F1/OPT student visa want to travel to Canada by driving?
I'm a student from Taiwan and holding a F1/OPT right now. my OPT will be expired in 04 September 08. I am planning to travel to Canada by driving on 08/03/2008 - 08/10/2008, if I have all the employee letter, OPT card, I-20 ...etc. all the documents, will it be a good idea to leave United state just a month before my OPT expired? am i going to have hard time re-enter the United State? and also, Canada tourist Visa is require for taiwanese, if I travel by driving. no round trip ticket. will that be okay to apply for canada tourist visa? Thank you

If you only holds OPT, I don't recommend you to travel outside of the US at all. All international student advisors should tell their students that holding an OPT does not mean you can re-enter the US. Most students who hold OPT do not go travel within this year because it's very possible to get rejected at the border when enter, not to mention that you will be leaving one month prior the exp. date. Because your opt expiring in one month and you do not show how you are going to prove to the CAN border that you will not overstay in Canada. I doubt if you can even get into Can. border. You may be rejected at the border. In terms of visa, yes, you do need one. Whether or not it's ok, you need to apply for one. Otherwise, how can you cross the border? However, you do have a great possibility to get rejected, due to the reasons I have already explained above.

i'm a taiwanese & live in taichung. we are kindly with malaysian.

For those who have their further study in Taiwan, usually they won't come back to Malaysia just because Malaysia is using Malay language as formal language. Most of the student who did their further study in Taiwan are not very good in Malay. (Sorry for that command). But to be honest, this is not the main problem. Is "racing" problem... I am working with Malaysian government. I still remember, I was not being orientated until one week after report duty to my station. If a Malay is coming for reporting, the office people will straight away orientate him/her and show him/her around. I am very pity to my new Pengarah, he is a Chinese man. Same thing had happen to him like me before... (Even he has the high post) Back to your question, regarding parties and meeting, usually over sea student they will have it. May be you need to find out someone you know who had been study to Taiwan. All the best.

First of all, call the school and ask that particular department for scholarship requirements. A friend of mine got into Stanford on a scholarship last year, BUT she also had a perfect score on the SAT, too. You may have to lower your standards a bit.
2 :
Both schools have programs in creative writing, but only NYU has a program in journalism, and neither school teaches fashion design. Very few schools offer scholarships to international undergraduate students, I'm afraid. Only if you are really outstanding in your field would you be considered for a scholarship if they have any which accommodate international students at any school, and at these in particular, since they are extremely selective schools. You may want to contact the financial aid offices at both schools, if you are really interested, to find out if they offer any such scholarships.

what is the university life like in America?
Hi~there My name is angela Wang and I am a college student in Taiwan. I am just wondering what is the life like in American universities? Is it really so interesting and colorful like the movies we see on TV? What do you usually do or like to do after school? I am quite curious about it, can you tell me more about it no matter where you from in America, please? Thank you! P.S please forgive me if there are any grammar mistakes.I am still trying to learn English well.thanks.

Do not trust TV. Not all students act like in the American Pie or Road Trip. It really depends on the person. I guess it is pretty much like in Taiwan. Most people from other countries think US universities are easy but the top universities in US can be pretty tough. People have to take more electives in US than other Commonwealth countries. Some states may also have history or language requirements which is rare in other countries. More exams and projects in US. Sure you can also choose to have a life like movies in US if you can. All it takes is popularity, money and sex appeals (just like everywhere else.) I think Australia has the easiest higher education system.

Your grammer seems to be coming along nicely. Your punctuation is good enough to think that you are well versed in english. As for university life, it really depends on what university you attend. Some private schools are very selective and frown upon the debauchery that you would see in the average hollywood film. Others are exactly what you would see in those films. Fraternities and sororities can party like no one's business, but what you don't see a lot of are their acts of charity. If you decide to go to a state funded university, be prepared for dorm life. You will be meeting all types of people from all walks of life. Thankfully, tolerance is highly promoted and you should not have any real problems with people who are less tolerable. There are usually gathering centers and advice centers for those who are from foreign countries, and should you have a problem, there will be someone to help you. Good luck on your endeavors, and should you seek an education in the U.S. I hope that you find the experience enjoyable and culturally stimulating.
