What do I say to my parents about Boarding School? (I'm an International Student)?
My parents know I'm really keen on going to Boarding School, but my parents would rather I focus on choosing a college. What do I say to them? Also, do schools like Phillips Academy (Andover), Tilton and Kent offer financial aid to International Students? (I live in Indonesia, but I'm Filipino)

Listen to their reasoning. Perhaps they may not be able to afford both options.

HELP me to find the right community college for international student!?
HELP me to find the right community college for international student!?
I'm a senior high school student in Indonesia, interested in architecture. My GPA for last semester was 3.1, my TOEFL CBT score was 237, adn my SAT simulation score was only 1640. I'm looking for a good, cheap community college in California or Washington. Much better if there are Indonesian students too. Many people said that San Diego and Santa Barbara are great place for study, but I can't find a community college in there that offer architecture major. Orange Coast College and Pasadena City College offer that. But, Orange County is kindda expensive and identic to "party everynight", is that true? About Washington, I heard that Seattle is great, but there are only 2 options there (UW and WSU) for continuing bachelor degree and both of them are hard. I mean if transfering thing is so hard, better I apply to second tier/ third tier universities that offers architecture major OR get AA degree first? But to attend university, my English is not god at all. HELP ME!! THANKS!

Being that I attend a university in the OC, I can tell you for sure, that it is not the party town you think it is. San DIego on the other hand, is. I don't know anything about Washington, but I can for sure recommend for you Pasadena City College. This is great because it is very close to Cal TEch and they probably get a lot of transfer students from Pasadena City College, so the counselors can probably help better. However, it is very expensive to live almost anywhere in CA and especially Pasadena, San Diego, and the OC, so you may want to look up websites like craigslist.org or some roommate finding service and see how much rent really is, and is you can afford it. If not, maybe Washington or somewhere in the middle of the country would be better for you. Good luck!

Your best bet would use the "Counselor-O-Matic" tool on Princeton Review. I linked it below. It asks you all your scores, what you can afford, what kind of setting you'd like (including state), and it has a section to applies to International students. I think it would be your best resource. I linked it below. Good luck!

Sierra Community College has a hudge international demographic. The Math / Physics department is awesome. They are building a new math building this year. Its a pretty campus. It ranks as the number one Community College in California for the number of Associate Degrees awarded for the fourth year in a row. Nationally, Sierra College is ranked thirteenth overall for the second year in a row. Its in a suburban setting, about 10-15 minutes from Sacramento. Visit http://assist.org/ to find California community college's that transfer to Calafornia State schools. You can pick any community college and take courses that will transfer to a state school. If you click on explore majors, find all the State schools that offer your major of choice, then look at community college's that have thouse classes. Although some schools may not offer thouse courses you still need the CSU GE-Breadth/IGETC (for most schools for your major) you can still go to that community college and still transfer under that major.

Most places only accept the ISIC card, or a student ID card issued from a European institution. So in your case, I would strongly suggest that you get the ISIC card.

How can I increase my zest for study?
How can I increase my zest for study?
I always get rank in the class (3-6). I'm a high school student. I always study hard, but now I feel bored to study. I think I always study about the same thing with a few additional subjects. You know, in Indonesia students are given so many subjects.

This can be a common problem. Studying in any country, especially at the end of high school can be so exam focused and boring that we lose motivation. Somethings include setting small goals. For example, getting scores on self-tests. Another is working with friends. Form a study group and work together. Though some friends can be a distraction. Divide your life up. Don't just study study study, have some time for fun. If you take one day off, and really enjoy yourself you will find that you are motivated to study. Talk to your parents maybe they can give you rewards to motivate you. Many parents in various countries promise things like mobile phones or money to their children for achieving something. Finally, set a final goal. Why are you studying highschool? What do you want to do afterwards. If you have a university and career goal in mind, you can work towards that.

If you spend all your time studying, yes you will get bored. Balance is the key. Don't completely stop studying, but don't completely forget you are a teenage girl too! You need to have a social life along with a school life. Talk with your parents. They may be able to help you. After all, they have been balancing work, family and a social life too! They may have a few pointers to help you.
