I want to study in America for some reason...So I can travel and live independently knowing if I make a mistake that I wont have anyone else to help me.

Any universities you recommend? For foreign students? Currently studying Psychology 2nd year at UNISA so yeah Psychology :)

EDIT: Please recommend other countries to. Just not England....Don't like it.

Or maybe work overseas (not in UK lol) and carry on studying with UNISA?

$5000-$13000 per semester. There're usually 2-4 per year. And you have to have proof of funds to support yourself while there because you'll only be able to work on campus if you're lucky and those usually pay $5-12 per hour. Do you have enough dough? ;)
 
If you go to Pakistan, there are blokes that can get you student visas for the US or UK. You may need to grow a beard though and learn Pashtun.

Whats wrong with Nigerians...heard they through in some free cocaine for every purchase :D
 
You can't just switch universities as if they were high schools. SA universities will only give you a degree if you have done at least half your studies through them. There may be other restrictions, and foreign universities will have their own rules. The fact that the courses are also different makes things more complicated.
Just make sure you speak to someone at each university you attend or are planning to attend so you know how things will work out.

Yeah I understand this and will ask them for what recommendations I should take.Also Accreditation etc :)
 
or....find yourself a 80yr old American sugar momma and marry her. :p

Seriously though, Europe would be your best bet. There are many free tuition universities and many allow foreigners to study for free too. I don't know the terms and all that, that's where google becomes your best friend ;)

I was thinking then maybe sticking with UNISA but go work overseas? Like I heard that you can be one of those camp people-in America (lol fat camp comes to mind :D )and they hook you up with a green card? Or is that bullpoo?

You need to ask why its free. Nothing in life is free. No European govt will subsidise foreign students. Far too politically sensitive. And I doubt the American's will either. In the UK, universities rely on the fees from foreign students to reduce fees paid by locals. Its the only reason politicians are still allowing foreign students into the country. I cant imagine Europe and the US will be much different.
