CollegeWeekLive Unites with U.S. Department of State’s EducationUSA for International Students Day
Needham, MA (PRWEB) October 22, 2013 -- For aspiring students worldwide, a college education is a stepping stone to a better life, and many look to the United States as the destination of choice to pursue a college education. However, understanding how to apply to college in the United States can be challenging – particularly when you live thousands of miles and several time zones away. EducationUSA, a U.S. Department of State-supported network of hundreds of advising centers around the world, and CollegeWeekLive, the world’s leading website for online college fairs and admissions events, have joined forces to offer a convenient and cost-free way for international students to learn about higher education opportunities in the United States.
On Wednesday, November 13th, students can log in to CollegeWeekLive International Students Day from 5:00 AM to 7:00 PM EST to chat live with representatives from 97 U.S. colleges and universities, learn about current college students' experiences, and get advice from international education experts. This event is part of International Education Week, an annual celebration of the benefits of international education and programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences in the United States.
Any international student with access to an Internet connection will be able to participate in the no-cost event. Students can register at no cost at CollegeWeekLive.
