Compelling articles

The articles that I found to be the most compelling was “Going off to College for Less”.  Traveling has always been something that I loved to do, I love going to new places and experiencing new things and I was shocked to find out that I could have gone off to another country for college and still for less.  Also to find out that is was Saint Andrew’s in Scotland also surprised me because I have always known that it was very prestige’s school but recently I know one person to decide to actually go through with leaving to go to that specific school for college. I did not know that there is more of an advantage with the government encouraging them to accept international students and in the end still paying for their tuition. So that really helped me relate to the article because I have known many people that after high school decided to travel internationally to go to school and it would surprise me as I always thought well how would they pay for it.  Especially now that  money is tight and knowing that governments are supporting a more international economy it really is the perfect time to travel and venture out for college.  I found it difficult to understand where exactly was cheaper sort of understood that it was with scholarships but did it really even out in the end? There were not many terms that i didnt understand in this article i wish the focused more on the actual cost than the helicopter parents.
