Why United States.
The United States offers more top-ranked universities than anywhere on earth, unmatched research funding, and a flexible system where you choose your major after you arrive. STEM graduates get up to three years of work authorisation through OPT — making the US both an academic and a career launchpad.

When you can
begin.
The main intake — every programme, every scholarship. Top universities close December–January.
A smaller second intake; fewer programmes and assistantships available.
What it really
costs.
Sticker prices are high, but aid changes the picture — especially for strong applicants. Use this as a planning guide.
* PhDs are frequently fully funded; assistantships and scholarships cut master's costs substantially.
Cost of living
Coastal cities are expensive, but the Midwest and South run far lower — Austin, Atlanta, and Chicago stretch a budget much further. Health insurance ($1,500–$2,500/year) is mandatory and arranged before you arrive.

CPT & OPT
Use CPT for internships during study and OPT (12–36 months) for work after graduation.
Sticker tuition is $25,000–$60,000/year, but assistantships, scholarships, and aid often cut it sharply — especially at PhD and master's level. We target the universities most generous to internationals.
US campuses run their own security, housing, and 24/7 support; choosing the right city matters and we advise on it. Health insurance is mandatory and arranged before arrival.
On-campus work is allowed during study; CPT enables internships in your field; OPT gives 12–36 months of post-study work authorisation.
STEM OPT's three years plus the H-1B route make the US a strong career destination, particularly in tech, engineering, finance, and research.
Most universities require TOEFL/IELTS and often the GRE/GMAT (graduate) or SAT (undergraduate). We build a test-prep timeline into the plan.
