International Study
Several years ago, I almost spent a summer in England taking part in and extended education program. Money was tight, so I decided to hold off and stay home and work in an auto parts factory in Detroit. To this day, am disappointed that I did not find a way to make this dream come true.
Everyone says we live our lives through our children, so when the time is right, I'll suggest at least a year of overseas study in England to my kids. In today's world economy, an international education is more important then ever to prepare our youth for a successful future.
When considering international study, I always think of the U.K. first because of the country's fine reputation for higher education (not to mention the lack of language barriers), make it a good fit for any U.S based student looking to broaden their horizons.
This past week, I did a bit of research and found a website that offers an excellent U.S. Student Guide with information on everything from England's culture to financial aid. The website also contains information on other facets of life in the U.K. for students spending an extended period in England like car insurance and for those who plan a longer visit mortgages.
The Internet is making the world is becoming a much smaller place, so if the opportunity presents itself, I won't let my kids miss out like I did. Of course, money is always tight so I hope when/if the moment arises things are going well financially in my life to make it happen.
