July brought a lot of uncertainty for many international students in the United States, so we are pleased to have moved into August. Not only is it a new month, it’s also the beginning of a new semester for some of you. To help you with last minute preparations we have a few options you can count on for insurance, loans and textbooks. If you’re still trying to find a university outside your home country, we have some suggestions on where to begin. We continue to stand by students like you looking to pursue an international education and look forward to providing you with the guidance you need to make it happen.
