Living/ Studying Abroad?

[Dbbuzbee]

I have always been in love with the idea of living abroad. The cultural immersion has always been something that I've thought would be cool but never considered it. Now, I am a High School junior, gearing up to make a decision on college. (Parents really want me to go to college and are paying for it, I know the problems with college and that's why I'm considering this) Recently, I've been thinking about doing something different than the "pack" and I think going to an international university would fit the bill. I would like to study business but that's not official I haven't looked in depth on offerings of any schools because I don't know where to start. I would like anyone's opinions who have lived abroad or studied on 1) The best places to go for Americans in your opinion, (I only have proficiency in English) and 2) Where would you go or any other thing related to the topic of living abroad.
