FAQ

This is where the guaranteed scholarships come in! The grand total of an American university may seem frightening at first, but when you partner with Go Campus, we guarantee an annual scholarship, which covers up to 60% of your tuition.

• After scholarships, our programmes begin at around 14,000 USD (tuition, room and board).
• The average annual cost with scholarships at our partner universities is around 18,000 USD/ 20,000 USD.

• One-time Go Campus enrolment fee (3,070 USD)
• Health insurance
• Textbooks : Go Campus Recommendation: try before you buy! Don’t buy all the books on the reading list before arriving to save money and space in your suitcase. Once on campus, you can see which books you really need before buying them second-hand
• Sports team membership/extra-curricular activities
• Flights and travel expenses
• On-campus housing during Christmas/summer breaks
• Personal expenses, etc.

Go Campus estimates that personal expenses could reach up to roughly 1 000 USD/school year.

No. The enrolment and application fees (3 070 EUR) are a one-time fee, regardless of the duration of your studies.

Our partner schools have dedicated scholarship funds for international students like yourself.

These scholarships are not means-based, so are not linked to parental income like student loans often are, and are available to you because you are an international student.

American universities want international students on their campuses in order to promote cultural diversity and to make their campus more attractive to American students. Our partner schools appreciate learning more about different education systems and learning more about you.

The United States has a long tradition of scholarships so all schools will have additional funds set aside for future prospects.

The scholarship is automatically deducted from the invoice provided by the university each semester, whether you stay for one year or four years.

However, the university can remove your scholarship if you do not maintain the GPA required or you do not turn up to class.

Go Campus and their representative, PIE, have years of experience in the field of international student mobility. We also provide a service that facilitates the whole process from A-Z, as well as provide you with guaranteed financial aid without you having to get involved in tricky negotiations with each university that you’re interested in.

Go Campus does not currently work with Ivy League schools. Mostly due to not having access to more interesting student scholarship options. However, that does not mean we are offering bad universities.

Whilst university rankings are not part of our criteria for choosing a school (we focus more on reputation, cost, and quality of teaching), you are able to check school rankings once you receive your Scholarship Report if you so wish. Our main criteria is whether the schools we provide you are good value-for-money in terms of the quality of education you will receive at the more affordable price.

If you choose to stay for the full duration of your Bachelor’s degree or further, an American diploma will still be highly considered by most international companies when you apply for graduate roles regardless of whether it comes from an Ivy League school or not.

All students receive a list with 12 partner universities when they apply to give you an idea of the schools we offer. From this list, you can make a pre-choice. You can also find a copy of this list here.

You may apply for this programme with an idea in mind for what you want, or you may be going in blind hoping to find something that interests you along the way. In any case, the reasons for choosing a university are personal to each individual and we recommend you use the same criteria that you would have used if you were choosing a British university. Many students will specify important information that they would like us to consider when providing them with schools. These could include:

• Geographic location
• Financial cost
• Prestige
• Proposed fields of study
• Size of the institution
• Social factors

Go Campus will ask you to make note of the factors that are the most important to you in order to provide you with a Scholarship Report that most fits with your requirements.

Go Campus handles pre-departure only. Once you have arrived in the United States, students are required to demonstrate independence and autonomy. Should concerns arise, students must contact their individual universities, not Go Campus.

• We handle your application individually and work with you to find the best fit, in terms of budget, location and degree (amongst other criteria).
• We take your application and present it to multiple universities in our network, thus saving you time in preparing several applications at once.
• We provide you with a list of universities that correspond as much as possible to your requirements and help you with your final decision.
• We provide you with a scholarship, which covers up to 60% of your overall tuition.
• We walk you through the administrative and admission processes, including the visa application, insurance, transportation, etc., as well as organise a pre-departure meeting to prepare you for this experience

Go Campus universities offer hundreds of degree programmes: business, economics, statistics, biology, nursing, journalism, international relations, art, theatre, dance, political science, etc.

We discourage studying law, engineering and medicine because if you plan to return to your home country upon completion of your studies, you may need to have certain equivalences or to pass certain tests, in order to secure a job and practice. For example, studying law in the USA will mostly be linked to American law rather than British or European law which could be complicated if you wish to practice law in Europe once you have graduated.

You will take classes relating to your major as well as general education courses, which provide a basic foundation of knowledge. These classes are compulsory, and you will receive a list of options upon enrolment.

Yes. All Go Campus universities offer a variety of extracurricular activities.

American universities pride themselves on having a wide array of clubs to choose from: intramural sports teams, art club, film club, Greek fraternities and sororities, anime club, chess club etc.

You will have the opportunity to either continue an activity you started in your home coutry or to try something new.

Go Campus recommends getting involved in extracurricular activities to facilitate your integration. If you can’t find the club or activity for you, you can always see about starting your own!

Go Campus works directly with you to see what is possible in regards to your application (grades, budget, localisation etc.).

While it is rare to receive a refusal, we can never guarantee acceptance into a school as the final decision is always down to the university itself, that being said we will offer you schools that are very likely to accept your applications.

In the case of a refusal from a school, we will explain to you the reason and then help you re-apply to your second-choice school.

Go Campus works with schools that fit our specific criteria : good reputation, positive student experiences, cost and of course, quality of teaching

Our main criteria is whether the schools we offer are good value-for-money in terms of the quality of education you will receive at the more affordable price.
