College Advice/Selection (any help is welcome!)

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hey there,</p>

<p>I'm a teenage girl who lives in Europe and needs some serious college advice! Although I'm perfectly fluent in English and have attended an American school before, I'm currently a sophomore in high-school in a different, non-english speaking, system. I'm an ambitious student and I tend to get really good grades, so I'm pretty confident when it comes to get the equivalents necessary to attend college in an English speaking country (UK/US, preferably US).</p>

<p>Even though I don't have a full vision of what I want to do as a career, I'm leaning towards the Medicine Field, particularly Nursing. I've done lots of research about the programs/degrees to take/etc. but I'm struggling a lot when it comes to finding a college that suits my needs.</p>

<p>I'm looking for good Nursing BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) programs, and since I'm an international student (and I don't have a seven digit bank account ;) ) somewhere that has scholarships or low tuition fees (I know that last one wont be easy).</p>

<p>Any advice/information is useful at this point, so if anything comes to mind (even if it doesn't tick some of my 'requests') it is VERY welcome! >:D< </p>

<p>Are you a US citizen or an international?</p>

<p>I read “teenage girl in Europe” but it wasn’t clear to me if she was an expat. </p>

<p>@shawnspencer Thanks for the threads, but aren’t those scholarships only for US citizens? PS.: I haven’t read all of it yet.</p>

<p>Also another question: I’m really clueless when it comes to the ‘normal tuition costs’, if anyone could enlighten me on that matter?</p>

<p>@Erin’s Dad Thanks, didn’t know there was a sub-category for International Students, I’m new here. </p>

<p>Find the nursing schools that will give internationals money. It won’t be a long list.</p>

<p>But a question: will a nursing education in the US prepare you to serve as a nurse in your home country? will the licensing board at home accept your US training?</p>
