Where should i study abroad in Ireland?

Should I Study Abroad In Ireland, France, Or Australia?

• i'm in high school and really want to go abroad for a semester my junior year. I'd like to go to one of the three listed above, however i've heard that australia isn't that great. I've been to ireland for a week and LOVED it, but i'm afraid it might get boring after a while (if that makes sense). I'm not trying to stereotype, but i've HEARD that most french people aren't all that fond of americans. Any other countries would be great, if anyone has any suggestions. So here are my questions 1)Any recommendations for places to study abroad and why (preferably where the culture revolves around the arts, I'd like to do acting and music) and what's so great about the country and any bad sides it may have. Also what the high schools are like there. 2)How to convince my mom to let me go. I already tried a while ago and she was VERY stern about me not going 3)Any really good study abroad programs I could go through 4)I'm in my freshman year and want to go abroad in my junior year, so how could i make enough money to go on one of these very expensive trips in time to submit any applications forms Suggestions are not limited to just the three countries above, I'm open to new ideas. Just as long as the country is safe and all, since my mom will probably be uncomfortable with my going to school in a different country as it is. Thanks for your help!

• Answer:

  Please be realistic. High school abroad is not safe for someone your age and in any case you would not be able to procure a visa unless accompanied by a guardian.
