I don't know about Texas, but here in Florida students usually study abroad in Spain. I myself have been to Spain and it is absolutely gorgeous. Being the fact that you've lived in Texas your entire life, a Spanish country might suite you well. Spain truly is magnificant.

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you should probably put some more thought into this.
What languages do you speak, or want to learn? Do you want to study with a program or just go abroad? How long would you go? What can you afford (some countries may be more costly than you can afford.)? Etc, etc, etc.
That said, I have lived in Costa Rica, Colombia, Cuba, Germany, Japan, and all over the US. I have also vacationed in most of western Europe and the caribbean. If any of these places interest you, let me know. I would be glad to give you my opinion. Every country I have visited has offered positive and negative experiences and wonderful people.

I think California has a lot to offer you. I grew up there and lived there for 20 years and loved it. It really all depends on what part you go to though. There are a lot of amusement parks and tons of things to do and people to meet. Have you heard of the Museum of Tolerance? It is very interesting and will be a great experience for you I'm sure. I went there for a field trip in high school and I couldn't believe any of it, I was blown away. It was that great of an experience. But there really are tons of things to learn there and experience. I wish you the best!!

I suggest England. Great schools and just enough in common not to be too much of a shock. Also it's quite easy to jump over and visit all the other great countries in Europe.

i suggest england, it's a fantastic country, they speak english, and if you can get into universities like oxford and survive, your life is set! Whn i was younger my parents wanted to send me to boarding school in India i said england, we took a flight to england and checked out a few schools, i got a merit scholarship but it was still too expensive, so the school hunt became a relaxing vacation!

Unless you speak another foreign language fluently, if you are going to study in another country, make sure the language of the land is English.

Try Vietnam, Iraq, Iran etc. It will shows you the other side of the reality.
But if you don't want to be so extremely with your choices, then you also could start with China and India.
If you still hesitate, then try Europe (but not UK).

Switzerland. University is free, but books are not. Swiss and French are the official languages.
