Outside of the United States generous system of community colleges, our post-high school education in America is among the most expensive in the world, creating an ever-widening gap between the super-wealthy and the rest of us.

This Investigation calls for you to determine a college, university, or institute where you could finish a degree or certificate that is outside of the USA and its territories.

I have had the pleasure to give talks on this before, helping students decide on good candidates, and I earned my PhD outside of this country as well.

So,

1. Start research today on a country that you would like to live in and key universities/institutes that catch your eye there.
2. As your investigation deepens, answer these questions: Why do you want to go to there? What does that city and land have that you like to do, see, visit, and enjoy?
3. What are the requirements for acceptance? What are your current grades/test scores, and how would they compare to those of people trying to get acceptance there?
4. What would be the total price (tuition, fees, books, food, lodging, transportation, etc.) and what are realistic opportunities for grants/scholarships for foreigners like us? Which ones would you apply to?
5. What would you study and research at this place? What is the department and what is the degree/certificate you seek? Why is it valued or vaunted? How is it rated?
6. Here are a couple dependable “ranking/rating” sites …
9. Why would you like it there? And what could help lead to your success there? What clubs or associations do they have there which you want to join?
10. In this written report, also show three visuals: two of the campus, and a third as an ariel shot of the town/city it is in.

>>Amazing Fact: The Cost for Finishing a Degree at these three places (as of 2024) is cheaper than finishing the last two years of a 4 year degree at University of Houston for a Harris County Resident.)<<
