Oh you're so lucky ! I'd like to go to NYC, Seattle, Chicago and Boston. And maybe LA but, I don't know, it doesn't attract me that much...But if someone offers me a trip to LA, I won't refuse of course !

I'd love to go to San Francisco :coeur2: This town have always made me dream, especially when I rode "Tales of the City", all this open-minded mood in the 60s and even now I think.

Girls, put flowers in your hair and listen to this

I :heartbeat: Chicago! I went there last year in December and it was freezing cold, but so amazing!! The Bean is my favorite thing ever, haha. And the art museum is great! I loved everything about that city. Do you go there often?

I go there twice a year, but my parents will soon be moving out so I guess I won't be back there before quite a while...

Oh yeah, I heard Chicago was great. I dream of going to San Francisco day and night though. A friend of mine is going to study at Berkeley next year - if he gets good grades that is - and I hope I'll get a chance to visit him.

Shittiest sunday afternoon ever, it's raining as hell, played Monopoly with my mum for two hours, how lame is that ?

With my business school I could go at Berkeley next year too, but I need the TOEFL and it is so expensive

Nothing compared to the university fees I guess haha. (But I think it's worth spending 200€ to get a chance at Berkeley, my friend already studied there during the summer, it sounded pretty incredible)
But if you eventually go there, are you gonna pay the same you do in your business school or is going to cost you the same as Berkeley's students ?

Actually, If I go there it will be only the 2011's summer for a "Summer Session" (accelerated semester in 3 months instead 6). So I will pay my business school's fees and, I think, 6000-8000 € for Berkeley -_-.

For the TOEFL I paid 150 euros "only" (still expensive, I know) but indeed, it it gives you the opportunity to study abroad, I think that's worth the price!
And Lavana, I don't know how your school works, but are you sure you have to pay at Berkeley too? Because I'm going to study abroad too, and I'm only paying my university fees, and nothing for the university I go to.

Pavlova · 01/11/2009, 20h24

For my third year in Business School, I'll have to pass the TOEIC to study in an English, Irish or American college. I think the level isn't as good as the TOEFL, right?

The 2 exams are different. The TOEFL is more "literary" (it's really about academic topics) while the TOEIC is more focused on Business and perhaps everyday life.

Yes, I'm sure, unfortunately :/

My english teacher explained me the difference : TOEIC is easier but when you have it, you have it for life ! When you have TOEFL, it is only for two years (I think), it is really for foreign studies.

Oh, my.
That's so expensive!
I knew american colleges were out of price but not that much. Damn. I can't believe it.

Well, I wanted to go to Stanford but it cost $25,000 a year (just for the Law School : $19,000) !

Oh, thanks, it's clearer now

I understand why my school recommend us to have the TOEIC. Anyway, I still some time to think about it!

Studying in the United States is so expensive... I want to go there after I graduate tu study surgery (they have the best techniques & structures ever!) but I'm afraid of what it's going to cost me. I have a few years to think about it... But I'd love to start with an internship in an equine clinic this summer.

Hotch · 01/11/2009, 21h16

I'd love visiting some friends who are studying in Cambridge, but I'll not have holidays or week-end for a long time. Or I could but I'll have to drop Human Ressources course. I'm fed up with my life and I need a break far away from my town.
