-freshman Omani student’s Blackberry email to Rebecca upon arriving in the U.S. to attend university
Studying in the United States is the opportunity of a lifetime. It is not just the academic education, which is arguably among the best in the world. But the United States strives to be an inclusive society that welcomes students from around the world. In fact, American boarding schools and universities are actively looking for and recruiting qualified international students to come to their campuses. Why?
Why Study in the United States?
What do American boarding schools and universities have to offer international students? For one thing, a world class education in every realm of study imaginable. At the university level, it also allows freedom and flexibility to design your own major, earn a dual degree, or double major. Imagine majoring in art and chemistry – that is possible in an American university. In addition to learning academic subjects, American boarding school and university students are taught to think critically, analyze, write well, and speak to various audiences.
Values in American Education
Relationships are also a cornerstone of American education. The student’s experience on the campus is as important as what happens in the classroom. Interaction between students and professors leads to more investment and excitement in learning. Professors should take an interest in a student so that more doors are open to the student, whether it be in customized study, research opportunities, or recommendations for internships. American teachers, professors, and staff at all levels are known for caring deeply about their students.
Student Involvement
Students in American boarding schools and universities are also expected to do more than just go to class and take tests - they are expected to get involved. They are expected to invest in their own learning. They are expected to invest themselves in the student community. Students who study in the United States usually go back to their homelands changed forever in positive ways. They become leaders in their professional fields, their communities, and their countries.
Diversity
American boarding schools and universities are diverse themselves. They can be very large or very small, liberal or conservative, single sex or co-ed, and the list goes on. Some universities are public, while others are privately funded. Many offer international scholarships, but not all. There is a boarding school and university for every kind of learner, with different standards of admission.
Fit and Match
But with several hundred boarding schools, and over 4,000 universities to choose from, how does a student know where to begin the search? This is why so many students just apply to the few names they recognize even when it’s not the right school for them. Students should be looking for schools that are the right fit and match for their own individual learning styles and interests.
Note of Caution about Agents
One important note – there are agents working to recruit international students overseas. These agents are paid to find students for schools and universities, and are paid per student recruited. Students who don’t know this may not realize they are being recruited without much regard for fit and match according to their personality and abilities. When working with a reputable consultant, such as one who belongs to IECA, the priority will always be on the student and what’s right for them.
RNG International Educational Consultants combines both cultural sensitivity and professional expertise so that the international student will have a unique and rewarding American boarding school or university experience.
