Re: For all interested in the Disney College Program!

I just looked through the college program about requirements at wdw and fell over the words "Students must be currently enrolled and taking classes in a college or university in the United States and have completed at least one semester."
Does this really mean I, living in Europe, have to move to America and go to college for a year and then apply not even knowing if I will ever be accepted?
Were there any students who came from other places than US when you were there? or did I just understand this right?



I know they have an international program but reading about that I fell over the lines:
"Although participants may not pursue a career in the hospitality, entertainment or service industries, they will have the opportunity to learn skills that will be valuable to them in many of their future endeavors. They will also have the opportunity to make professional connections with leaders from a variety of disciplines through numerous networking events."
Well I want to study/pursue a career within entertainment at/with Disney, that's the only thing I know for sure. So it doesn't sound like to me that this is the right thing for me. But when I go to a chatforum for the international program people are talking about how you can be a character there! I am so confused right now i'm about to cry! Please help!





Sorry for all the questions, but this is a big step going to the other side of earth and nobody aroundme knows about this stuff soo... I'm gonna have to go to some student counseling center in Copenhagen to have them look at all of this (takes 6 hours by train!), but I wanted to ask you guys too.

Oh btw I have one more question. Given I live in Europe and, if I understand it correctly, have to live in America a year going to college I will have to rent an apartment. But what do I do financialy if I do get accepted to the Disney college program? Has any of you had to finance both the home you live in normally where you have all of your belongings and furniture and your apartment at Disney?
