4. TOEFL Scores Open More Doors
The TOEFL test is the best academic English-language test in the world. It is accepted by 6,000 colleges and
universities in more than 100 countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the
United States. And that means more opportunity for your academic success.
Why do so many schools recognize the TOEFL test? Because it measures the English-language skills you'll use
when you study, so success on the test means success on campus from day one. And it provides fair testing, with the
unbiased, objective scoring schools rely on to help them make vital decisions.
No wonder the TOEFL test has been taken by more than 18 million students worldwide!

6. Student Sound-off - HOT Topics from the mail bag
As you can see we have
changed our "Student Sound-off" topic slightly as we are now going to scan our forums, blog and mailbag for topics
that are interesting you during the last month! This month our hot topic appears to be insurance - and trying to
find a high quality cheap plan...
Question/Comment:
Right now i am at the USA. I am from vietnam. Now i am going to college. My college
named Bloomsburg University in PA. I want to purchase your student insurance but i dont know: Does this insurance
apply to my school in PA?
Answer:
A question that we always get is from students looking to waive from their schools plan. Most
schools will allow you to opt for another insurance plan as long as it meets certain requirements and hence we
developed the Student Secure plan which will meet most schools requirements. You can see the plan online at: http://www.internationalstudentinsurance.com/student-health-insurance/
Of course all schools have varying requirements, but most of the time the Student Secure will meet most
schools requirements and the plan will cost you:
6 Months Student Secure
Select Plan - $456
Budget Plan - $276
If you want to see if you can apply for this plan instead of your schools give the insurance specialists an
email or call at (877) 328-1565 option 4 or email them at info@internationalstudentinsurance.com - alternatively
simply apply online!
7. International Student Identity Card

approximately 200,000-300,000 ISE Cards are issued throughout the world. ISE Cards has negotiated thousands of
