One of the best ways to try out another country for a college student is to spend their college summer overseas.

My daughter spent last summer in southern Spain through the Texas Tech engineering dept. An overseas trip is required for engineers, since it is such a global commodity.

If she can make it to Spain with a local college then she can see if she could survive overseas. Sometimes finances will kill a dream, sometimes the culture just isn't a good fit, and sometimes the folly of youth will conspire to bring her back to the US.

I guarantee that she will appreciate the US much more after she returns.

We moved here after our kids were grown up and moved away. There is a Facebook page called Expats in Spain where you can get information from people with kids that age.
