EDUCATION REPORT - December 19, 2002: Foreign Student Series #14 >Student Handbook1
By Nancy Steinbach
This is the VOA Special English Education Report.
We continue our series of reports about how foreign students can study at an American college or university. This
information also can be found on the Special English Web page at w-w-w-dot-VOA-Special-English-dot-com.
Today, we tell about a book that can provide much of the information needed by international students planning
to study in the United States. It is called “The College Board International Student Handbook Two-Thousand-
Three with Real Stuff2 CD-ROM.” It is published by the American College Entrance Examination3 Board.
College Board officials say the book can help all international students. The book has more than three-hundred
pages of information. It explains the American system of higher education. It tells how to apply for college in the
United States. It explains college costs, living costs and what kinds of financial aid foreign students can get. It
gives information about tests that a foreign student must take, and provides dates these tests are given.
One part of the book provides information about more than two-thousand-five-hundred American colleges. This
material is organized for undergraduate4 and graduate students. The College Board says this contains all the
detailed5 information an international student needs. The book also includes a new CD-ROM to be used with a
computer. The CD permits students to link with computer college search programs and financial aid search
programs. It also provides links to preparation programs for the S-A-T college entrance test.
The College Board publishes a new guide book each September, so the information is always correct. The book
and CD-ROM cost about twenty-seven dollars. You can buy them by searching the College Board Internet Web
site at www.collegeboard.com. Or you can write to the College Board, forty-five Columbus Avenue, New York,
New York one-zero-zero-two-three, U-S-A. You may also be able to find the book and the CD-ROM for less
money by searching the Web sites of companies that sell books on-line. These Web sites also list other
publications6 that claim to provide similar information for international students.
