If you are planning to study abroad in USA for undergraduate or graduate degrees, you’ll either want to consult a study abroad agency or an international education consultant, or you start researching online.

If you decide to meet an international education agent, you’ll have to select from several organizations that offer study abroad service. The downside is that, most of these organizations are likely offer biased information to get you to enroll in one of the schools they are affiliated to.
