The International Student Blog

The United States has approximately 3,000 institutions that accept international students. As foreign students who want to come study in the US, you may find it overwhelming when trying to search for colleges in the USA. InternationalStudent.com has created a school search tool to make this process as simple as possible. This tool allows international students to look up any college and university in the US, see where the school is located, how many international students are studying in that school, the tuition cost and more. You can even request for the school to contact you directly!

You can reach our USA school search tool here (http://www.internationalstudent.com/school-search/usa/)

Once you are on this page, you can see a map of the United States. You can click on any part of the map to see a listing of all the college and universities in that state you clicked on. If you already which university you are interested in learning more about you can even type in the name of that school directly on the top right.

If you’re like me and your USA geography is not perfect. Suppose you have heard that New York is a great place, but you don’t know exactly where it is on the map. At the bottom of the page you can just click on the name of the state as well!
