This idea is for a business that helps future students avoid horrendous tuition fees in the states (or many other countries), while broadening their horizons.
The catch (or bonus): You study abroad in a country without tuition fees.

They exist – I live in Germany and there is no such thing as tuition fees here. There is a small administrative fee (around 200€/semester, including a public transport ticket for 6 months). Some more info at Wikipedia.

So the idea is as follows: You create a service that helps setting students up in a country of their choosing easily. You help with the administrative part – getting the necessary documents from the school, check for language requirements, help with the Visa etc. Then you help the student get settled in by finding them an apartment, cell phone contract etc. Take all the pain away of moving abroad.
You make sure they’re at a good language school. You could have the students be part of a network and organize local events, or cooperate with a language school and feed each other customers.

Depending on where they go, students are looking at 6-figure loans in the States, which is absolutely insane by the way. For the tuition of one year at some American universities, you can complete a whole bachelor’s degree, cost of living included.

There is a lot of money to be saved and there are many advantages of living abroad for a while,  so people could be willing to pay for the service.

It’s just an idea. Feel free to turn it into more.
