<h2 class="fw-800 text-navy mb-4">Why Study in the USA?</h2>
<p>The United States hosts the largest number of international students in the world — over <strong>1.1 million</strong> — and for good reason. American universities dominate global rankings, with <strong>27 of the top 50 universities</strong> in the QS World Rankings being American institutions. The US education system is known for its flexibility, allowing students to explore multiple subjects before declaring a major, fostering a well-rounded educational experience.</p>

<p>The US offers unmatched research opportunities, state-of-the-art facilities, and connections with leading global industries. From Silicon Valley for tech enthusiasts to Wall Street for finance aspirants, the proximity of top companies to American campuses creates exceptional internship and employment opportunities. The <strong>Optional Practical Training (OPT)</strong> program allows graduates to work in the US for 12 months after completing their degree, with an additional <strong>24-month STEM extension</strong> for STEM field graduates — totaling up to <strong>3 years of post-study work</strong>.</p>

<p>American universities also offer generous financial aid packages, making education accessible to talented students regardless of their financial background. Campus culture in the US is vibrant, with student organizations, sports, cultural events, and networking opportunities that enhance the overall experience. Cities like New York, Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Chicago offer incredible diversity and career prospects.</p>
