Hey I’m a USA citizen right now and am worried that I’m going to be deported, so I’m wondering if I can study in another country? Does anyone know? Thank you

        Here is what I’d do.

        Find a group who are trans-friendly in another country where they teach the program you want. Community/friend will be helpful because they will know how to protect you, what to say/do in a foreign land.

        Then study how to get a student visa there and apply to a school that teach your program. Also if you are a top performer, they may be interested in hosting you with social advantages (lodging/food/other nice stuff). So shop around.

        The world is not a friendly place right now. You might want to tell everyone you are a trans-communist but right now your first focus should be your survival. To survive you will need to keep your ideals to yourself for a while.

        Also be wary of anyone who tries to convince you there are magical place where everything is nice. These persons are ideologists and should be ignored until you can ascertain for yourself what is the material reality of the place.

        So: TL;DR.

        Look for a community first. Don’t listen to fairy tales. Look at the actual reality of the place. Talk to people actually living there who are people that are at least, a bit like you. Then find a school and contact them. Then get a student visa or equivalent. Hide what you are as much as you can.

        That’s going to be your op-sec for now on.

        Thanks care friend

    You could apply for the CPC sponsored scholarship program to study in China. You have to get accepted but they pay for flights, school, living costs, and give a monthly stipend for spending. They have English programs so you dont have to speak Chinese altho it helps.

        You can look up CCN education, it’s an association of 40 or so tertiary education institutions in China. I’m actually doing this program to do my bachelors soon, so if you need any help you can ask me.

        Though 1 thing I’ll advise you is to not study in Beijing or Shanghai if possible, accomodation or renting in general is expensive as fuck, literally every other city in China is very reasonable and I dare say cheap. And all the tuition is standardised across the country so course fees in the same course but diff university will be the same. Also look at getting scholarships like the Chinese Government Scholarship, Provincial Scholarship, universities themselves also offer scholarships, and a few other institutions.

            Try searching China Campus Network, they have a few social medias, maybe try to reach out to them there?

            i used deepseek to find info about it im pretty sure youll have to apply and be accepted to a chinese university first and then go to your local chinese consulate and apply for the scholarship there in person.
