about studying abroad.money expenses

<p>i want to study abroad somewhere in europe. but how much money should i bring?or i mean, can i do financial aid/loan in the school that im going to?i want to study abroad for like a semester or at least a year. </p>

<p>and also, since this will be my first time to be in college if i ever get the chance to study abroad, and this will be the start of me as a college person, can i take the pre reqs. subjects there? like biology, chemistry, anything that can relate to science so i can go to a nursing school. i would like to take those subjects outside US and so that when i go back in US, i can apply to a nursing school/univ.</p>

<p>and one more thing, im a permanent resident in US. is it okay if i study abroad? i heard people say if i leave i wont be able to come back again here in US. :( i dont know.. i just heard but i do need some help about all my questions.. it will be a BIG HELP for me.</p>

<p>Always apply for scholarships and grants to study abroad first and EARLY. If you can’t get either of these, look towards paying it yourself (your parents/family) if at all possible. You can take out loans to study abroad just like regular college, but I think they have to be special loans for study abroad, not just like a normal loan. </p>

<p>You can take whatever you’re qualified to take/they let you take. I know for the schools I will go to, since I don’t know Korean, I can only take classes in English. Luckily, the schools I want to go to offer tons of classes in English so I can take really any class I need to take. I’m not sure how much Italian you know, but if you have to take classes in English, you may or may not be limited depending on how many they offer in English. </p>

<p>You can leave the country for up to 1 year as a lawful permanent resident. But, be sure to have your proper documents in order to show you actually live in the U.S. </p>

<p>Just my 2c, if you really wanna go and get the experience of living there, DO IT. If it matters enough to you, go even if they don’t necessarily offer a full semester or year of classes that will help. For a lot of people, this is their one and only chance to visit and live in another country, so don’t let a curriculum be the thing to stop you.</p>

<p>the thing is, ive been out of school since i graduated my high school in philippines, i got here in US and i started working right away. i dont know how do i start everything because in my country we dont do grades like A, B, C. we do it like 75 as the lowest and 100 as the highest. so i dont really know how will it all work in here. thats the thing thats bothering me, i graduated HS at 16yrs old, went to US at 17yrs old and i worked right away. now im 20 about to be 21 this september. argh. im so confused. :(</p>

<p>As long as you have access to some kind of HS records, someone should be able to help you sort it out. Luckily colleges pay people to do just that. </p>

<p>This might be a dumb question, but are you enrolled in college or not? It’s infinitely harder to study abroad without first being enrolled in your home country, but still possible.</p>

<p>unfortunately, im not into college right now. like i said, since i got here in united states, i worked and took a 3month program about nursing. thats pretty much all i did. the rest is work and being unemployed. :confused: if i wanna study, i wanna study in where i can focus on school so much so i can do good at school with my prerequisite subjects.i have to take some of the prerequisites for 1 year in order for me to be able to go to a nursing school.</p>
