Currently going to school in the United States. My plan is to study here for 2 years in university, than switch to go study abroad in maybe Greece, Australia, London, or Norway or Ireland.
What are some pros and cons?
What do you think?
Will colleges accept me and my credits from the U.S?
Thanks!
What do your folks think of this plan? Have you reached out to any of the Us you are thinking of transferring to about how easy/difficult this will be to do and graduate in a reasonable amount of time?
One of our friends had a D who statmrted at U if HI and then did a term in the UK but liked it so much she ended up transferring and graduating there.
I would think it’s best to go to a country where you are fluent in the language. That may affect your options. I’d start by checking with the vohnsrlors at the school you’re currently attending to see if they gave any arrangements and agreements with international partner Us. They may be more willing to accept coursework you’ve completed in the US and have your U accept credits you get there if you decide to return to get your degree.
Why do you want to do this? You are suggesting a rather dissimilar variety of possible countries to study in. Why these particular countries? Are you intending to look for a job in the US after graduation?
Why not do a year abroad, finish your bachelors in the US, then look to do a master’s abroad?
In general, no: transferring is not a usual part of most university systems outside the US. I would be very surprised if the person that @HImom mentioned actually ‘transferred’ in - it is more likely that they simply did a full 3-year course.
The reason is that in most university systems you are admitted directly to your major, and the first year or two of your course there are few (if any) choices. (on the other hand many courses are 3 years (not 4)).
Since college curricula are structured very differently in the US vs other countries, odds are that very few of your credits will transfer. Universities elsewhere don’t have “general education requirements” or “free electives.” Students would focus exclusively on their major and supporting coursework in other fields (like math and physics for engineering).
Since you did not specify your major, I will use computer science as an example. Here are the suggested course sequences for the first two years of a computer science major at my American alma mater and a random university in Germany:
US
Semester 1: Intro to CS
Semester 2: Data Structures, Discrete Math
Semester 3: Principles of Computer Organization
Semester 4: Principles of Systems Programming

Europe
Semester 1: Intro to CS, Principles of Computer Organisation, Discrete Math
Semester 2: Data Structures, Principles of Software Development, Linear Algebra
Semester 3: Databases, Operating Systems, Principles of Programming Languages, Real Analysis
Semester 4: Theory of Algorithms, Distributed Computing, Probability Theory

Notice how much quicker the European curriculum covers the core CS classes, and how it requires 4 math classes vs the 1 math class required for the American degree.
For the UK, you won’t be able to transfer credits, but sometimes you can use completion of the first year at a US university to meet entrance requirements to the first year of the degree in the UK.
Why not just study abroad with your American College? That’s what junior year abroad is for 
Some colleges with good study abroad programs include Dickinson, Kalamazoo, Goucher, St Olaf… Look then up as well as what they offer.
