Going to uni in America

So I’m from the uk and f*ck it I don’t wanna stay here any minute longer.

I wanna go to uni but not in the uk. So I’ve been thinking to go to America or somewhere else abroad.

My question is how do I got about the whole process?

Apply to do the ACT and see what you get. Look up what unis you’re wanting to apply for and see their average ACT scores. You can also sit the SAT subject tests. When looking up unis make sure to look up ones with good bursaries/scholarships for internationals, or ones that are ‘needs blind’ which means they don’t look at your finances when you’re applying which means they’ll give you as much as you need. In the US most unis are on the commonapp, basically the American UCAS. Be prepared to write lots of essays. Also, their ‘personal statement’ is really different to ours, I suggest you look up examples on YT or something.
For funding you need to fill in something called a CSS profile and there’s a LOT of information you need.
And remember, they have far lower acceptance rates so don’t take it personally, however you can apply to as many unis as you want! Have some £££ in handy though as you need to pay to send off your ACT and your CSS to each uni, and some teachers from your school who like you because they’ll have some work to do.
Feel free to ask me any more questions 😊

Thank you. That sounds like a f*ck ton of work but I’ll happily look into it if it means leaving this hell hole of a country behind.

how exactly is america better than the UK?

The uk has f*cked me over too much. I hate the weather, I hate the people, I hate the food, I hate the emptiness, i hate the education system, I hate absolutely everything. America just sounds like more fun, better weather (in some states), better opportunities, better social life, better everything.

in that case, I wish you the best of luck! but just remember that unless you get a more positive mindset, youre likely to feel this way no matter where you go. every country has its downsides so also make sure you do plenty of research and watch youtube videos about people from here who moved there to see what its like

Thanks for the heads up. I wanna travel around the world so I don’t plan on staying there much longer after uni. I like new countries and new surroundings.

You do realise that after study you have to go home? (Or at least leave the USA)
Pretty much every country in the world doesn't want random people moving and working without permission
After completing an American degree you have 60 days to leave
