Studying in the USA
U.S. Educational Advising centers belong to a network of educational advising centers affiliated with the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and strives to provide accurate, comprehensive, current, and unbiased information on educational opportunities in the United States.
We do not endorse or rank any college or university, nor do we endorse services provided by any company or organization in the areas of test preparation, admissions, placement, language training or visa procurement.
Team Australia, the EducationUSA Advising Centers in Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane, are the proud recipients of a 2003 Excellence Award for Overseas Educational Advising Centers. The purpose of this award is to recognize and reward the outstanding and innovative initiatives of overseas educational advising centers, and the important role that they play in the field of international educational exchange.
Where to get information on studying in the USA
People who live near an EducationUSA Advising Center are encouraged to visit those centers to undertake their own research about study opportunities in the United States. These centers are free to anyone who wants to use them and have up-to-date and comprehensive information.
Admission test information and Registration Bulletins are available from all Advising centers; a small postage and handling fee will be charged if you wish to have materials posted to you.
