US University Fair attracted a large number of students hoping to fulfil their foreign education dreams
Pragya Gupta, a Class X student from Sardar Patel Vidyalaya was quite enthusiastically involved in collecting information about her dream college at the recently held US University Fair. Gupta was among the hundreds and probably the youngest, of the students that flocked to the fair organised by The United States Educational Foundation in India (USEFI), in collaboration with the Institute of International Education (HE), Hong Kong. The event saw representatives from 17 US universities offering detailed information about their institutions and programmes. Parallel information sessions on higher education in the United States and student visas were also organised during the event.
Though on-the-spot admissions were not offered, this did not deter students who were seen thronging to the various university information desks, parents in tow. University representatives were quite pleased with the homework students had done about their study options in the US. I am planning to opt for the Commerce stream and venture into the world of business after completing my studies. I think that the United States provides a vast number of opportunities and the best possible environment to students studying there. The large number of Indians in the US will make life a little easy for me. I think that this fair has been very well organised and extremely informative, added Gupta.
Participating universities represented a wide geographical area in the US and included names like Alliant International University, New York University, Savannah College of Arts and Design, San Francisco State University and the University of Northern Iowa amongst others.
