Studying in a foreign country

chr1stopher11 · 16 Jan 2010 at 22:11

I've been thinking about going to study in France for a while now. I love french and i'll be fluent by the time i'll be leaving. It will be an undergraduate degree called a "licence".

Has anyone gone to uni in a foreign country before, and what was it like?

Also interested to know this. I'm hopefully doing a course in Education with French, and even though there is a 4 week excursion over there, it would be nice to spend a year actually living there.

I suppose the best thing to do would be to contact both your university and a prospective French one? How are fees and everything handled (for studying there), because I believe its more expensive, as it is for French students who come over here.

I have studied in France before at uni.

What will you study, where will you study and what are your current abilities linguistically? Also when will you go?

Unless it's a language, I see little point myself.

Culture? Wouldn't you like to get away for a while to some where different?

Granted, but given the education system UK is one of the best in the world, I wouldn't study abroad to embrace the culture.

I live in Seoul for months to experience the culture, during summer break.

do a uk course that has a year out in another country. i know my uni offers loads of these through links with the other unis

i assume going to uni abroad costs a fortune. just like it costs foreigners a fortune to study here
