About This Quiz
There comes a time in every person's life when they must face a big decision after high school is over. And that's, "What do I do next?" Should a student work part-time for about a year or so to save up for a university, or should they start attending classes right away? There's also the option of taking some time off to think about what you want to do for the rest of your life. After all, college is a huge decision that will create many new opportunities for the future ahead, so it's important to make the right choice!
There are plenty of colleges from which to choose in the United States, but let's branch out for a moment. Wouldn't it be great to study abroad in a foreign country? You could be eating ramen in Tokyo while cramming for a math exam, or hiking a mountain in Switzerland to gain more clarity on college life. Now, we know this type of lifestyle is expensive, so we're going to give you free tuition in this international quiz! Just tell us more about your personality and how you would live your best college life so we can match you to a perfect foreign city!
