The Shorewood Class of 2017 had several students go to colleges in other countries. There are always a handful of Shorewood graduates studying in Canada and an occasional student in Japan, but now we are seeing interest in the UK and countries in Europe and the Middle East as well.
The most important thing to do is to do your research early on so that you learn how the system works in different countries and with particular universities. There may be different admissions criteria, other exams, and several extra steps just to apply, and then of course the prospect of being in another country requires planning and careful consideration. Please use the resources linked below and let us know of any other helpful sites or materials that you find in your search.
Shorewood graduates who are studying in other countries almost uniformly say that it is worth the extra work and that they are having incredible experiences.
