  2. Why study in the USA? • The world’s most popular international student destination (there are more than 750,000 students) • Highest-ranked universities in the world (The USA has world’s top 10 universities according to the 2013/2014 Times Higher Education World University Rankings) • 76 of the top 200 universities are based in the USA. • Huge, sprawling campuses that feel like cities and small, intimate campuses that feel like a collection of close friends. Tropical islands, dry deserts, snowy plains, the Grand Canyon, California, and New York City. • Living on campus in the USA can offer you the opportunity to enrich your educational experience and meet new friends. Or you may choose to live off campus. USA universities offer a wide choice of academic, cultural and athletic activities.

  3. Education system… • Tertiary education is typically divided into: • Associate degrees • Undergraduate (bachelor) degrees • Graduate education (master’s and PhDs/doctorates) • USA universities place great significance on diversity, meaning classes will consist of students of different ages, religions and countries of origin. • Most classes will contain no more than 20 students and the professors will take the time to get to know students and their strengths and will usually be willing to spend time outside of class to offer further support.

  4. Cost of studying • Tuition will be the most expensive component of your educational costs (price range $10,000-$55,000 per year). • Accommodation costs will depend on personal preferences and the city you reside in (price range from $3,000-$8,000 per year). • Most campuses offer a meal plan for students to allow dining in the on-campus facilities. These plans are offered at many different levels to accommodate individual budgets. • Most campuses also require students to pay for medical insurance ($1,000 per year). • Other costs to budget for are fees for student activities, which amount to a few hundred dollars per year and reference books ($500-$1,500 per year).

  5. Employment prospects • In the USA there are options to work part-time on campus during your first year of study. • International students in the USA can work in a job on campus up to 20 hours a week. • Nearly every university, even those not located in big cities, has employees dedicated to helping students secure internships. All USA universities also offer extra-curricular activities that provide real-world job experience. • Another option that appeals to many students is to broaden their study experience through semester or summer-long study abroad and exchange programs, offered by most universities as well as outside study abroad providers.
