US universities are undoubtedly the best in the world, at least according to the many rankings that are drawn up annually. For an Italian student, entering the world of US colleges is not a simple and cheap affair. In fact, in addition to requiring strict requirements in terms of school curriculum, the annual fees of universities are very high.
The fact is that, unlike in our beautiful country, in the USA,
obtaining a degree really means expanding the job opportunities, the university
is really an investment; this is why the US state also offers loans on honor to
willing students who, once they have obtained the “Master's degree”, will be
able to settle their debt position.
Returning to Italy, a fundamental prerequisite is the
knowledge of the English language which is rarely so thorough as to be able to
take exams in the language and which must be certified by taking appropriate
tests recognized as the Toefl which certifies the knowledge of English for
non-native speakers and which is valid for two years, then expires.
The simplest solution for the Italian student who wants to
spend at least a period of study in the USA is to take advantage of exchange grants
such as Overseas ( read our article ) which, however, few universities offer or
to carry out a postgraduate master or finally to win the Fullbright bag ( read
our article ).
Applications for admission to the US university must be
drawn up in the year preceding the start of attendance by following the
instructions given on the website of the chosen university. The fees vary from
university to university but are still all quite high; the student can still do
paid work within the college.
Entering the most prestigious locations such as Yale
or Harvard is particularly
complex but my advice is to get the best information, apply to different
universities and hope. To consider
Berkeley University, based in California, which is a public university
whose annual cost starts at $ 16,000 and varies according to the chosen
faculty.
