While the advantages of studying in the US are enormous, it is important that
you choose a suitable course and university through careful planning. You would
need to seek objective information from reliable sources and weigh the options
to make an academically sound decision. When planning, it is important to
consider the following:
Academic eligibility:
Once you choose an academic major or field of study, consider the
eligibility requirements and proceed only if you meet those requirements.
Cost:
The estimated average of tuition and living expenses is around $20,000 per
academic year. Begin searching and applying for scholarships, assistantships and
education loans at least a year before the commencement of the academic course.
Time:
Start the search for a suitable academic program about 12 to 18 months
before the date of enrollment. Though it is sometimes possible to complete the
process more quickly, planning ahead gives a student a wider choice and
sufficient time to prepare a winning application.
Employability:
Considering the amount of time, energy and money that one invests in
the process, you should be aware of the employment prospects after you
graduate.
