<p>Cheers,
Would love to hear about your S/D's experience at King's if admitted! Did your student have to travel for the interview? My DS2 (a freshman in HS) drooled over your post. He is into military studies and history, and is taking a full IB diploma porgram, so int'l studies may be a serious part of his future. Thanks!</p>

<p>Oldin Jersey: American universities abroad accept the FAFSA the same way the colleges do here, so you can get federal money in addition to any scholarships the schools offer. I do know that the University Colleges in Ireland do not offer anything. Again, I believe they have to be American universities abroad.</p>

<p>The nice thing about snow in VA (and I'm speaking as a former Bostonian :) ) is that it is gone in 2 days. Ironically, our schools happened to have a 2hour delay today for icy conditions.</p>

<p>My D loved UR and it was a strong contender in her final choices. On Accepted Students Day, we noticed a lot of kids from the northeast states.</p>
