1. STUDYING ABROAD: THE UNITED STATES
It takes a lot of preparation for international students to study in the USA. There are more factors
involved than the majority of students consider when they first decide to go abroad for their education,
and it is important to be informed beforehand so that no mistakes are made in the process of applying.
After doing a comprehensive college search, students may feel as though they have more questions
than answers. There are over four thousand colleges in the United States, and even after narrowing
down public and private colleges and picking a program within a specific field of study, it can feel
impossible to choose where to apply. This is why looking at some basic elements of school information
and statistics can help.
First of all, it is a good idea to consider where in the United States is the best place to study. Although it
may not seem like it from media representation always being centred on events in New York and
Hollywood, the US is an enormous place with all sorts of social and cultural areas, as well as physical
climates. While some opt for the east coast and its colonial schools like Harvard and Yale, many
international students choose the sunny west coast as a destination to study and experience American
culture. There are also other highly respected colleges all over the states, so north and south, east and
west, there are hundreds of options for any international student to pick.
It is also advisable to take a look at admission rates and the average grades that each school accepts. As
much as it feels awful to have college dreams crushed, it is better for students to play it safe and to
make sure that the universities on their lists are feasible. Application fees are expensive on their own, so

2. delegating funds to the schools that will actually work out is better than shooting too high and wasting
money.
A third element to take into consideration is how friendly the particular school is to international
students. For students who are coming to a whole different country, especially if there are language
barriers, it can be a difficult transition. Some colleges are worse than others when it comes to
multiculturalism and diversity, so if this is a concern, it is best for foreign students to choose a college
that will provide them with an environment that will allow easy adaptation into the campus climate.
Finally, an important element to look into when applying for colleges out of the country is how many
spots the actual school holds for international students. Although many colleges nowadays are more
eager than ever to welcome students from all over the world, there is still a lot of limitation to how many
international students can enroll compared to how many local students are accepted at colleges. It is a
good idea to check these kinds of administrative policies before investing the time, energy, and money
into applying for a college in the United States.
