International Student Resources
With the international market for college students growing at an exponential rate, these sites attempt to give "international" students tips on what it takes to apply to schools in a country other than their native land. SPECIAL NOTE: US citizens living overseas and who are applying to US colleges are generally not considered "international" students. Several of these sites, however, do include relevant information to US students studying at international high schools outside of the US.
- American Colleges and Universities
- This is a well thought out resource for students seeking an education in the US...excellent articles. Appropriate for "international" students as well as US students studying at international high schools.
