Studying in the USA

Educational Advisors Assist South African Students to Study in the USA

The doors of U.S. educational institutions are open to all qualified students from around the world. The United States is proud of an educational system that attracts students and scholars from across the globe.
 
In the words of President Bush, "We encourage international students to take part in our educational system. The relationships that are formed between individuals from different countries, as part of international education programs and exchanges ... foster goodwill that develops into vibrant, mutually beneficial partnerships among nations."

Education Advisors in Cape Town and Durban provide guidance for study in the United States of America. They offer accurate, unbiased information about all accredited U.S. higher Education institutions through orientation sessions and individual counseling, and maintain collections of useful publications for use by advisees.

2. Students may continue to visit the Educational Advising Center to conduct research on their US College applications.  All students must bring photo identification with them to enter the building.  There is no public parking at the new consulate, though patrons may park at Sandton City Mall.
