It really depends on what you want to do -- if you want to go to college, the US has really good colleges, it sounds like you can qualify for in-state tuition, and almost every college has an exchange program where you can go to school in another country and get a good feel for the country.
I wouldn't recommend picking up and moving to another country unless:
1. You have relatives there or really, really good friends.
2. You've been before and know the language and know what you are doing.
3. You have some sort of support system (like a school with a good foreign students' advisory group).
4. You have a good job waiting for you, and you know your employer will help you adjust to a) the workplace and b) a foreign culture.
5. You just have this urgent desire to go, no matter what, and you feel you are young enough to bounce back even if the experience proves to be a bad one (because moving overseas can cost a lot of money).
Travelling, or travelling and working part-time, however is a whole different matter. If you have the chance to go over the summer, go! You'll have great stories to tell for the rest of your life! And if you like it, you can commit to moving there -- and if you don't like it, you can easily come back to the States, or try a different country.
(-: Be careful, though. I've been living in Japan almost 20 years, and sometimes you find you never go back!

I did, and I LOVED IT!! I moved to Italy for 2 years after graduation and it was one of the greatest experiences i've ever had. It really taught me alot and helped me grow up. experiencing another culture is an un-forgettable experience!!

it depends upon decision. for me yes, schooling is not just for study but for discovering.
