我应该上哪所大学?
您好。
我是一名国际学生,计划在即将到来的秋季开始上大学。为了提供一些背景信息,我打算在完成本科学位后继续攻读研究生学位,但对于是否应该在本科学位上花费大量资金,还是将这些钱留给研究生学位感到困惑。以下是我的大学选择:
1. 英国圣安德鲁斯大学或华威大学 -> 美国研究生院
2. 在我的母国读本科(不错的大学,计算机科学系的教授们大多在卡内基梅隆大学、伯克利等地获得硕士和博士学位) -> 美国研究生院
3. 佛罗里达州立大学(FSU) -> 美国研究生院
4. 从佛罗里达州立大学转学到佛罗里达大学(UF)、伊利诺伊大学香槟分校(UIUC)、加州大学戴维斯分校(UCD)、马里兰大学等 -> 美国研究生院
5. 从加州社区大学转学到伯克利大学、戴维斯大学、欧文大学等 -> 美国研究生院
6. 去爱荷华州的格林内尔学院,可能转学到其他地方或毕业。
每个选择的本科学费大致如下:
1. 15万美元
2. 2.5万美元
3. 10万美元
4. 13.5万 - 17万美元
5. 18万美元
6. 目前还不清楚
促使我提出这个问题的原因是,我不想在不值得的事情上浪费家里的钱。我个人认为最后一个选择从长远来看可能会很好。然而,我的所有想法和信念只是推测。我相信,最终的目标是让我处于一个能够充分发挥我潜力的环境。不幸的是,由于某些原因,我在高中最后几年无法做到这一点,因此未能进入好的学校。
我无法准确描绘选择这些路径的结果和规划。因此,我需要一些基于现实的建议。如果您认为在申请好的研究生项目时“学位的价值”并不重要,请提供一些有效的信息来支持这一观点,同时考虑到我作为国际学生的背景。感谢您的阅读。

Greetings.
I'm an international student going to start college in the coming fall. For some context, I plan to go to grad school after doing my undergrad and am pretty confused about whether to shell big bucks for the undergrad or save it for grad school. The following are my college options:<p>1. U of St Andrews or Warwick in the UK -> grad school in US
2. Undergrad in my home country(good college. Cs faculty did their masters, phds from cmu, berkeley, etc) -> grad school in US
3. FSU -> Grad School in US
4. Transferring from FSU to UF, UIUC, UCD, Maryland, etc.-> Grad School in US
5. Transferring from California Community College to Berkeley, Davis, Irvine etc. -> Grad School in US
6. Going to Grinnell in Iowa and maybe transferring somewhere else or graduating.<p>Approx costs for undergrad in each option:
1. $150k
2. $25k
3. $100k
4. $135k - $170k
5. $180k
6. Idk rn<p>What prompted me to ask this question is that I don’t want to waste my family’s money on something that isn’t worthwhile. I personally think that the last option could be really good in the long run. However, all my thoughts and beliefs are just conjecture. The ultimate goal, I believe, is for me to be in an environment where I can utilize my full potential. Unfortunately, due to certain reasons, I wasn’t able to do so in the final years of high school and thus couldn’t get into good schools.<p>I can’t map out accurately the outcomes and roadmaps from choosing any of these routes. Therefore, I need some advice rooted in reality. If you happen to think that the ‘degree value’ doesn’t matter when trying get into good grad programs, please provide some valid information to back that up, while keeping the context, me being an international student, in view. Thank you for reading.
