertkatchenko7703]

The most highly ranked Universities only give out scholarships based on demonstrated financial need, like in the Ivy League, etc.

[@brookifyd]

Not usually. Every college is different and most significant scholarships are distributed by colleges themselves. Sometimes a score is a qualifying factor (At USC for example) but then you also have to go through a process including other evaluation points.

Is your instruction primarily in English? If so, you may not need to go through the TOEFL etc. and will be considered an American as an applicant. If you're on a military base or daughter of a diplomat etc. you're also likely treated the same as an American applicant.
