WHY STUDY IN USA

Flexibility and Choice

There are over 4000 institutions in the US, and we help transfer student from one College/university to another
within the 4 year period of undergraduate study. With thousands of higher education institutions in America, students have endless choices and the search can be daunting. Fortunately, there is flexibility in changing schools or changing majors should the fit not be right for a student. Research has shown that 1/3 students switch institutions at least once within their 4 year period of undergraduate study.

Focus and Well-Rounded individuals and Education

The United States, widely recognized as a world leader in education, offers a complex array of choices, from types
of institutions (colleges, universities, specialty schools – over 4,000 in total), to majors and minors, to extracurricular activities that can support networking and build leadership skills. With so many choices, it can be a challenge for any student to determine what is best for them. In fact, nearly 40% of all U.S. college students end up transferring from one school to another. We help students navigate the complex university admissions process and provide them with the tools needed to succeed in their degree program.

Internship Opportunity

US education allows for experiential learning, which involves hands-on learning that integrates academic study with real-world experiences to help prepare you for your future career. One such opportunity is the internship which is an academic course that enables you work and put into practice what you learn in theory. It is usually related to your measure and prospective career, also you may be paid for it!!! We advise that you get immigration advice on Curricular Practical Training (CPT), which will be required for all international students to participate in internship programs.

COLLEGE VERSUS UNIVERSITY

The naming of college versus university does not imply any difference in prestige or selectiveness, it simply points
to the level of study offered.
Technically, universities differ from colleges in that they are research-oriented institutions which provide both
undergraduate and graduate education whereas colleges offer undergraduate study only.
A Bachelor’s degree can be obtained at either a college or university although the term ‘college’ is often used
colloquially to refer to undergraduate study as a whole.
For historical reasons, some universities with a wide variety of graduate programs – such as Boston College and
Dartmouth College – have retained the term “college”.

US VISA OVERVIEW

Getting admission offers to study in the US is the least of your worries. What you should be concerned about is if
you will be allowed into the country to start your study. So Visa procurement matters in your journey to study in any
university in America. First of all, you need to get all the information you can on what type of visa you need to apply
for:
Attending an accredited US college, university, or high school needs an F-1 student visa.
Students who are government sponsored or on exchange programs for a semester or year may be issued J-1 visas
which are also accepted for study at our programs.
A visa waiver program exists enabling students from 37 participating countries to study in the US without a visa
under two conditions – the student’s stay is under 90 days and the course of study includes no more than 18 hours
of instruction per week.

In order to begin the student visa application process, the student must be accepted into an American institution and
receive a Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20) from that institution.
In addition to acceptance into a program, a student must also provide evidence that he/she have sufficient funds at
their disposal to pay for tuition, food and boarding for the duration of their stay. This is essential and the I-20 cannot
be issued without the appropriate financial documentation.
Once the student receives the I-20 from our institution, he or she is able to make an appointment for a visa
interview. Procedures on obtaining an interview varies from country to country and the most accurate
information can be found at www.usembassy.state.gov Students will need to provide, at minimum, the
following items:

• A valid passport
• A receipt for the paid non-refundable visa processing fee
• A I-901 form (a receipt showing that the required SEVIS fee is paid www.ice.gov/sevis/i901/)?

Documented proof that the student or student’s parents will have enough money to cover tuition and living expenses
for the duration of the student’s stay – this can come in the form of a notarized bank statement and/or a letter from
the parents stating they will support the student Visas can be issued up to 120 days before the scheduled date of
departure. Appointments should therefore not be scheduled any earlier than this four month period.

VISA REFUSAL: Common Causes

• Insufficient funds
• No strong ties to home-country
• Dishonesty during Visa Interview
• Falsified documentation
