You could come here too! We have the highest percentage for international students for any liberal college in America. As well, this school had some of the best financial aid out of any school!

Yes beacause we all know I can afford to pay $50 000 per year to go to school in a country in which I am not allowed to work. Sounds like a great plan.

As much as I`d love to head down your way I think I'm going to have to stay in canada, sorry.

But that's why I said they have good financial aid. There's no way in the world I could EVER afford to go to this school normally - I'm going there due to grants, scholarships, and other things. There's quite a few international students here on full scholarships (and by full, I mean EVERYTHING, including plane tickets!)

If you want to stay in Canada, that's fine. But when you're looking at colleges and universities, don't cut any options out due to price - there's always financial aid! Plus, there's additional scholarships, which oftentimes you can write a few essays and just reword them slightly for a bunch of different applications!

I understand if you don't want to leave your own country, but money isn't a permanent, impassible object which can't be overcome. There's always a way! And from what I know of you, you'd be a strong applicant, for you've done study abroad and a lot of other cool stuff!

It's not a birch, it's a copper beech. Otherwise, very well done!

Thanks for the correction. That's the one of the few trees I took a picture of that I forgot to take a picture of the sign so I would know the species. I actually knew it was a beech, but I wrote birch for some reason... I guess my fingers weren't listening to my brain!

Come visit me :) As of right now, I have an open-double. (Long story. Call for full details.) Basically, I have a real bed you could use; you needn't sleep on the floor! You can visit Amelia too, since she's only a bus ride away.

If you come, I promise some "horse love", by dragging you down to the barn. (For which you will need to bring a bucket... to catch all the drool that will come out of your mouth upon seeing such an amazing facility!!! Not to mention the horses we have. Can you say "warmbloods galore!"?) Oh, I don't think I mentioned this to you: our Western Riding team (yes, we have one!) is currently #1 in the region! So we're not just Dressage Divas :P

What school are you at right now? UF, USF, and FSU all have riding teams. All three have English and Western teams, too. Let me know, and I'll get you links/contacts!
