Do you want to practice English? Find a better job? Experience American culture?
Studying abroad in the United States helps you with all that. Students all over the world study at U.S. colleges, where they tend to also find a chance to travel and meet friends and notables, from business experts to artists to sports figures. And many international students graduate and find that a U.S. degree is highly marketable to future employers.
