Question: About American High School? I am a Taiwanese girl who is in Grade Eight, and I wanted to study in American High School. There's some questions I would like to ask: \n(1) I am not from a wealthy family. How can I go to an American high school without spending too much money? Since my mom told me that if she provide me to go,  there wouldn't be enough money to go to an American University anymore. \n(2) What is it like in American High School? Is it hard for a Chinese girl like me to make friends with the local people? \n(3) Can someone who had experience this before tell me which is better, go to American High School or University?\nPlease help me with these questions, I am making the biggest choice in my life now. Thanks a lot!!!

Answer: 1. Public high schools are free to go to here. You only have to pay for private schools. There are also ways to get money help to pay for a university, such as financial aid, student loans and scholarships.\n2. Most people are interested in meeting people from other countries. I'm sure you will have no problem finding friends.\n3. A university is probably better because you have more freedoms, but in America, you go to High School for grades 9-12 and after you graduate from that, then you can go to a University or College.\n\nHope this helps :)
