Anywhere but Panama

Student Lounge International Students

<p>So. I'm in the first quarter of my senior year here in Panama, and I have a very vague idea of where I want to go for college. I moved here from the U.S. about a year ago, and I'm not planning on staying here another year. I have a pretty good idea of what I want to study. I currently am working as a graphic designer/logo artist and I want to either study graphic design or marketing.</p>

<p>One of the main factors I'm considering is language. I'm a native English speaker, I can speak decent Spanish, and I know a little French. I'd prefer to go to an English-speaking school, but everywhere that speaks English is expensive for international/out-of-state students.</p>

<p>All I have it narrowed down to now is: Anywhere but Panama.</p>

<p>So please help me out here:
What can I do to start choosing where I want to go?
Would you guys discourage going to a country where I don't speak the native language fluently? Should I even consider it?</p>

<p>If you have any suggestions or similar stories, please share.</p>

<p>Whose passport do you have?</p>

<p>I am a US citizen with a US passport, but when I finish school I will have been living in Panama for two years.</p>

<p>So apply to the States. There are plenty of opportunities and scholarships especially if you are American. Aim for the private schools, they usually give good scholarships. </p>

<p>Good luck</p>
