<p>First of all, I really hope your english will improve because you will most certainly not pass the TOEFL test this way. </p>

<p>You should take the SAT’s and afterwards we can give some info on colleges that might be suitable to you.</p>

<p>And for the undergraduate majors and programs there are for foreign people</p>

<p>You need to read the information at [EducationUSA</a> | Study Abroad, Student Visa, University Fairs, College Applications and Study in the U.S. / America](<a href=“http://www.educationusa.info/]EducationUSA”>http://www.educationusa.info/)</p>

<p>Then you need to visit the advising center that is closest to where you live. There are two in Italy. [EducationUSA</a> - Find an Advising Center](<a href=“http://www.educationusa.info/Italy]EducationUSA”>http://www.educationusa.info/Italy) The counselors will tell you what you need to do.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>yes…do what you can to improve your English skills. :slight_smile: Spending this summer in the US will help, but you need to do more to improve your writing skills. Are there classes that you can take in Italy? If so, sign up for some.</p>

<p>Your grades and your SAT or ACT scores will likely determine which schools will accept you.</p>

<p>Also…how much will your parents pay each year for college?</p>

<p>Community college…local public colleges that only have the first 2 years of school. </p>

<p>Christian colleges/universities…private schools that are associated with a particular denomination. Like Catholic universities in Italy.</p>

<p>First thing you need to know about American universities – they are VERY expensive! Can your family afford $40,000- 50,000 per year? That is the cost of a four-year college/university if you are a foreign student. There are almost no scholarships available for those outside the US.</p>

<p>If you improve your English skills…keep your grades up…score well on the SAT…then you’ll get into a US university. </p>

<p>Best of luck to you…</p>

<p>thank you for all i hope to realize my life dream ;D</p>

<p>^^^</p>

<p>You will.</p>

<p>Since you have an American friend, you should write/communicate with him frequently. That will improve your English writing skills, too.</p>

<p>ahahahahah</p>

<p>sorry another thing if i can come in a college i have to do a normally class/faculty or something like that? [Faculty</a> and Staff | The Department of French and Italian](<a href=“http://frit.osu.edu/people]Faculty”>People | Department of French and Italian) :S</p>

<p>Are you asking if you have to take a French or Italian class if you go to college in the US?</p>

<p>Typically, a student does have to take some foreign language classes.</p>

<p>BTW…post on CC as much as you can…and ask people to correct your posts so that you can learn.</p>

16

<p>My husband moved here from Europe when he was 18. He spoke very little English , but immersion really helped. Also , when he had to spend time alone here in the states, television really did help him learn the language. Good luck to you !</p>

<p>I moved to United States when I was 10. It was pretty simple for me to learn English since I was young.
I’d suggest to hang out with English-speaking people as much as you can, listen to English music, and watch TV in English.
I also live in San Diego and I can say there are a lot of places that can help you learn English; the border with Mexico really facilitates that.
I hope you perservere to reach your dream.
Best of luck.</p>

<p>Indeed, start downloading or watching series and movies online. I seem to remember that English-language shows are dubbed in Italy.</p>
