Can i get a student loan if i am going to a school in another country?

I'd stay away from student loans like the plague. You never know what life will throw at you. You cant get rid of student loans. it stay's with you. You can't chapter 11 them.

What are you studying? Does it guarantee a job?

art

no guarantee at all

Forget the student loan. It's better if you try something independently and sell your art.

Even if nobody wants your art, you never have to worry about debt.

Too bad you are not a Negroe, then in the USA all of your school is paid for 100%. Housing and books too.

Even at super expensive schools like California's UCLA Law School.

Art? 60,000?

Pad and Pencil = Priceless.

OK, true story.

There was this apartment complex (small one, like 80 units) in California.

There was this guy (an artist of talent in outline--but in my opinion not in colors to be commercially acceptable)

Anyway, nice guy, talented. Worked for the compex as a maintenance man. Part of his pay was a free apartment for him and his (kind of hippy) girlfreind who was a waitress at Big Boy on the overnight shift.

He had no car (spent all of his pay on art supplies, and would beg $$ for more, because as you know this stuff can cost and gets used up.)

His girlfreind walked--to save the planet (whales, dolphins, polar bears, I don't remember).

So no car, free apartment, free money for an easy 40 hours of on call type work in a super pleasant beach environment.

By the time the guy in in his late 30's he has a mega-portfolio of big and small and mediam peices (in colors I personally do not think are commercaily viable).

So he asks the city, can he have an art show in the park for X peices. They say yes, buy only for less peices than he wants.

So he buys the permit and sets up with the required amount, plus a few extras (skrew the man kind of thing you know).

Anyway, haveing never displayed (or sold) before, (about 15 years of work) he sells about 10 peices in the $100 to $200 range (his est cost of some of them)

But,

But,

But,

He is seen by a lot of well to do people, (picked the right park and went door to door in million dollar + house neighborhood leaving flyers.

So, he gets a gig to do an outdoor mural in Los Angeles on a building owned by someone who attened his showing.

He made GOOD MONEY on this and hired a crew of other artists to help.

Then, (last I spoke with him) he intended to spend every last dime he made on producing more art (the stuff he wanted to do, but couldn't afford)

Now this man didn't have a fancy Phd after his name, and to many he was simply a lowly mainanence man without a car and a wife who walked to work.

But digging deeper, whenever I delt with him I was dealing with an Artist (a working artist) who for part of his day handled maintainence at an apartment complex.

I (and the art world in general) have more respect for this one ARTIST than a boatload of Phd's going over a cliff (do boats go over cliffs).

Anyway, I'm not going to tell you his name, and if you pay some Phd $60,000, they just might tell yo about him. Then again maybe not, because he is not aq Liberal.

Just something to think about.

For YAH!

Are you any good?

I may be able to help you out if it is viable

Good luck
