Robots in university.. Why don't you study abroad for a semester?
I couldn't stand my life back home but when I studied abroad I:
- Made a few friends
- Lost my virginity
- Visited a lot of new places
Being foreign makes you more interesting and people will be eager to talk to you.

You paying for it?

sounds worthwhile as long as i wouldn't be surrounded by shitskins all day
From which country, and to which one, did you travel for your studies?
>>24974103
I guess I haven't thought too much about the financial aspects.
My tuition fee was covered by my home university and I got some scholarships so I was lucky.

From a northern european one to the US.

I'm already a foreigner and it doesn't help.
Although I have a perfect English accent so maybe people think I'm not.

My College in Canada has a agreement with University of Gloucestershire, I got accepted but I cant afford paying 11,000 GBP in tuition thats like 20,000 Canadian, Though I am thinking about taking a working holiday in England.

How does studying abroad work? Like do they speak english?
/trv/fag here.
My tuition is $7500 per semester. I get most of that in grants and can't be assed to raise funds for housing overseas. However, I have worked a lot since I started university and lived overseas independently. I lived in Istanbul for a few months and New Delhi for probably about 1.5-2 years in total.
I lost my virginity on the fifth day of my first-ever trip, shortly before my twentieth birthday. I built a lot of confidence, saw some huge riots and political protests, and made friends across the world.

This is only fun if you're white

In retrospect I wish I had, but I'm starting my final year next year so unfortunately it is not possible

A lot of universities have a decent amount of courses in English. Also chances are you will mostly interact with other international students who don't know anyone else either. How well the local people speak it obviously varies though..

This.
And why would I study abroad if I only pay $600 per semester in muh uni.
My university has exchange agreements with a ton of universities around the world. I could go and would only have to pay tuition at the rate I do at home (2000$ cad a semester). You should take a look and see if you can find a similar thing. You still have to pay for room and board though, those costs can add up.
Not much to do with this thread , but I plan on backpacking SEA (3 months) and Spain (1 month) and maybe go into Morocco for a little bit.

On your own or with friends?
>>24974590
I don't really have friends. I would like to go someone because this would be the first time I left the states. I have one person I have in mind and asking him but we really aren't close friends.

I always travel by myself. Trust me when I say that you'll open up a lot if you go alone. I might be biased, but if you say "yes" to new opportunities, you'll build a lot of confidence and see tons of things you wouldn't have were you to have a friend in tow. Going somewhere by yourself lets you have total control over where you are, what you're doing, and where you'll go. You don't have to think about anyone but yourself and can make a split-second decision to hitchhike across a country, leave town a week early, or abandon the drunken Australians who tried dragging you on their lads adventure.
Pic related - after getting dumped at a bus station in southeast Turkey in 2013, I bought a bus ticket to northern Iraq. Had the time of my fucking life before going back to Turkey, seeing the conclusion of the Gezi Park protests in Istanbul, bussing over to Georgia, hitchhiking with Germans to Armenia, and more.
Could I have done any of that with a full-trip travel buddy? Fuck no.
I would like to study in either Norway, but I've heard the people are pretty tall. I'm only 5'5 so I'd be a fucking shrimp.
