WHY CHOOSE TO STUDY IN THE UNITED STATES?
Monday - 08/12/2025
According to the latest data, the United States currently has the highest number of international students in the world: over 765,000. So, why do students choose to study in the US?
- High-quality education: Every year, The Times Education Supplement ranks universities around the world, and based on this data, the US consistently has many universities listed among the TOP institutions globally. American degrees are not only widely recognized but also highly valued worldwide.
- Over 4,900 colleges, universities, and training institutes in the US offer undergraduate and postgraduate programs in more than 900 specialized fields. The strong connection between teaching and research at these institutions further enhances the prestige and quality of American education. At US universities, students are taught and mentored directly by professors who are Nobel Laureates, Pulitzer Prize winners, and other distinguished academics. The success of American higher education is built on a foundation of advanced teaching facilities and technology, outstanding faculty, deeply specialized programs, and a strong emphasis on personal development.
- Many study options: The diverse academic opportunities in the US ensure that every student has access to learning and personal growth. Depending on their desired field of study, students have a huge number of schools to choose from: economics, politics, science, technology, social sciences; public or private schools; boarding or day schools; community colleges or universities; research institutes, technical institutes; full-time or part-time study; immediate enrollment or deferred admission; theory-based programs, programs combining theory and practice, or one year of practical training before returning to school… countless options for students.
- Learning goes hand in hand with practice and personal development: Although US universities emphasize academic requirements, within the American campus environment, student success is a combination of academics and activities outside exams and classroom hours. Students in the US have many opportunities to gain practical experience and develop leadership, social, athletic, recreational, cultural, community, and other personal skills.
- Flexibility in education: Flexibility is reflected in the fact that most institutions recognize each other’s academic programs, allowing students to change majors, transfer schools, take breaks and resume their studies, or combine programs easily. Credits already completed are recognized. Students therefore have many opportunities to learn, explore, and succeed.
- Reasonable study-abroad costs: Compared to other countries, studying in the US is relatively affordable. You can easily find universities with tuition fees starting from only 8,000 USD per year, and living expenses from just 5,000 USD per year. Not to mention, you can absolutely earn scholarships if you have strong academic performance from Vietnam.
- Many scholarships: The US attracts international students with its wide range of scholarships and financial aid options – even for international students.
