I worked in International Admissions, so I dealt with foreign students' applications, e-mails, etc. It was more interesting than it sounds, and if I hadn't of been forced to leave due to my health I would still be there now. Not what I'd pictured doing with my life, but...well, a job is a job, right? xD
US College is the equivalent to UK University I think, so yeah, definitely helps to get it all for free. As opposed to the terrifying debt you'd rack up otherwise. Having access to that will no doubt make you very popular amongst your extended family though, aha. Best of luck~
On a totally random and semi-related note...do you have Discord, by any chance? :3
