US university tour returns to KL
The AeO university tour will be returning to Kuala Lumpur tomorrow. The event will be held at Level 6, Clarke Ballroom at Le Meridien hotel, KL Sentral from 6pm to 9.30pm.
For over 30 years, AeO has brought America’s top universities to Malaysia. These exhibitions provide the exclusive opportunity to meet with the directors of admissions from numerous universities and colleges throughout the United States. There is something for everyone – state universities, Catholic universities, Christian universities, private universities, liberal arts colleges and two-year colleges. The variety ranges from large universities and colleges with upwards of 40,000 students to smaller universities with only 1,000 students.
Many universities accept directly after the SPM. Most universities give advanced placement for STPM, A-Levels, IB or ADP programmes.
The United States combines high-quality education with low cost. The cost of an American education is only a fraction of what other countries charge. Study business, engineering or over 500 other majors in the US – the world’s No.1 economy.
With thousands of American companies in Asia, an American degree would certainly hold more value than any other degree. Currently in Malaysia, over 200,000 Malaysians are directly employed by American companies.
There are now over one million international students studying in the United States.
Why do so many students choose to study in the US? Many factors contribute to this but the three most important are:
• Low cost – some universities are now offering in-state tuition to international students. Most universities will offer scholarships.
• High quality: US universities and colleges have an international reputation for quality. State-of-theart facilities and faculty sourced from throughout the world and endowments of millions or even billions of dollars.
• The diversity of the 4,000 higher education institutions.
The AeO university exhibition is an opportunity for students to research, select and apply to colleges or universities that meet their educational and personal requirements. This exhibition allows students and parents to speak with the directors of admissions and learn what is required for admission and scholarships.
The AeO exhibition is the perfect venue to find the institution that is the right choice for you. Match your budget, major, type of institution, location and find the college or university that is your perfect match.
