The International Student Blog

Now that new InternationalStudent.com website has been live for about 2 weeks, I wanted to take this opportunity to let you provide your feedback and comments about the site and how you are liking, or disliking the new format.

To collect your views we have created a very quickly online survey that will take no more than a few minutes which will allow you to put your thoughts and comments about the site and how we can improve it. You can take this survey online at:

I hope you will have the time to help us!!

At long last we have flicked the switched and turned on the brand new InternationalStudent.com website!!

It took a while, but we really wanted to make sure everything was working 100% and all the new sections were completed in time. Some of you may have already had a chance to view the website and if you are at this blog you will see the new layout right here. We have also created a great in introduction page which will help explain some of the new features and help you navigate your way around the site.

For the most part, the new site has really been designed to better organize things into the 5 main categories that run across the top, with our Home, Study Centers, Products and Services, Resources and Blogs and Forums.

We have also added some new section, and upgraded all of our content – some of these highlights include:
- Updated Study Centers for Studying in the USA, Studying in the UK, Studying in Australia and Study Abroad
- New International Financial Aid advice center
- New International Communications center
- Updated Immigration and Student Visa center
- and so much more….

The whole team really hopes you enjoy the new site and, as always, let us know if you have any comments.
