U.S. Embassy Opens U.S. University Fairs: America Is Still the Best Option for University Study

September 16, 2005

The U.S. Embassy is promoting America's outstanding colleges and universities for Lebanese students at two university recruitment fairs in Beirut. The U.S. Education Group (USEG) presents representatives from 19 American colleges and universities at the Movenpick Hotel (Raouche), Friday, September 16, 6:00 – 9:00 p.m.. The following day, Saturday, September 17, Linden Educational Services presents 18 different American college and university representatives at the Phoenicia Intercontinental Hotel in Minet el-Hosn, 1:00 to 6:00 p.m. Students and their families are welcome, free of charge, to learn more about studying in the United States and meet the American educational institution representatives. The events, co-sponsored by AMIDEAST, are open to the public.

The 37 institutions represented at Beirut's U.S. University Fairs reflect the diversity of educational options available in the United States, including big public universities and small private colleges. Some are located in large cities, others in small towns or rural areas. The institutions offer hundreds of diverse degree program options. All share a common goal of recruiting Lebanese students to their study on their campuses. University recruiters and U.S. Embassy representatives are available at the fairs to answer questions about their programs and services, as well as financial aid opportunities, the admissions process, and student visas.
