Study in America - 5 Things You Will Love & Hate About Studying Abroad in the USA

www.woltersworld.com
Thousands of students come to study in the USA every year. Here are the best & worst parts of studying abroad in America, from high prices and students not wanting to work with you, but the great parties and fun people make up for it.

    There are plenty of major American universities in Cities. All the Boston Schools, Columbia, NYU, UPenn, John Hopkins, GWU, Georgetown, Emory, Northwestern, U of Chicago, Washington U in St. Louis, U of Texas, Berkeley, U of Washington, UCLA, USC, Tulane, and many more. It's perfectly possible to study in a major city in the U.S. if you want.

Answers a few common questions from all of his new subscribers. And it's a great discussion of college life in the US. Love university towns. Have been to Knoxville and Athens but need to get to Oxford one day. Want to experience The Grove on game day. 🏈👍

    NotOrdinaryInGames Who cares?! Do your best, then don't worry. No regrets. I am old now, but i can tell you that I was a big worrier when I was young, and it availed me nothing good. My biggest regret is that I didn't have more sex when I could still get it up. lol Life does have its consolations, however. I love to travel, and the advent of the internet rendered boredom all but non-existent for me. I'm old now, and I know myself, I "know the score," I know the limits to my personal power. And the most important thing: A wise man once said that "Love is the Greatest." That is so true. I believe in the power of love and kindness. Happiness is a great good, and I did something when I was young that most folks in the English-speaking realm do not do, and that was to learn to speak fluent German. What's the connection to happiness? The German-speaking area has a genre of music that is all but unknown in the Anglosphere, and that is the Volkstümliche. It's FUN ! Who cares if it's "square?!" Waltzes, Polkas, Laenders, Yodlers, etc. It's all good. The Schnulzen sung by Heintje. It's all there on the net, on KZread. Forget about what folks think and get into the postive, life-affirming music of this kind. Also, hiking songs, which some call marching music. It's all fun. And happifying. Try it. You'll like it. Cheers! 11.5.15

Even modern day English people have one (and there are several ACCENTS within the country) because they don't speak like whatever is considered original English from years ago. All English people speak with a different accent and dialect compared to "original" English (just like Americans and other English speakers from various countries). English people definitely DO have accents.

    Matthew Hall because there are Companies like Siemens, Daimler, Volkswagen and Thyssen, whose value on the stock market very often doesn't even add up to their capital in machines and personell? You can't really compare IT companies to anything really. Compare GM mechanical engineers to Silicon Valley it-guys. Plus: because high level education in the US is superior (because money and clever people from all over the world). But let me tell you for undergrad: definitely not since it is very often not much more than many Germans have in their Abitur. Post-Grad: different story. But again: different system.

    German here. The most important pros: No tuition fees and you are very free in organizing your studies. Cons: In most cases there are only finals, either you pass or fail and getting good grades is often hard, even if you work hard for it. The university does not care about you. E.g. nobody reminds you to register for exams, your professors do not care if you attend lecture or know your name... Actual student housing as in other countries (run by university itself) is nonexistent, universities do not care where you stay. There are dormitories run by student unions, but capacities account for only ~10% of German students. Most either commute from their parents house or live in shared flats. Academically it is often hard and tends to be more theory-focused (especially undergrad studies). High failure rates in certain exams (especially in undergrad studies) are part of the system, nobody pushes professors to take measures to lower failure rates.

I've been thinking in doing a post-graduation at USA because it's more easy to find the kind of course i'm looking for than other countries. But watching your video was like a slap to the face. Don't get me wrong, the vid is incredibly informative as always, but all those things about extra costs for exchange students and the "US students will not want to work with you" and the restricted classes really disappointed me. Here in Brazil a foreign student has the same number of rights and costs as any native and he/she is treated for his competence instead of his origin. I don't know if these characteristics you said works the same for post-graduation, but If they are... Guess I'll Just have to search for another country. Thank you as always

    Just a head's up, yes, education is so expensive. In places like Denmark for example, people are surprised at how burned out college students are and how fast people complete their degrees. For me it was mostly because of the money and the pressure on getting good grades. I didn't want to pay for another expensive year of school by changing my degree, so I had to keep my nose to the grind for only few years. So keep that in mind if you come to study here, you'll probably work like crazy.

    +Living Free Forever If you want to get college credit you generally do it through the college you attend, normally your college will have information on their website. There is also normally a office you can visit on campus, and information meetings held during the year for students and parents who are interested. it differs between college to college, but generally the school already has a partnership with other colleges overseas, and you get to pick from a list where you want to go, for a semester, a summer, or a week or two ( normally only get credit for one class, vs a semester where you get credit for multiple classes). If you want to go somewhere else you normally can but you will have to pay that schools tuition ( normally you just pay your home schools tuition while overseas) and you will have to check to see if your credits will transfer. while your tuition will be the same (if going to a partner school) you normally have to pay for the airfare, food, spending money, and sometimes rent on your own in addition to tuition. If you want to study abroad using a different program than your school you can but it may be more or less money, and you may not get college credit, check with your school before signing up to see if they will give credit.

    I'm so jealous of low tuition universities in other countries. It's hella expensive here, even more so when going to an out-of-state university. UT Austin is TWICE the price for students traveling from out-of-state than within Texas, which will then be about $50,000 a year. Student debt is a serious thing. Screw college experience, I rather pay less than pay about $30,000 for schooling a year. And that's public schools. Private universities/colleges are way more expensive.

    Hi, I'm 18 and from the UK. I've always wanted to visit the states and hopefully one day move there so recently got the idea to try and study there and see how it goes. I have a respectable budget to get me down there initially but no visa or no family to stay with. If possible, how would I do it, what kind of money would I need and would I then need additional money to rent a property for a year or however long I'm there for? Thanks

"I will have to pay from the 1,500 Dollars for the apartment, my daily meals etc But not the studying fees". 3- As an Arabic Muslim student which is the best state to study in where I can find Halal food and people who welcome Muslims. *** And I'd like to thank you for this awesome presentation.

    I cannot say from all universities but from the ones I have worked at and studied at exchange students get no funds, but that is for students coming for one semester during undergrad, for masters there are ways to reduce your tuition like teaching classes or helping with research. some private schools do offer scholarships for study abroad students though, but I have only really worked at big public schools

    Dear woltersworld, My name is Jioh (pronounced like 'Geo' in the word geography). I was just wondering I am currently studying in England, United Kingdom (UK) but I am interested to study abroad as an exchange student in the United states next year so quite soon, but is there any support actually benefit for disabled students/ people with disability not just physical but also problems such as dyslexia, epilepsy, hearing problems, cognitive problems and so on at American universities? I know in England they offer extra time for example for exams or extra help in accommodation and so on, also help in somewhat such as note taking or some extra help in getting around from the university people/ staff. I was wondering also in universities in England they have a specific department for disabled students. Do American universities offer any similar support for people who come from abroad or is it not available or if it is available is it only available for people in the US?

    +Tom H YES many, if not all ( except maybe really small ones) colleges in the US has department dedicated to helping students with mental, physical, and learning disabilities. You get extra help in class, extra time, emailed notes/slides, councilors, and/or what ever else you might need a little help with. it's very common here and totally normal so your professors will be familiar with it too.

    You forgot a bit about the small town bit: In North America, you pretty much HAVE to have a car. Public transportation in most of these "small towns" is either -existent, but limited to the area(s) around the university. -Nonexistent entirely. Better hope your university knocks your tuition down to the point where you can get your hands on a car, or you know somebody who has a car and can drive you around. Even if you have a bike, most bicycles rented to college students are of low quality, and most bikes within a students' budget will usually be cheap. (And while this isn't true of every university in America, certain places happen to have a bit of a problem with bike theft so riding in with a brand new top-of-the-line bicycle is like riding in with a huge "Steal me" sign.) Not only that, but during the fall and spring semesters, it gets FUCKING COLD out here so you will have to be certifiably insane if you try to ride that bicycle around. (If you're from the Nordic&Alpine countries, or Russia, then you know this very well.) Most bike trails, if they exist, aren't plowed, so you will be forced to ride your bike on the road, and you will have to bundle up. This may cause your clothes to get caught in the chain due to the aformentioned cheap bikes. When you arrive at your destination, you will be absolutely drenched in sweat from riding your bike in layers of clothing and a heavy winter coat. (Assuming you don't have frostbite from the wind chill - which can be as low as -70.) You can always get a moped, and get to park that for free since a lot of universities allow Mopeds to be parked on the bike racks (which costs nothing) and you may not even need a bike lock at all since mopeds need a key to get going. HOWEVER: You can't ride them on bike trails, you can't ride them on sidewalks, and you cant' ride them in bike lanes, you have to ride them in the road. Their maximum speed is way lower than the speed limit in most areas so you WILL piss off the drivers. And if you're in Texas, even if you go at the speed limit, you WILL get run down. If you decide to stay in the summer, you will absolutely BOIL especially if you're pretty far inland. Yes, even in Canada and Alaska, which have a reputation as being freezing.

    It really depends on what part of the country you are in. I go to school in a small town in upstate NY (oswego), and we have buses for the students on campus that run not just all over the town, but also to events, festivals, shopping malls, as well as to "bigger" cities like Syracuse, which from there you can take a bus or train to pretty much anywhere else in the state from NYC, to Buffalo. They even go up to Canada. We also have Zip cars on campus the students cant rent, and a number of various taxi companies in the area. It's all based on the university/town/part of the country your at in particular.

    Hi! I am from Malta, a tiny island near Italy and currently majoring in Accountancy and Banking &Finance at the University of Malta. I`m studying for my 2nd year Finals right now, but I still have three years to go. As you said, over here in Malta, for most of the study units, us students, choose not to go to the lectures as the lecturers don`t brighten up the lectures so we just study the notes provided. I would love to experience a more practical study someday. I have an uncle who lives in Detroit and will be visiting this Summer. I would love to study in the USA someday! Do you have any tips regarding my area of study? Thank you for all your helpful videos! :)

    I'm a CPA in the US. Generally here you do 4 years of business school then 1 year Master of Accounting (MAcc) to be eligible to sit for the CPA exam. A third of my class at Ohio State (only a few hours south of Detroit by car) was international students. They loved it and many of them got jobs with Big 4 accounting firms and stayed in the US. If you're interested in a MAcc, I recommend looking and applying a year before you'd start (most are one year full time starting in August).
