BRAZILIAN STUDENT MOVING TO THE USA - WHICH CITY TO CHOOSE?
Okay, I'd love to live in New York City. But people keep talking about how cold it is and that I wouldnt like, because in the city I live in Brazil it is pretty hot. The second choice would be Miami, which have pretty much the same climate as Salvador in Brazil, but is NO NEW YORK. I just wanted to live in the top city of the world, where everything happens, dont know tho if I could really face the cold.

Fica em São Paulo mesmo que não é muito frio, é uma cidade topo do mundo onde tudo acontece e vai lá só visiar os USA.

Miami is very much like South America, a lot of hispanics and a lot of Brazilians. You don't need to speak english there. The big cities are nice but, very expensive! I would go to AUSTIN TX, it's college town, a lot of young people and students like you, lots of parties, but the biggest attraction in Austin are the 2 big lakes (lake Travis and Lake LBJ) lots of beaches and parties... and it doen't get cold. Economy is growing, it's not facing challenges from the current crises like California, Florida and NY etc... It's a great place to live if you don't like cold. South of Austin you can go white water rafting, and there also the biggest outlet mall in TX. San Antonio is just 45 Min away and there's a lot to do there. LA is nice, but California and also Florida are VERY expensive! And they have a lot o problems right now because of the economic crises.

I think movies and television make NYC out to be far more glamorous than it really is. Not everything happens in New York - what is it that you're really looking for? If you want to be 'where everything happens' that's not freezing cold, go to Los Angeles. It's a far more international and busy city than Miami. Both LA and Miami are sprawling car-centric cities though. If the thing you find appealing about NYC is the super-urban cosmopolitan lifestyle - go to San Francisco. It's a similar lifestyle, but the weather is 10 times better, the people are younger, and the attitude is more laid back. If you're going to study, you might consider Boston. Yeah it's freezing cold, but it's kind of like a mini New York filled with college students. It's far cheaper to live there. NYC is a 3 hour bus ride from there, easy to take weekend trips.

Your primary concern will be getting a visa. You cannot just "move' to the u.S. If you want to attend university in the U.S., you must apply and get accepted, then apply for a student visa. then you may come, attend your university and work up to 20 hours a week on campus only. WHERE you live would depend on what university you re accepted to. You will need to be able to prove you have enough only to support yourself and pay your tuition. So, first, see site below and learn about the student visa requirements.

If you are rich, I would say Chicago or Boston. If you are middle-class, I would say Orlando If you don't have money, go to whatever small town will take you in.

Universities in Melbourne for an average student?
Universities in Melbourne for an average student?
I live in Brazil but I'm moving in march to melbourne, so i basically wanted to have an idea about the universities in melbourne..I'm not an excellent student, I would say about average. My overall GPA in high school was 2.7 I think, so yea, just wanted to know about some universities for an average grade student. really appreciate it

um i dont think we go by GPA so that 2.7 doesnt give us an idea of how well or not your going.... definitely Vic Uni is known for acceptance of average grades so check up there...and La trobe possibly...really depends on the pre requisites of the course and whether you hold all of what is required so what would you like to study? grab yourself a VTAC guide which tells you whats required for each course etc....and see whats there for you good luck
2 :
I did year 12 last year so I'm going to uni this year but don't know how different countries compare with their scoring systems. To get into uni straight after highschool you need to get an Atar score, the uni's in melbourne tend to have a higher score needed to get in as they more popular being in the city. For example at Deakin Uni, the course i wanted to do was an 80 something in Melbourne, 60 somthing in Geelong (just over an hour away) and then 50 something at the Warnabool campus which is even further away.I'm lucky that I live in Geelong as I got enough to get in there but not in Melbourne but the courses are still exactly the same. It's going to depend on which uni and which course you choose but you may need to travel a little bit. Although depending on how old you are you can apply as a mature age student then you don't need the atar score but there is other requirements. Like the other person said if you can get a VTAC guide then that will be a great help, it has been like a bible to me for the last few months, also call up some different uni's to get some more help

No. You owe them--and you have to pay them a certain amount. It matters not how much you make, unfortunately.
2 :
YES, YES, YES...to all three questions. You can pay US student loans wherever you go in the world (they would think this was very nice of you actually). Your amount you would have to pay COULD be reduced due to salary ("Loan payments are limited to no more than 15 percent of the amount by which the borrower's AGI exceeds 150 percent of the poverty line income applicable to borrowers' family size"). And the website you need to go to check it is below. You MAY want to take advantage of the income-based repayment (IBR) program available to both FFEL and Direct Loan borrowers on all Stafford and graduate PLUS loans. This will provide a loan forgiveness after 25 years of payments, as due to your income, your payments may not keep up with interest and it would really never be paid off. Good luck--Hope this helps! +Magnoaldus

What vaccinations do I need for Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil?
What vaccinations do I need for Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil?
I'm going to be an exchange student there, and I'm leaving in just a few weeks. What shots do I need/are required? And do they hurt...I was really little the last time i received any shots, so I don't remember how bad they hurt...Although, I did have a dentist give me shots to my lower gums, and that was extremely unpleasant, but it didn't necessarily hurt. Is it anything like that?
