I'm still in high school so I don't know anything about colleges and universities. I wanted to say that Russian and Chinese are both really difficult languages. I've learned Russian for 3 years (Estonia is next to Russia, so it's good to now the language) and I'm basicly nowhere.

Also I wanted to ask about the school system in USA, I was thinking about maybe someday apply to some US college (I want to study English, Literature or History), but I don't know anything about it.
Is getting into a public college as hard as getting into some private school?
Can foreign students even apply to a US college?

Actually I have a lot more quetions, but I can't think of any right now.

At least for my school, it is quite easy for foreign students to get in. They even get a discounted price. Public colleges have varying criteria for getting accepted, but it is not very hard--just expensive. Public colleges are beginning to cost more and more because more and more students are opting for online schools. You could probably get a college degree, Pilleriin, at a US college without having to leave Estonia! Private schools are harder to get into and much more expensive than public schools. But that might be easier for you, like with public schools, because you're a foreign student.

Thanks Kristie!
