A post on the New York Time’s The Choice on India Ink blog provided the opportunity for Martin Bennett, the EducationUSA outreach coordinator at the Institute of International Education, to offer advice for international students who are hoping to study in the U.S. Bennett touched on a variety of topics, including EducationUSA’s Your Five Steps to U.S. Study and how it can help students make the right choice for them, the new EducationUSA Facebook app that gives students information on study opportunities in the U.S., and the important role that EducationUSA advisers can play in the process. According to Bennett, many students "outside the U.S. do not have college counselors. Hence, the role of our EducationUSA advisers is much like that of a college guidance counselor at a U.S. high school in terms of helping the individual student find the schools that are likely good fits for his or her needs."
