Time planning: Develop a detailed study abroad schedule, including when to prepare for language exams, when to apply to schools, when to apply for visas, etc. Taking the application for undergraduate programs in the United States as an example, it is generally recommended that students start preparing for standardized exams (such as SAT or ACT) 1-2 years in advance, submit their school application in the first semester of their senior year, and apply for visas in the spring of the following year.

Teaching staff: Excellent study abroad service agencies will hire experienced and qualified language teachers.

School application

Suggestion for school selection: Provide a detailed list of schools based on students' positioning and needs. Factors to consider include the school's overall ranking, major ranking, tuition fees, geographical location, campus culture, etc. For example, for students who enjoy bustling urban life, schools located in big cities such as New York and London would be recommended; For students who want to focus on academic research, they may recommend some small town schools with a strong academic atmosphere.

Writing guidance: This is a crucial step in school application. Study abroad service agencies will assist students in writing personal statements, recommendation letters, resumes, and other documents.

Preparation before departure

Accommodation arrangement: Help students choose suitable accommodation options, such as school dormitories, homestays, or off campus apartments. Provide an introduction to the advantages and disadvantages of different accommodation options, and recommend them based on students' budget and lifestyle habits. For example, for younger students who are studying abroad for the first time and hope to integrate into local family life, homestay is a good choice; For senior students with strong independence, off campus apartments may be more suitable.
