Do any state schools admit international students ?
Would they admit an int. student ifthey came into their catchment area for homestay? and if they did, would they let them join their school for sixth form (even though they have not taken GCSE’s)?
And would they help the student work out the logistics on how that student would go to uni since they’ve taken A levels but not GCSEs?
I tried calling a state school today and a person said that they only admitted English residents and did not take international students, but I guess I should call more??

All state schools in the UK admit international students.

I’m 29,
She’s 24
Ok we have talked online a lot and we promised to be GF/BF. She always cares about me and tells me alot of nice things. plus i teach her english. She keeps saying she’s lonely. Oh PLLLEASe!

I am starting to doubt her . Most International students in USA always meet other international students, befriend them and even get into relationships with them. Moreover, she’s lonely…so she will accept any men that likes her( She’s pretty and hot so what American or foreigner wouldn’t like her).

She has said that she likes me and only me because I’m unique, etc etc But i’m pretty sure she has BF in L.A and i’m pretty sure she meets other guys online and voice chats with them.

however, when she talks to me in voice chat( We always voice chat when we meet), she sounds really sincere. she even cried one time.

What to make of this relationship.. Could she easily leave me because she will probably be swept away by some Guy in L.a. , either a foreign guy who is a classmate or an American who she happens to meet.

PS. She lives in LA doing homestay. I live in a city not so far from there but we have not met in real life. We will meet in a few months though

But you have no proof of all these things that you believe she is doing. One of the first foundations of relationships is TRUST. If you do not trust her, or she doesn’t trust you, then the relationship will end in failure. I don’t know you, but from what you have written, you seem like you are insecure with yourself, you seem afraid that she is so pretty that she could easily leave you for just any guy. You sound like you’re unsure of your feelings for her, yet you’ve asked a series of questions pertaining to this attractive Japanese student LOL. You sound like the type of guy that would break into her email account, check her text messages, and ask her where she has been (LOL I’m just kidding, but I HOPE you’re not like that). Trust me, girls don’t want their man acting like he owns her. Have pride and confience in knowing that you are loveable and that you have a lot of love to give. If you’re willing, give her the benefit of the doubt and see where the relationship leads you, if you’re not willing, then finish teaching her English and be done with it. There are many paths in life to take. Good luck.

I will soon be leaving to live and work in Japan (im debating on living alone or trying to find a homestay program).

I have been a little worried about the poison that international media and popular culture have put out about african-americans, especially women. The purpose of my travel is to understand another language and culture……but consequentially i seem to be seeking validation that there will be reciprocity without worrying that the TV has had a heavier influence.

Point blank:
Will i be isolated because i am a black woman?

I’d like to get an honest answer from those who have lived, worked, or studied in japan. My trip will be a minimum of one year.

Nah you wont be isolated.

I’m here right now actually, in Tokyo. You get looks/glances from people and thats basically because you’re not Japanese (not because youre black). Even white people get stared at, so its just because you’re a foreigner. Heck even the asians that aren’t japanese and are caught not talking japanese (ie english / korean/ etc.) will get stared at.

Now interestingly you’ll get approached by guys who like hip-hop or are interested in black culture. (also keep in mind the male-female ratio of foreigners in japan is crazy imbalanced so we’ve become an ‘exotic item’) Girls who like black culture will admire/touch your hair or skin.

You must also keep in mind, if someone looks at you with a weird/scared expression its because you’re foreigner. Its completely different situation that what we get in the united states.

If you go to the countryside I can only assume the situation is different. You would have to ask one that has stayed in that kind of area.

There is this job that I am really interested in taking. It is with EF Tours where I will be a Tour Consultant. The company does student exhange programs, educational tours, and other programs related to international travel aned language programs. I would be interviewing homestay families, making sure they are suitable to house kids, help with sales and go to schools trying to get teachers interested in going on tours, and I would travel ont hese tours myself to make sure that the iterneraries I create run smoothly….the thing is, the job is out of Boston and only pays $30,000 / yr plus some sort of bonus (not sure how you get it)….You get full benefits….401 k, blue cross/blue shield health insurance, etc……..Is this livable for someone who is 21 right of collge in Boston…..should I take it?

I don’t know how it is where you live, but it is very difficult to find a job right now. I make 32k a year and have an apartment that is $625 a month, $80 car insurance a month, $150 phone bill, and $80 electric and I make it okay. You will get paid after taxes, about 400 a week. So by making that much, do your budget, can you afford it? I would take it also b/c it’s your first job and those are hard to find out of college. In a year or so, you can start applying for other positions and have some experience to make you a better candidate for a better job!

I am an international student in Vancouver, Canada. I want to know something about my life here.
I am living in a homestay with my guardian, who is aslo the landlady of the house. However, there seem to be much fight between us. The landlady often asks me to do some chores for her. I do help her sometimes but of course, I am not always available as I need to study or sleep. However, it seems that I have no right to refuse her at all, once I do so, she will just keep harassing me, either shouts at me or keeps knocking on my door. Aslo, when she loses something, she always tells other people that I had stolen it, which later turned out to be wrong. On time she even open my bag and rummage through it to check if I had stolen her stuff. Whenever I protest to her, she always says that she is my guardian and can also be regarded as my ‘mother’, so she can do everything she wants upon me.
So folks, I just want to ask if she really has the rights to force me to do any thing. Thank you!

just wondering where you are from??

anyhow – how much rent do you pay?? if you pay her – you shouldnt have to do her cleaning – can you find a different place to stay?? on the other hand – would it kill you to help her without her asking you first??

perhaps she is used to her boarders helping more?
