you should try looking up colleges in europe or doing a semester abroad through a local university.

I personally don't know what you need, but I do know that almost every school's website will have a section for international students. So just find some schools you would like to go to and peruse their websites. Good Luck!

ya that was my dream a while ago too, but I found it hard to find schools that would acknowledge a high school diploma from the US because our school system is different than theirs. Also the language barrier. You have to take a test to prove you can handle classes conducted in that language. And lastly, the US government won't grant you financial aid if you go to a university outside the USA. And if you're thinking that college is free in Europe, well it is, technically, but you have to be a tax paying resident. that's how they get the funding. If you can establish residency and get citizenship and prove you can speak the language, and afford the costs out of your own pocket, then by all means go for it.

Each school is different; and their educational systems tend to be very different than ours. A lot depends on which country you're interested in. Your best bet is to review websites and communicate with the schools of interest. They likely would need to review your specific case, as it's impossible to generalize under the circumstances. For example, European students of teenaged "high school" age are typically far advanced compared to U.S. students - they usually know several languages and have more advanced skills in all other subjects. The schools may also have selection processes that depend heavily on interviewing you, perhaps several times, and making a judgment call on your personal character, even if your school scores aren't perfect. Finally you should be very clear what exactly you want to study, because they tend to be more focused at a younger age and the schools expect that. Some foreign schools will handle U.S. federal financial aid; but it's more time-consuming and complicated, so be prepared if that is something you will need to do.

The first thng is to be able to afford it which is why most American kids don't have this option though it's in vogue for wealthy kids. The same schools that are almost free for locals will cost you about $35,000 per year with no financial aid available. If you pass that hump, research them on the internet. They are very clear on what grades and scores they accept. Then apply. Some do require interviews, so plan to visit.
