<p>I have been interested in the American University of Paris. Anyone else thinking of going overseas?</p>

<p>Why do you want to go there? Are you attracted by a particular program opportunity or do you just think it would be fun to go to school abroad? </p>
<p>What about going to college in the US but spending a year or semester abroad?</p>
<p>One potential issue is getting a job after graduation if you don’t have permission to work in the country where you went to school. Getting a work visa can be difficult (as many foreign students graduating from US universities discover). If you returned to the US, employers may not understand or value foreign academic credentials to the same extent as homegrown ones. You would also miss out on contacts and recruiting if you attend university outside of the country in which you are able to live and work after graduation. These are just things to consider.</p>
