U.S. is home to most of the best universities in the world and still remains to be the leading destination for international students to pursue their higher education.

The institutions of higher education such as colleges or universities in America function independently. They run their own curriculum, programs, create their own fee structure and admission criteria. Each institution provides a variety of courses and extra-curricular activities for its students.

A common difficulty applicants face is choosing an institution. Applicants should base their decision on the accreditation of the institution. Non-governmental institutions are usually well accredited. These ratings are based on their staff, facilities such as libraries or laboratories, the standard of instruction and student to teacher ratios.
