We present this Five Easy Steps To Study In USA guide to help you make an informed decision in choosing, applying for and making the actual move to the United States of America as an International student.
Research;
Finding a college or university that best suits your needs requires doing research on your options before beginning your study abroad program in the United States. Instead of attempting to fit yourself to a school, look for a school that fits your priorities and long-term objectives.
Keep in mind that American colleges and universities don’t have an official ranking system. The college or university that best suits your academic, financial, and personal needs is the one you should attend.
You should start your research at least 12 to 18 months before the academic year you intend to enroll in a U.S. college or university. In this section, under each level of study, begin by answering these fundamental questions before looking at the more specific “define your priorities” pages:
- Why do you want to study in the United States?
- Where will you fit in best?
- Which colleges or universities will meet your needs?
- Will you need financial assistance?
- What are the application and financial aid deadlines?
- Where do you want to live in the United States?
Select your academic level (undergraduate, graduate, etc.) to find out more about exploring your options. Remember that the institutions to which you are applying must be approved by the Student Exchange Visitor Program. You can find a searchable list of certified schools on the Department of Homeland Security’s Study in the State’s website.
Invest in yourself! The cost of living and studying varies across the United States. With the right amount of planning and research, pursuing a U.S. higher education can be made affordable with high returns on your investment.
