<p>I know I'm looking really far into the future, but I'd like to become a physical therapist and eventually work with a European football club.</p>
<p>I'm currently a high school sophomore in the US. I am aware that we have great colleges and universities here, but I am worried about the differences between physiotherapists and physical therapists (if there are any).</p>
<p>Would it help me or hurt me to go to a university that is closer to the area I want my job to be in?</p>
<p>Have you thought through the practicalities of studying and working abroad? For example:</p>
<ul>
<li>There’s probably no financial aid for foreign students.</li>
<li>You may not be eligible for a work visa in your preferred country of employment.</li>
<li>Your college degree may not be recognized in the US if you want to come back. (That’s particularly true for degrees from vocational schools.)</li>
</ul>
<p>Come to Kings. We rule. :)</p>
<p>There are a number of European universities - eg. all of them in the Netherlands, that have ridiculously easy admissions, and an even more ridiculous tuition - never more than $10,000 per year for undergraduate degree. (can’t say the same for living costs though) Maybe an option?</p>
<p>b@r!um: I just looked at some UK university websites and I can’t find much on scholarships or financial aid for foreign students. That will be a problem as I am in the lower middle class and will need some sort of financial assistance :/</p>
<p>UKdude84: The only schools I’ve really looked at so far have been Queen Margaret University and the University of Birmingham. I’ll look into Kings, too :)</p>
<p>Drelnis: That’s another reason that I thought this might be a good idea. College tuition prices in the states are ridiculously high. The thing is, there seems to be a lot more scholarships available to me if I stay in the states (at least enough so that I wont end up in serious debt).</p>
<p>The thing that appeals to me most about applying to a university in Europe (the UK, specifically) is what they call ‘placements’. From what I gather, they place you with a local sports team for a certain amount of time and see how well you do. It sounds like you can get really great job connections this way. Please correct me if I’m wrong about any of that.</p>
<p>HLM,</p>
<p>Kings is part of the G5 (wiki it), it dumps on those schools you mentioned. Central London, very multicultural [my first day I met a Brazilian and a Cuban girl, both were beautiful]. I recommend it 100%.</p>
<p>Feel free to PM me re: KCL. I am doing my PhD there.</p>
<p>For placements etc, try Brunel. They pioneered this method.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You won’t get any, it doesn’t exist here.</p>
<p>Scholarships do exist, but not FA in the same way.</p>
<p>Very, very, very few and they’re not really scholarships, just one-off grants or bursaries that are usually never more than a few hundred pounds.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure now that I’m going to stay in the US for college. I need a lot of financial help, which I know I can get here.</p>
<p>I’d love to move to Europe for university, but my family just can’t afford it.</p>
<p>My thanks to everyone who helped me out :)</p>
<p>If you want to :-D. Are you from Mexico?</p>
