<p>What unique challenges has anyone found when considering a foreign college [aside from the obvious-far from home, different culture, etc.]?</p>
<p>Is it more difficult, less difficult, no different than admission to a domestic college?</p>
<p>Do foreign schools look for different application information?</p>
<p>There's always St. Louis U's Madrid campus -- 3 years there, and one in the US. Students become bilingual. Classes are in English.

<p>It's the same as applying to an american school because it is one.</p>
<p>the admissions difficulty really depends on the school. For instance, admissions to Oxford would be very similiar to admissions into HYPSM. I know that most UK schools require at least 2, 3, or 4 AP tests because the secondary education in the UK is considered to be more difficult and specialized than in the US. I am not sure about any other countries though.</p>
