Why do so many students choose to study in the United States?
the United States is one of the destinations Vietnamese families ask about most, thanks to its international learning environment, wide choice of majors and opportunities for personal growth. Every university has its own programs, tuition and entry requirements, so choosing the right school and the right major matters more than choosing a "famous name".
A basic preparation roadmap
- Define your major, career goals and budget.
- Prepare English-language certificates and academic transcripts.
