Bandar Seri Begawan - Latest figures have shown that there are over 600,000 international students studying in the various educational institutions in the United States.

This was highlighted by Ms Karen Kaylor, Director of the United States Education Information Centre based in Singapore, during a briefing on universities and colleges in US held at the Sheraton Utama Hotel.

On the advantages of studying in US, she said a US bachelors degree has undeniable benefits including international recognition, exposure to latest technology, information and equipment, distinguished faculty, top research and development facilities and education beyond the classroom.

"We have small, medium and big schools, with some university student population as small as 500 while larger universities have over 20,000 students," said Ms Kaylor.

There are over 3,600 undergraduate institutions in US and over 1,700 graduate programmes that can cater for every needs and requirements of potential students.

One unique quality about US schools highlighted that truly sets them apart from the British, European or Australian system, is that of its flexibility.

Students can enter university without having a committed major field of study, and they have up to two years to make a final decision.

For those who are interested to study in US, the US Embassy has an advising centre and an adviser, Ms Shova Thapa, who can assist students in education inquiries. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
