What better way to learn more about U.S. universities than by visiting the campus and meeting with their representatives. We offer an 'educational tourism' experience for potential students and their parents either in a group or an individual family. You will spend a week in New York City and visit several different universities in the area. Depending on whether you are visiting as a group or individual family, you will receive the support and dedicated service to help you learn more about higher eduation in the United States, the application process and how to prepare for study in the United States. As part of the campus visit, you will be briefed on what to expect, what to look for, questions to ask and specific information on each university. There will also be free time for sightseeing, shopping etc. where you will be escorted by staff.
