Choosing universities from thousands of miles away presents
some challenges — especially when there are so many outstanding
universities to choose from in the United States. However,
careful planning and advance research will help you come up
with a manageable short list of institutions that match your
needs. Every student is different, and it is very important
to consider the factors that are important to you in both
your education and your lifestyle.
This section will give you some ideas on where to get further
help and information and on what academic and lifestyle factors
to consider in developing a short list of universities. Finding
the right academic and personal match requires careful planning,
research, and networking on your part. No special formula
or answer applies to everyone. You should begin the process
of reflection and research 12 to 18 months before you wish
to start studying in the United States.
