    1.Personally, I feel that the United States is safe. The China Daily's reports were a bit news-oriented.

    I think China is a lot of chaos, and every time I come back, things are stolen!! == Just because China doesn't report doesn't mean it's safe. To put it simply, but a bit extreme, the security of the Chinese snail area is not good, such as flushing in New York, there are often accidents, and there are also relatively chaotic places with many black people.

    But it's not that Chinese and blacks are bad, you just need to understand. In general, the west side is safer than the east, and the south side is more chaotic, and places like Louisiana should not be visited. The security is better in California, but if you don't have a car, it's very offended.

    2.If you go to high school, it seems that you can't go to the public, you can only go private, specifically**You can just find a school and go to the official website to take a look. In the case of universities, both public and private schools can be attended, and the general trend is that the appointment is more expensive (of course, public and private are separated).

    The cheap public is 4w a year. Expensive ones like Nyu Bu cost 6-7w knives a year. And nowadays universities almost don't give awards, no matter what grades you have.

    Relatively speaking, liberal arts colleges give you money as long as you have good grades. If you have a budget of 35-40w, you can go to most of them, except for some aristocratic schools.

    3.High school is mostly homestay unless you're a boarding school. In the case of a university, there are usually 2 people, but there is also one person.

    And depending on the cost you pay, the quality of the dormitory will be different. The conditions of the American dormitory are very good, haha.

    4.To go to high school, you don't need IELTS, you need a language score for the previous year. Depending on your personality, decide whether to go to a school with more Chinese or fewer Chinese.

    If you go to college, you have to take the TOEFL and SAT ACT (American College Entrance Examination), IELTS is much easier than TOEFL. If you go to high school and go to college there, then you have to retake the TOEFL, IELTS, and SAT Act, and the SAT is hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's something that Americans themselves can't understand, what Shakespeare, what Floyd's stuff == I didn't go to high school there, so I don't know. However, it seems that if you want to go to high school, you will have to take the SAT to go to college

    If I went to high school in China, many of my classmates found it difficult to take the SAT and directly applied to the kind of school that did not need the SAT, ranking in the top 50 and the bottom 50, but it was full of Chinese.

    That's all there is to it. Hope it helps.

    But I'll be fair, if your hardware is not strong, don't go to the United States, the United States is very competitive and the probability of staying is very low, spend so much money and then it will be empty. Consider countries that are more comfortable and easier to stay in, such as Australia.

    1。Big cities are not safe, and the likes of New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago are all unsafe. Because gangsters, jobless vagrants, and addicts are relatively poor, they can't afford the cost of independent houses and cars, and they basically live in big cities.

    It would be much better to be a little further away from the big city. In places such as university towns far from the city, there is a living community around the school, and the security can even be so good that the house is not closed at night, and the road is not left behind.

    2。The tuition fee for public high schools is not clear, but it is $230,000 a year for private high schools, about $10,000 a year for public universities, and $350,000 for private universities. In places with high consumption, $10,000 in living expenses is almost enough, you can eat well, and you can have a place to live.

    Many undergraduates will use their spare time to do odd jobs to earn extra money.

    3。I know of a maximum of two people in a bedroom and multiple bedrooms in a house. There is no bunk bed in a domestic dormitory, which is more life-like, but it is a bit similar to living in your own home.

    4。You still have to try your best to learn English, otherwise you won't be able to understand it in class, and you won't be able to hear the teacher's requirements clearly, and you will suffer a loss in the exam. In daily life, shopping, eating, shopping and so on, you need to communicate with people.

    Be bold, it will be helpful to speak more, and others will know that you are a foreigner, and they will not ask too much for grammar and words.

    First, the question of whether the United States is safe.

    It depends on whether it's urban or rural. It also depends on where you go. In general, the crime rate is much higher in cities than in rural areas.

    And it is generally mostly robbed by blacks with knives. So if you have a black neighborhood in the city, don't go there. Don't show your wealth at will!

    It's best not to go out after 10 p.m.

    Second, tuition fees. 35 to 400,000 a year is more reasonable. The public one-year tuition plus living expenses should be 3 40,000 US dollars. Privately owned, almost $450,000.

    3. Dormitory. Generally 2 people, international students. There will be no more than 4 people.

    Fourth, English ability.

    Be sure to take the TOEFL! Practice your English! Be sure to dare to say it! Listen to it, too! Beating these two levels will be very helpful for you in the United States.

    Hope it helps.

    One: security issues. When choosing a school, try to choose areas with fewer black people in terms of geography, and be aware that Indians and Mexicans will also increase insecurity.

    If you live on campus, safety is not an issue. Generally, international students will choose boarding high school, and if they have financial resources to get to the university, they can also live in the dormitory. Safety when going out won't be a big problem.

    2. Overhead. The cost of high school will be larger, thirty-five to forty is reasonable, but the cost will vary depending on the region.

    If you choose a high school in the suburbs, you will have less shopping expenses. The basic tuition fees and living expenses will be announced on the school's **, and you can go directly to the Internet to see them. At the undergraduate level, if you don't have a part-time job, the expenses are 25 to 35 a year.

    This is also just a general **, which will vary greatly depending on the school and the region. For example, in New York State Buffalo, 20 a year should be enough. Private universities will be slightly higher, and it is enough to prepare 30.

    Three: accommodation issues. The dormitory in high schools is generally a dormitory for 2-3 people; If you choose to live in the dormitory of the university at the undergraduate level, it is also a 2-person room.

    Some dormitories will have private rooms, but the kitchen, bathroom, and living room are shared. If you choose to share a house at the undergraduate level, it's up to you. It is usually a single room with a shared kitchen, washroom, living room, and yard.

    You can also choose to rent an apartment, all your own, but more expensive. Single girls consider safety issues, high school must live in school, undergraduate freshman living in school, sophomore can start to share a house, try to find classmates, Chinese can also, preferably boys.

    Fourth, language problems. This is the most critical.

    Whether it's safety or overhead, it's all under human control, but it's up to you to speak a foreign language. If you are in high school and have lower language requirements, you can go out by taking an SLEP, study in the United States for more than three years, and then take the university entrance examination, you do not need to take the IELTS TOEFL, you only need to take the SAT. If you go directly to university, you will theoretically need to take IELTS or TOEFL.

    However, most American universities now offer dual enrollment – even if you don't pass the language test, you can be admitted, take a language course at the university, or make up your IELTS and TOEFL scores before the start of classes. If the foreign language is not very good, you should attend a language school. To be honest, I didn't learn much at language school, but it was a good buffer to help you adapt to life in the U.S. as quickly as possible, get familiar with your surroundings, and avoid too much stress after the main class started.

    After going to university, I had to work part-time, not to mention earning money, mainly to force myself to practice foreign languages. It is normal to not understand at the beginning of the lecture, and if you persist in learning, you will definitely improve, and there will be a transition period of half a year or even a year. I don't understand the lectures, but I can pass the exam, which is a characteristic of international students.

    So don't worry too much about the language barrier.

    By the way, I wish you a happy new year.

    1. It is recommended to review boarding secondary schools.

    2. Private middle schools have superior conditions in all aspects and a high admission rate, such as applying for Edward Art High School in the United States, which costs 6w US dollars a year, and you can also apply for scholarships.

    3. Private boarding middle school, generally 2 rooms.

    4. English scores are not required to apply for American high schools, the younger the age, the stronger the receptive ability, and the natural integration in an all-English environment, no need to worry.

I don't know how old you are. If you're a junior, it's a good idea to raise your grades to 80 in the last two semesters so that you have more options for the schools you're applying to. If it's 77 points, Sheffield and Cardiff are not impossible, but it's more difficult, and you can only work your PS and other application conditions. >>>More
