Why
Study in the USA
Maybe you want the very best education
available. Maybe you want to put your career
on the fast track by perfecting your English
and working with top professionals in your
field. Whatever your reasons, one thing is
clear – your next step is to come to the
U.S.A., which will help you achieve your
goals and have fun!
You have read about the U.S.A. every day in
the news, watched Hollywood films, listened
to U.S. songs and music videos and talked to
people from the U.S.A. Only by living in the
U.S.A. can you truly become fluent in
English and gain a deeper appreciation and
understanding of U.S. culture.
Life in the U.S.A. will probably be
different from what you expect. You may be
pleasantly surprised to find that the images
from films and television programs are not
always true. That is, Americans come in a
variety of sizes, colors and shapes.
Americans in general are very friendly and
will be interested in learning about you and
your country.
For any international student, the U.S.A.
has a lot to offer: the most prestigious,
top ranked education anywhere in the world,
eclectic cities and beautiful natural parks,
artistic, cultural, political and athletic
events, and a very multicultural population.
Diversity
The land and people of the U.S.A. are incredibly
varied. Wherever you choose to study, you will
encounter a regional culture rich in history,
local traditions and customs. The U.S.A. is a
multi-racial society that is still absorbing new
immigrants, which makes it a very dynamic and
exciting place to experience. While students
must exercise caution in a few locations, in
much of the U.S.A., streets and university
campuses are clean and safe.
Differences
U.S. universities may differ from those in your
own country in several ways. For one thing,
classes are generally small. There may be as few
as ten to twenty students in a class; an
education in the U.S. A. gives you the personal
attention you need in order to succeed. While in
class, students are encouraged and expected to
contribute to the discussion. Professors meet
with students in their offices or even share
coffee or meals with them. The close
relationship between students and faculty serves
to motivate students and fosters a personal
approach to the curriculum. Studying in the
U.S.A. gives you the opportunity to gain a
mentor in your given career field, an invaluable
resource.
You may be surprised at your professors’
willingness to challenge authority. Academic
freedom is one of the hallmarks of a U.S.
university. You will notice different
perspectives on instruction. In the U.S.A.,
students are trained to observe and analyze a
problem, then solve it. You will be expected to
listen to your classmates and challenge their
points of view. The goal is pragmatic, so that
you will gain confidence and the ability to
organize and present an argument.
Most U.S. university students live on or near
the school campus. When you are studying in the
U.S.A., you will have many opportunities to join
planned and informal activities with other
students, such as hiking, skiing, museum visits,
excursions to new cities, and U.S.A. tourist
attractions. Imagine visiting New York and
taking a ferry to the Statue of Liberty! This
interaction with other students will enhance
your language skills. Your fellow students will
also teach you about U.S. culture and about the
diverse cultures represented on any U.S. campus.
The
Leading Edge
While studying in the U.S.A., you will be
exposed to some of the most up-to-date
developments in technology. The U.S.A. is the
leader in many areas of technology. You may be
fortunate enough to meet, and even study, with
the leading scholars in your chosen field. Why
not study with the best?
Studying in the U.S.A. will exhilarate you. It
will change the landscape of your life
permanently. We guarantee that you will return
home changed: more confident, more open and
knowledgeable, a citizen of the world with a
much broader perspective!
