Moving to America for University? need help, life decisions !!?
This is a number of questions, but you can answer the ones you want.
Basically: i’m 16 years old, i live in England and im at college doing my A levels. i would really like to go to University in America. But it would be such a huge thing, i wouldn’t know a single person. In the whole country!
Do you think it’s possible? People do it, right?
Also, i need to decide a career path. which i also need help on. The subjects im doing are: Spanish, French, History and Religious studies.
I have a keen interest in photography and film.
I wouldn’t mind an office job, but i would like to do something fulfilling and interesting.
Any ideas of what i could do with this subject combo and what University degree i would need?
My original thought was to go into advertising, but im not sure.
Another thing is: are GCSE’s and A levels of any value in the U.S?
Please help with dilemma, and any advice given will be appreciated.
Thanks 
It’s okay that you won’t know a single person when you attend college. It happens to millions of people every year Of course it’s possible. There are always about 4-10% international students at any given institution in the US and Canada.
You don’t have to decide what you want to do just yet. You can declare a major when applying, but it’s not always required. Usually you figure stuff out in the first two years at university what really interests you. I started thinking I would be a history major, but after one history class I knew I would hate it for the next 3 years. You have time to figure out what you’ll like and dislike, then go from there.
Every country has its own way of grading its students. Yours is the GCSEs and A Levels. US schools are well equipped to deal with different grading systems around the world, so don’t worry about that. They’ll scale your grades to something comparable in the US grading scale.
If you’re thinking of applying to a large number of schools in the US, I recommend using the Common Application because it’s accepted by roughly 150 different institutions. Good luck with the whole process!

On Photography $81.25 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles On Photography is a 1977 collection of essays by Susan Sontag. It originally appeared as a series of essays in the New York Review of Books between 1973 and 1977. In the book, Sontag expresses her views on the history and presentday role of photography in capitalist societies as of the 1970s. Sontag discusses many examples of modern photography. Among these, she contrasts Diane Arbuss work with that of Depressionera documentary photography commissioned by the Farm Security Administration. She also explores the history of American photography in relation to the idealistic notions of America put forth by Walt Whitman and traces these ideas through to the increasingly cynical aesthetic notions of the 1970s, particularly in relation to Arbus and Andy Warhol.

A Boatload of Madmen: Surrealism and the American Avant-Garde 1920-1950 $17.72 In 1932, against the troubled background of the Depression, the American art community had its first glimpse of the revolutionary art of the Surrealists. Combining a fascination for Freud’s new symbolic language of dreams with a radical utopianism, the Parisian movement galvanized an emerging American avant-garde. New galleries opened to exhibit the “terrifying”, “insane” works of Surrealist artists, and new magazines sprang up to publish a startling crop of Surrealist poetry, criticism, and vociferous attacks on mainstream culture and politics. Four years later, a major Surrealist exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York catapulted Surrealism into the cultural limelight. Soon the art of Man Ray was selling cologne and swimwear and Salvador Dali was designing shop windows and a pavilion at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. Andre Breton and his circle, exiled in Manhattan during World War II, were unable to assert control over this new kind of Surrealism. If anything, their cultural dislocation in these years gave Americans the edge in developing new Surrealist concepts and movements such as Abstract Expressionism. This innovative and vividly written cultural history tells the story of Surrealism’s remarkable sea change during its years in America, from a fiercely leftist, strongly literary avant-garde movement into an apolitical, almost exclusively visual style. Exploring both “high” and “low” cultural perspectives, Dickran Tashjian shows how the American avant-garde selectively filtered and reshaped European Surrealism to meet its own agendas, and how it in turn was reinterpreted, depoliticized, and commercially exploited by mainstream American culture and thefashion/advertising industry. |
