Books about American Colleges

International Students

<p>Can someone recommend me some books about American colleges? Specifically, I mean books that tell you about applying as either an international freshman or transfer. I’m from Canada and the university admission process here is quite different than in the US.</p>

<p>you dont need any books really. just look up this forum for a start, im pretty sure you will find any information you need. if not, feel free to ask right here.</p>

<p>im an international student and i can tell you that those books are useless in the end. it doesnt help much.
search on this forum, us news, princeton review, and from the univs’ webs.</p>

<p>Many people tend to recommend to read through [International</a> Students – EducationUSA](<a href=“http://www.educationusa.state.gov/]International”>http://www.educationusa.state.gov/)
You can find information about studying in the USA, and each country is supposed to have its regional advising center. I tried to look up Canadian regional center but didn’t have much luck :confused:
[About</a> Undergraduate Education in the U.S. – Undergraduate Study – EducationUSA](<a href=“http://www.educationusa.state.gov/undergrad/about.htm]About”>http://www.educationusa.state.gov/undergrad/about.htm) tells you about undergraduate education, go to “Admissions” and you’ll get all the necessary info on applying.</p>

<p>That, and as people have already said, stay on this forum, here’s plethora of info, too :)</p>

<p>I actually liked reading Princetonreview’s best 365 colleges.</p>

<p>If you really want to read these books(Princeton review,kaplan, guide to US colleges)then you don’t have to buy them! I had access to these books at the education center of the US Embassy in my country. I lived about 10 minutes from it so I went there as many times I could.However the best source of information is internet.</p>

<p>Books? Heck, you don’t need them. You’re browsing the best resource available to prospective applicants.</p>
