Going to college/university in Europe with an American High School Diploma?
I am a USA citizen, and a EU citizen. I was born in the USA, but my mother is from Poland. I have a USA passport, and a Polish passport. I was wondering, with my American High School Diploma, how do I get into an European university in Ireland or the UK? Im thinking of becoming an architecture or orthodontist. What schools should I look into too? Do I pay international student fees or EU fees?

I am having the same dilemma. I am a dual citizen of both the United States and Sweden (which makes me an EU citizen). Apparently to pay the 'home' or 'EU' fees in Britain you have to meet certain residency requirements... i.e. living in Europe for 3 years prior to your first day at university, which I'm assuming you haven't (on account of the fact that you have an American diploma). Therefore, I would also assume that you (and me) would have to pay international student fees, which on average is 10,000 pounds a year. And I'm still not entirely sure about how the student loans from the British government would work either. I guess you would just apply as an international student and see what happens.. Good luck with university...

You have to pay international fees as you are not resident. You might have a problem with your diploma. Most of Europe does IB exams, in the UK students take IB or A Levels. This is roughly equivelant to AP classes, so you might not have the entry requirements. The link below is a typical British uni entrance requirement. http://www.shef.ac.uk/usa/entry.html You are not entitled to loans from the British government - why should British tax payers pay for your education?
