Re:저희아이가 간호학을 전공......

[이실직고]

몸이 아파서 며칠 들어 오질 못했네요. 죄송합니다. 답변 늦어서요.

질문처럼 걱정도 많으시겠습니다. 그러나 학생 본인의 의지가 굳다면 그것만으로도 많은 것을 이미 얻었음을 믿으세요. 묻지마 유학이라고 부모 등에 떠밀려 온 학생들 숱한 미국입니다. 공부란 것이 누가 떠민다고 하는 것이 아닌만큼 님의 경우 아이의 의자가 굳으니 이 부분으로나마 위안을 삼으시길 바랍니다. 그 결과는 훨씬 좋으리라 믿어 의심치 않습니다.

간호학과가 있는 대학은 아주 많습니다. 대개의 주립대가 이 학과를 가지고 있는 것으로 사료됩니다.

그러나 간호학과는 의과대처럼 딱히 정해진 일류가 없습니다. 미국서 간호학은 의대의 일부처럼 여겨지기 때문에 크게 의대가 유명한 곳이 간호학도 좋다고 보셔야 하지요.

그러나 대개의 경우 간호학은 일반 칼리지에도 과정이 있기 때문에 여기서 Undergraduate을 하는 겨우도 많습니다. 따라서 제가 보기에는 님의 경우 특별히 한국서 방향을 잡아 주시려는 것보단 학교측의 상담을 받아서 이후 진로를 결정하는 것이 옳아 보입니다. 미국은 처음부터 4녀네, 2년제 ㅣ렇게 나누어지지 않으니까요. 이점 참조 하시구요.

달라스로 옮기는 것은 일단 방법으로 보입니다. 베톤루지 지역이 좀 외진 곳이라 부모님이 방문을 한다고 해도 쉽지 않을 것이구요. 아이 역시 별 의지할 곳이 없는 곳보다는 아무래도 한인들이 좀 사는 대도시로 나오는 것도 좋아 보이기 때문입니다.

달라스에는 UT 계열(University Texas) 학교들이 2군데나 있구요. 모두 간호학 과정이 있습니다. 몇몇 커뮤니티 칼리지에도 과정이 있구요. 아이에겐 선택의 폭이 좀 생길 수 있을 겁니다.

또한 무엇보다 시설 좋은 사립학교들이 많습니다. 일전에 문의하셨던 크리스천 아카데미들도 곳곳에 있구요. 개중엔 내노라하는 사립들도 있네요. 이 역시 선택의 폭이 잇어서 좋을 것입니다.

그러나 가장 문제는 아이의 배경입니다. 모르는 곳에서 아이를 리드해줄 만한 든든한 배경이 서주질 못한다면 선택에 대한 결과는 호될 수도 있지요. 따라서 이 부분은 부모님이 직접 미국에 오셔서 아이와 함께 가이던스를 찾아 주시는 것이 가장 좋아 보입니다. 아이가 혼자 자생할 수 있는 나이대에 있으므로 좋은 홈스테이 조건만 찾으신다면 1_2년 안에는 완전히 정착이 되지 않을까 싶네요.

물론 부모님이 합류하신다면 금상첨화일 것이구요.

끝으로 학비문제는 수강 과목수와 학생 자격요건에 따라 달라지오니 일단 학교로 직접 문의하시거나 방문해 보시는 것이 가장 좋을 것 같습니다. 참고로 UT Arlington의 Description of Tuition, Fees, and Charges를 올려 드립니다. 보기가 좀 힘이 드시겠지만 참고만 하시기 바랍니다.

좋은 부활절 되시길 기도합니다.

Other Registration Expenses

General Property Deposit

The Texas Education Code, Section 54.502(a), directs that "an institution of higher education may collect a reasonable deposit not to exceed $100 from each student to insure the institution against losses, damages, and breakage in libraries and laboratories. The deposit shall be returned on the withdrawal or graduation of a student, less any amount necessary to cover any loss, damage, or breakage caused by the student." The University of Texas at Arlington shall collect a property deposit of $10.

Deposits are refunded automatically at the end of the semester to students who graduate or withdraw. Deposits are refunded by request at the end of the semester to students who neither graduate nor withdraw, but do not plan to return. Property deposits which are dormant for four years are forfeited into the Student Deposit Scholarship Fund.

International Student Health Insurance

International students are required to purchase The University of Texas at Arlington Student Health Insurance Plan while enrolled at the University. Exceptions to this requirement are:

• Coverage by the U.T. Arlington faculty/staff insurance
• Continuing coverage under a mandatory government-sponsored health plan
• Continuing coverage under a mandatory employer-sponsored insurance plan

Proof of coverage and benefits provided must be documented and must be comparable to the University-sponsored plan. All policies under the three categories of exceptions must contain at least a $7,500 repatriation benefit and a $10,000 medical evacuation benefit. All policies must meet USIA regulations for those in "J" status. If coverage does not include medical evacuation and repatriation, supplemental policies covering those items will be made available.

항상 고맙습니다 아프시다고 하셨는데 괜찮으신지요 얼마전에 저희 아이도 몸이 아파서 학교를 처음으로 빠졌다는 이야기를 듣고 마음이 무척이나 아팠습니다 항상 저건너 들려 오는 딸의 목소리에 귀를 기울여 지게 됩니다 언제나 건강하시고 행복하세요 그리고 계신곳은 어느쪽이신지요

[이실직고]

제가 있는 곳 말인가요? 전 달라스 북쪽의 플레이노에 살고 있습니다. 이쪽에도 트리니티라고 아주 유명한 크리스천 아카데미가 있지요. 학군도 좋구요. 그럼. 꾸벅!
