My cousin is an overseas national currently studying the final year of high school in Australia. Her mother has recently moved to the USA and wants my cousin to study a bachelor's degree in California, to be closer to their new home.
All the way on the other side of the globe, my cousin and I think that my cousin will have to apply for US universities with her secondary qualifications in Australia, which means as an international student, right? Yet she would really be a permanent resident in status. Is there any disadvantage being treated as an international student?
Also, regarding degrees:
- how expensive? Are degrees typically subsidised by the government, and if so, by how much?
- how long does the application process to a university take? (e.g. the maximum length of time?)
-how viable is it to have relevant classes done in an Australian university count towards an equivalent degree in an American university?
I realise there are a lot of questions and that they're all very broad, but even generalities will help at this stage, as we have little idea of how the American education system works. Even links explaining clearly how the system works would be wonderful.
Well, I had a friend that went to high school here and actually traveled to Australia during the middle of the school year. I believe she was in the Austrailian school for a month or so. As far as I know, she didn't have much trouble. I'm not too sure about American university rules though.

Hmm. Seems like a slightly different case, but still, anecdotes are useful, so thank you.
