Features: Our company published the "Guide to Studying in the U.S." edited by the U.S. Information Agency in 1986, which was well-received by readers. Nine years have passed since then, and the situation has changed significantly. At the request of readers, the U.S. Information Agency has comprehensively revised the original book. The revised edition is twice as long as the original and contains more content that is more practical. To meet the needs of Chinese readers, our company has translated and published the revised edition of "Guide to Studying in the U.S." under the new name "New Edition of Guide to Studying in the U.S." Part of it is a general introduction, the second part is for scholars and professionals, and there are several appendices at the end for reference. This book aims to provide you with practical help. It explains everything in the order you encounter them. Chapter 1 is about preparations before departure. The next chapters introduce knowledge about passports and visas, precautions during the journey to the U.S., procedures to be completed upon entry, and matters to note upon arriving at U.S. universities and during enrollment. The other chapters explore housing issues, practical knowledge for daily life in the U.S., problems you may encounter on campus, and how to adapt to the new environment. As for admission requirements and fields of study, U.S. universities and colleges are diverse and each has its own strengths. The university or college you choose will certainly provide you with various brochures and materials. You may receive them before arriving in the U.S., but it is more likely that they will be delivered to you after you enter the school. Your main purpose of staying in the U.S. is to study. Living in a different cultural environment is also part of the learning process. We sincerely hope that this experience will provide you with valuable insights, and we also hope that you can introduce your culture, way of thinking, and values to your classmates, teachers, and other people you meet in the U.S. We sincerely wish you success in your studies and hope you can appreciate everything you experience during your time in the U.S.
