Concierge Service

Posted on 2nd April 2010

The concierge service allows you, as an international student, to receive information from schools and colleges in the USA that are interested in and are looking for international students that meet your criteria. Most of the time, it can be hard for students to locate schools - so through the concierge service, schools will contact you. Simply submit your details and then let us do the work for you and find, match and have those schools directly contact you with information about their campus and programs. We have partnerships with schools all over the USA who are looking to recruit international students - and we will match you directly with those schools.

Student Blogs

Posted on 2nd April 2010

Keeping up-to-date with current international and study abroad students is a great way to learn about what life is really like when you study outside of your home country. We have three great student bloggers who offer a fantastic insight into what life is like in the USA and when you study abroad in Europe, they include:

The winner of the 2009 Travel Video Contest, Sandy Florenz has taken over the Study Abroad Blog (from Matt, our previous Study Abroad Blogger, who has returned to the US after 2 full years of blogging!) and she is providing a great insight to the prep work needed to study in Europe. Sandy is still preparing herself to study in Italy and she will be charting the trials and tribulations as she gets ready for her adventure!

The second and third bloggers are Lindo Lindo and Laura Herrejón. Lindo Lindo, from the Philippines joins Laura on our Study in the USA Blog. You will remember Lindo from our Travel Video contest and his hilarious spoof video that won a prize. He is charting his adventures as he studies in the USA under the Global UGrad program at North Central University in Illinois, and we really look forward to hearing more from LL!

Study Advice Centers

Posted on 13th February 2009

When you plan to study in another country, the best way to start is to gather as much information as possible and do as much research as you can to learn about that country. We have created our "Study Centers", where you can find information, resources and advice for studying in a particular country. Each center offers information about the country, the culture, the climate, etc.. but will also provide you with detailed information about the education system and how you can prepare yourself to study there.

We currently provide study centers for international students who are planning to Study in the USA, Study in the UK, Study in Australia and our Study Abroad center is for US Students who are looking for a semester (or longer) outside the USA.

New USA Sim Card Options

Posted on 11th February 2009

If you are coming to study, travel or work in the USA and you want a low-cost calling option for both domestic and international calls then your best option would be to purchase a domestic USA based sim card. With the International Sim Card options for the USA, you can purchase either a prepaid T-Mobile or Redpocket Mobile sim card and potentially save hundreds of dollars on roaming costs compared to using your sim card from your home country.

For more information about the various sim card options and their pricing for both calls inside the USA and to countries all around the world, please take a look at the sim card pages. You can also order your sim card online and have it delivered to you anywhere in the world within a few days!
