Everyone talks about student visa being the easiest way to move.

Student visas are definitely one of the easier residence options, as long as you can find an appropriate course of study AND you have the money to pay for it. Typically, you need to show funds for living costs (rent, food, etc.) and your tuition fees (and, often, you need to pay the tuition in advance, and prove that you've done so).

You have to be careful that you choose an approved/accredited course, as not all courses/schools are acceptable for visa sponsorship. However, there are so many colleges and universities, and so many courses, that this isn't usually a barrier.

One concern is language, as most overseas courses of studies will not be in YOUR native language. Not surprisingly, they will either be taught in the local native language, or, sometimes, in English. This means you have to consider the language requirements, and how you will meet them.

Some countries have very low or free university tuition, so you can reduce the costs this way. For example, most US degrees will be very expensive, while, for example, many university courses in Germany are free. Even if there is free tuition, you have to check the qualifying conditions to see if it's only for citizens, or extended to all international students.

Some universities/courses extend some form of scholarship or tuition reduction, but it's usually because of your exceptional talent or prior academic results.

In terms of your math capability, you just have to check the entry requirements for your preferred courses, and that you meet them. Typically, a very artsy degree (e.g. fine art, drama, social studies, languages) won't have onerous math standards.

You should note that it's not strictly necessary to go to a university and do an undergraduate degree (3 or 4 years usually), or a graduate degree (1 or 2 years for master's, 3-10 for doctoral). Sometimes it's possible to do a shorter course (6-12 months) that leads to a specific award (certificate or diploma). Language schools and short courses of (nearly) full-time language study are often allowed too.

I studied in France and USA (as well as my home country, the UK). It was a great experience, and I enjoyed living in those countries, while getting great qualifications. But it cost a HUGE amount of money (and this was 25 years ago). It is definitely NOT a cheap option for most people, and you need to shop around carefully.

Good luck!
