<p>Im currently a high school junior with a 3.1 on a 4.0 scale. I'm going to community college first then hoping to transfer, will I be able to go to a international university? Im still looking at the universities but would I have a good chance of leaving the country?</p>

<p>It depends. What country do you want to go to; what subjects do you want to study; are you expecting to be able to transfer credits (unlikely)? Also, how much money do you have to spend?</p>

<p>What language(s) do you speak fluently? Do you know what you’d like to major in? Where would you be going? Do you hope to go to a near-free/tuition-free college, or would you have $10-12,000 for tuition?</p>

<p>I speak both english and spanish fluently. Tuition could go up to about $20,000 maybe a bit more. Still not sure what I would like to do so thats why i’m still searching. So it is really unlikely I would be able to transfer credits from community college to a university out of the country?</p>

<p>Although I would HIGHLY preffer universities of low tuition.</p>

<p>Most foreign universities consider that 1 year of community college = their own admission to university (which is equivalent to a 13th year of sorts) - the university degree is then specialized and lasts 3 years.</p>

<p>So would I have a chance of getting into an international uni after going to CC? Or would it be better I go straight to uni?</p>

<p>Most universities would want you to attend a community college for a year anyway, so I’d say that as long as you have good grades (and it’s not as easy as in High School, sometimes), it’s better if you go for a year at a CC and during that year apply to universities abroad. Between Ireland, the UK, the programs in English in the Netherlands, Spain, Mexico*, Costa Rica, Argentina… you have tons of choices.</p>

<li>Mexico seems pretty dangerous right now, I heard even more students were killed recently.</li>

<p>Thank you:) any you know about in asia? I have family in Mexico so I have heard of what its been like there & the dangers of being there right now. Do you think it’ll be hard to get into a university abroad?</p>

<p>Also I would preferrably want to go to a country in the eastern hemisphere.</p>

<p>If you have $12-15,000, no it won’t be hard.

<p>@MYOS1634‌ Did you mean 12-15,000 per year or semester?</p>

<p>per year
most European universities are almost tuition-fee and would only require you to pay for food, housing, books, and transportation. Depending on where you go, it’d be about 12-15,000 a year. Some universities are more expensive (like the French/Latin American Sciences Po program or the French/North American Sciences Po program I was talking about, where tuition is $12,000 or so, but accomodations are much better, as are working conditions, etc.)</p>
