I want to go to college in the US but I don't really see how I can. It seems to cost so much. Do any of you take loans? If I were to move to the US will I be a good candidate for getting a loan? I have no idea how these things work.

And I would appreciate if anyone could recommend schools or websites with names and url's to different schools. I'm gonna research a lot but it would help me a lot if you could assist me :) I'm specifically looking for schools that provide courses (majors) in either or both Osteology or Forensic Anthropology (and maybe Forensic Science). I cannot stress enough how appreciative I am if you would help.

Also, do you know of any scholarships that help Europeans come to america and go to school?

My school doesn't offer those particular majors, but it does organize an annual forensic anthro field school. I believe they usually visit Albania and some other locations. The web site for it says that the course credit gained from it is transferable to all US and Canadian universities, so if you study somewhere else you could take advantage of this if you wanted to. And it seems like you could do it just for the experience as well without doing it for credit.

Here's the web site:

It still has the summer '08 info up, but it should still be useful.
