Why Study in the US

In the 20th and 21st centuries the US has become the magnet for hundreds of thousands of bright, ambitious students around the world. The US is the preferred destination for Indian students because US higher educational institutions offer: academic excellence, cutting edge technology, extensive support services for international students, generous funding opportunities, wide variety of educational options, flexible curricula and hands-on training (OPT and CPT).


In 2010, over 670,000 students from almost every country around the world studied at higher educational institutions in the US. Last year, nearly 105,000 students from India studied on American campuses.
