Why USA
Why do students from around the world
choose to study here? Studying in the United States allows students to
experience the diverse American culture.
Studying abroad in the USA will offer a competitive
edge once you enter the job market. Interacting with a diverse range of people
while studying in the USA will enhance your ability to interact with people
from other cultures and analyse issues with a global perspective.
Employees who speak multiple languages, have
international experiences and are able to quickly adapt to new professional
environments are in high demand. Companies will see you as a candidate with an
international mindset and a problem solver.
It’s hardly a secret that top universities in the
U.S. continue to maintain a strong presence among the best ranked education
institutions in the world. Partially this has to do with how well-funded and
supported American universities are, but it also has to do with the high
academic standards and rigorous requirements that they instil in their
students.
At universities like MIT, Harvard students can join
or initiate research projects for academic credit pay, and their work is often
published, leads to patent applications, or contributes to ambitious start-up
companies. Other universities, like UCLA, have over 350 research labs, while at
Yale University, you can get involved in fields like neuroscience, black hole
studies, and climate change research. Even undergraduates have the opportunity
to attend Bachelors that involve research.
Universities
in the United States offer internship programs as a way to kickstart your
professional career. Many students obtain internships during their college
years to take advantage of hands-on experience and get access to better-paying
jobs after graduation. Whether you want to return to your home country after
graduation or remain in the United States to work full time, your U.S.
education will undoubtedly be the starting point for a successful career.
Moreover, there is some effort to allow
international students the ability to stay in the U.S. after they graduate, so
that they can attempt to pursue a wonderful career at some of the world’s
biggest companies. In 2016, a massive effort was taken to allow graduates from
STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) to stay for 24
months to get work experience and extend their stay.
With this opportunity, you have the chance to look
for work in fields that are always seeking ambitious and hard-working students;
and with this extension, you can stay in the U.S. to find your footing at some
of the biggest companies.
