He is 18
At Uni
Looking for a webdesign placement in the US for his gap year.
If you are looking at being paid, I would forget it. Otherwise you best bet is to see what exchange programs your Uni has.

Re: Fancy Experiencing US
I am actually awaiting exam results which will tell me if I am off to Uni in September, and if I get in (optimistic), then my year out will be in 08/09 if all goes well, the third of the four years of the course.
I am not overly choosey at present regarding what part of the US I go to, I was wondering if you could all help me in that regard. I currently live in Manchester, UK, but that doesn't mean I can't cop some hot sun (although not the Las Vegas level of heat!) and do quite enjoy it. I am not overly sociable, so am not bothered about having super friendly communities, just as long as the community is safe and the people are easily approachable. I have always liked the look of San Francisco though, I must add.
What sort of finance would I be looking at raising if I ended up doing this? I am not counting on getting paid whilst I am there.
Thanks

Re: Fancy Experiencing US
I would go for a course that includes this option.
US Education Costs are high, GBP10,000 plus is not unusual and then of course living costs, probably similar.
Or you could look at a J1 maybe.

GBP10k - are you sure? That would be ... very reasonable!
"International students will need approximately $43,830 to cover expenses for one year at UC Berkeley. Tuition and fees are about $25,830 and living expenses are approximately $18,000. Tuition and fees are subject to change without notice."
:scared:
(Particularly since UC fees are still considerably lower than most other public colleges.)

I wouldn't be going to a US University, my University is in the UK. I would just be spending 7 or 8 months in the US on a placement, in theory.

I do not know if when you do an exchange year or 8-9 months you can avoid paying the fee's, I am guessing not.
Otherwise getting an Intern might be an option? - modern day slave labour.

A decent one.
