我之前都想DSE 後送女兒到加卅讀CC, 雖然CC 係平啲, 但係要留意想揀嘅科目係咪可以全數transfer 去state U, 有啲科可能只有residence 可讀, 仲有要check 吓State U 的學費如何, 因為現在美國經濟差, 收取國際學生學費都唔平.

You can check Casper College in Wyoming. Living expense is very low.

For private college ( 4 years ):
My experience is 1M.

For public college ( 4 years):
It should be around 600k+. For example http://www.stonybrook.edu/bursar ... and-fee-rates.shtml

For CC ( usually 2 years):
It is around 200k+. For example http://www.qcc.cuny.edu/bursar/tuition.html

cc太複雜. 所以到最後我都沒無考慮

CC平唔少b0r

我自己都係美國讀緊,講真唔係讀CC學壞,而係識左D咩朋友.
我眼見好多朋友都係上左大學先出事,最容易係食毒品,因為好易買到.
千萬唔好比咁多零用錢佢地,放假就最好返HK,
再唔係簡一D區比較少華人既地方讀.
SAN FRANCISCO同LOS ANGELES太多誘惑免得過都唔好簡.

How about New York City

Sunny is in ny? Living expense very high.  Better to go smaller town and easier to learn practice English.

Four year 1M hkd if no scholarship.

Cannot agree more.  If you send yours kids to the US (in fact, any other countries) for study, stay away from all the Chinese (HK, Taiwan, mainland, whatever).   And stay away from big cities.   The chance of the kid picking up drugs and stuff will be lower.  Besides, the chance of developing a good command of English is higher.

One good thing about CC is if you can get good GPA, probably its easier to transfer to a better university  of course unless your kid already has very good SAT and TOFEL scores now.....
it's true that big cities will have more temptation for kids, but don't forgot some cities usually has a better chance of being "discriminated", especially if you need the mid state.....

I studied in CC and transfer to UCLA, got my MBA and work for over 10 years in US, I've seen a lot of Hong Kong kids never even speak English in big cities like LA and SF.....however, I have also seen a lot of "red neck" behavior in states that dont have a lot of chinese.
