U.S. universities are notoriously expensive. However, as previously mentioned, according to the most recent Open Doors report http://www.iie.org/en/Research-and-Publications/Open-Doors published by the Institute of International Education/IIE, the number of international students in the U.S. increased to a record high of over 765,000 students and has seen a 31% increase in the last decade. In addition, last year international students in the United States received over $8 billion in financial assistance from the U.S. institutions hosting them.
As you may remember, approximately 1,600 Romanians are currently studying in the U.S. and over 500 of them are undergraduates with access to partial or total funding from their universities.
While not all 4,900+ universities in the U.S. can provide financial aid for their international applicants, a significant number of them can: see chapter XI of this publication for details and tips on finding schools that offer funding to international students and make sure you also visit the Financial aid section for further tips.
"The generous financial aid package that I was awarded made me realize that the college was willing to fully support admitted students so they could attend Wellesley. The cost of a year at Wellesley is of about $51,000, out of which I received $49,000 in grants and a small loan, with the option of being hired on campus to earn the rest. In order to continue receiving financial aid, I reapplied every year and, as long as I demonstrated financial need and kept my GPA above a C+, I received funding for the following year."
Adina Badea, Wellesley College, MA, alumna
"I applied in the first Early Decision round and was accepted with a financial aid package which covered my tuition, room and board almost completely. After receiving my admission offer, I was also invited to apply to the Interdisciplinary Science Program (ISP), a special first-year course designed to expose students with a strong interest in science to research immediately after starting their academic career. "

Vibrant Campus Life
Whether you are passionate about music, basketball, chess, math, astronomy or Greek literature, U.S. universities will have a society, club, or association for you to share your enthusiasm for areas outside your field of study. You will be encouraged to further your interests outside class and participate in a bewildering variety of activities. Leadership skills and community spirit are highly valued, as the U.S. education places emphasis on the overall development of the individual through a good mix of academics and extracurriculars.

"Outside of athletics there are over 250 student organizations on campus, representing fraternities and sororities, sport clubs, academic groups, theatre, music, and pretty much anything you can imagine!"
Claire Lloyd Jones, Assistant Director, International Admission, St John’s University, New York City
If you cannot find a society that suits your interests, then get involved - help found one. Be innovative and persuasive – U.S. universities promote meritocracy, so if your idea is appealing to the school and the other students, there are high chances your university provides you with funding for your brand new idea!
"As far as extracurriculars go, I participated in the Italian Club and the Society of Physics Students, which helped me meet new people through interesting activities. For example, along with two fellow Society of Physics Students members, I took part in the University Physics Competition, a weekend-long contest during which teams modeled a real-life situation and wrote a paper detailing the analysis of the problem and their solution to it. "
Stefan Timiras, Trinity College, CT, class of 2015
Academic Calendar
The school year is slightly different at each university, but normally runs from late August/early September to late May. Some schools divide the year into two terms of 18 weeks (semesters), others in quarters or trimesters. In addition, universities very often provide six to eight-week summer terms.
Read more...
There are at least two main holidays during the academic year: a two to four week break over Christmas and a one week spring break around Easter, between early March and mid-April.
Grades and GPA explained
U.S. universities employ a system of continual assessment and assign grades for each course taken. Tests, essays, or other written assignments, laboratory work and class participation are all used to determine the final grade.
Read more...
The students' academic performance is reflected in their grade point average (GPA), Romanian equivalent media generală.
The grading system
Students are graded on the coursework they complete, and most colleges and universities use letter grades as follows:
- 100-90 =A=4 (excellent)
- 89-80% =B=3 (good)
- 79-70% =C=2 (average)
- 69-60% =D=1 (below average)
- 59-50%=F (failing)
An undergraduate student must usually maintain a C or 2.00 average in general and a B or 3.00 average in his or her major field in order to receive a degree.
In the U.S., a student’s academic standing is often measured by their grade point average (GPA). The GPA is computed by dividing the total number of grade points by the total number of credit hours. A cumulative grade point average is the GPA for all courses taken throughout the degree program. Most colleges and universities use a GPA scale of 1.0 to 4.0.
For example, a student takes four 3-unit courses with the following results:
• Business 101: A;
• Introduction to Business Law: B;
• Mass Media and Marketing: A; and
• Computer Science Techniques Applied to Business: B.
The average is determined as follows:

It is for your reference only; you do not need to make the conversion of your grades from the Romanian system into the American one when you submit your official transcripts to U.S. schools!
The credit system
American degrees are earned on the basis of the number of courses a student takes. Each course earns students “credits” or “units”, which are commonly known as credit hours. The number of credits earned by each course usually reflects the number of hours of classroom work involved.
Read more...
So how much time will you be allocating to studying, on top of the time spent in class? A good rule of thumb is that for each credit unit you should budget 2-3 study hours every week, on top of the classes. Based on this rule, a student taking 15 credit hours should expect to spend 30 to 45 hours each week studying outside of class – individually or in groups, doing research, going through the reading material, preparing presentations. Overall, this works out to a total of 45 to 60 hours spent on academic work. Studying is a full-time job, with the perk that you get to choose most of your “working hours” and most of the learning content will be relevant to your needs and interests since you’ll have picked most of the courses.
The U.S. educational palette is incredibly diverse: you will definitely find a university that you want to call “home” and study programs you love. The U.S. educational system offers:
• Programs at over 4,900 accredited colleges, universities, and institutes;
• More than 2000 fields of study;
• Public and private universities;
• Small liberal arts colleges, big research universities, and everything in between;
• Co-ed and women’s or men’s only colleges;
• Academic and vocational training, and many more options.
In addition, a variety of settings (for example suburban or rural areas, etc.), coupled with a myriad of climates, further diversify your choice – describe your dream university in details, and most likely the USA has it!
Educational institutions
You may have noticed that U.S. higher education institutions come under various names: colleges, universities, institutes (e.g. Middlebury College, Princeton University, or Massachusetts Institute of Technology). "School" is also used in informal communication, like in "at my school in Florida we have many students from Romania".
So what are the differences between the three?
Read more...
Universities are larger and have a more comprehensive offer: undergraduate and graduate programs (Master's and Doctorate).
Institutes commonly provide in-depth undergraduate to post-doctoral training in a group of closely related subject areas, like technology, arts etc. (e.g. MIT includes a School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, a School of Architecture and Planning, a School of Sciences, and the Sloan School of Management).
Romanian students generally choose to enroll at 4-year colleges or universities to get their Bachelor's degree. An alternative to this path, more U.S. student-friendly though, is to start your undergraduate education in a 2-year college and get an Associate degree, then transfer to a 4-year institution to complete your degree.
Most U.S. schools enroll both men and women, but there are also single-sex colleges. The College Board lists around 50 women's colleges and over 60 men's colleges.
Some institutions are public (around 40%) and some private (around 60%). Public universities sometimes include the words "state university" in their title. They tend to have a big student population and generally accept more students than private universities. The largest universities in the U.S. are all public, for instance Michigan State University, Ohio State University, University of Texas.
Liberal arts philosophy
The seven liberal arts of the medieval university curriculum were Grammar, Logic, Rhetoric, Arithmetic, Geometry, Music, and Astronomy. What does this have to do with modern liberal arts education at U.S. universities?
The liberal arts philosophy is a unique feature of the U.S. higher education system and one of its greatest strengths.
Read more...
Some of the advantages of pursuing a liberal arts education include:
- It fosters a spirit of free inquiry: you are encouraged to reflect upon the world around you, examine and analyze it;
- It emphasizes the importance of effective communication, strength of character, flexibility and creativity of thought;
- A liberal arts education provides you with the tools to identify, understand and rigorously evaluate arguments from a wide array of topics;
- You are encouraged to follow your passions and interests, not what others assume that will lead to marketable skills;
- It develops mental habits that help you develop your own opinions and beliefs, based not on the authority of others, but on your own sound judgment;
- It deepens the specialized knowledge of a discipline with a comprehensive world view.
No institution can teach you in four years everything you will need to know in life. But by teaching you how to learn and how to organize ideas, the liberal arts institution will enable you to learn faster, more thoroughly, and permanently.
"In order to ensure a broad liberal arts education, Trinity requires students to take at least one course in five areas – Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences, and Numerical and Symbolic Reasoning."
Ştefan Timiraş, student at Trinity College, CT, class of 2015
Personalized curriculum
The personalized curriculum distinguishes the U.S. system from others in the world. Instead of focusing on a particular subject for the whole duration of your university studies, you are encouraged to choose from a variety of courses in your field of interest. This helps you become a well-rounded person, more sensitive and perceptive regarding the world around you.
Read more...
The curriculum generally consists of four types of courses:
- Core courses: general courses, also called foundation courses, which must be taken by all students, usually during the first two years. These account for one third of the degree and they include subjects such as English, a foreign language, natural science, social science, and math; However, not all colleges have core courses (e.g. Amherst College, MA, Brown University, RI, Hamilton College, NY);
- Major courses in the field on which you choose to concentrate. While some students major in one subject, we have seen students who chose to pursue a double or even triple major in related fields or completely different ones. Students declare their major in the first two years of study, so they have ample time to make their decision. Major courses usually amount for a quarter or more of the total degree requirements;
- Minor courses in a subject or subjects in which a student chooses to take the second greatest concentration of courses. Minor courses tend to be half the number of major courses;
- Elective courses, which the student chooses from any field they are interested in, to ensure a well-rounded college experience.
Each student is assigned an academic adviser – a professor, librarian, etc. - who helps the student navigate the university’s offer of academic courses and plan for a balanced personal curriculum.
Suppose you are an Olympic in Physics and decide to pursue this subject at university too. Do you think you will just be automatically enrolled on a Physics course for first year students, no questions asked? No. You will be matched with a course that matches your preparation and needs so that you feel neither bored nor overwhelmed by coursework, and allows you to explore different fields before specialising.
Research opportunities
U.S. academic culture is characterized by meritocracy. This means credit is given fairly and enthusiastically whenever it is due, be it that a student shows special aptitudes or interest for a subject or they come up with a great proposal for a new club or activity on campus.
In the U.S., universities are at the forefront of research, so you will constantly be in contact with professors who not only pass on knowledge from their field of study, but are actively contributing to exploring uncharted academic territory, an exciting (and usually remunerated) activity that you could be a part of.

"Complementing academics, University of Richmond has one of the biggest undergraduate summer research programs in the country. Last summer, the university funded 217 students, with many others being funded by professors’ external grants. You can do research in any discipline, from sciences to history, art, or foreign languages. Most research takes place on campus, but sometimes your projects make you travel. Some of our friends spent their summer studying climate change effects on plants in an Oregon forest, scuba diving in Florida Keys to study tropical reef sponges, studying indigenous populations in Central America, or doing archaeological excavations in Greece. "
Ana Neferu, class of 2013, Catalina Cumpanasoiu and Alexandra Badiceanu, class of 2015, University of Richmond, VA
There’s more to Penn than schoolwork and friends. Many people do their own research; sometimes even multiple research projects! The university normally pays for the expenses of undergraduate students who participate in conferences. In addition, many students who do research receive funding for their projects through the university and get published in top journals while working with some of the best professors in their field. The university encourages research and scholarship, along with academic achievement. If you are interested in other areas than research, there are over 200 clubs to join and even be a president of. If the club you’re looking for does not exist, you can start your own!
Laura Micu, University of Pennsylvania alumna
Law, Medicine, Dentistry, Business
In Romania, if you want to be a lawyer, dentist, or doctor you enroll in law, dentistry, or medicine Bachelor’s courses and go on 4 or 6-year undergraduate programs. Not so in the USA.
Read more...
For example: Business 
You first get a BA in Economics, Physics, Literature etc. (4 years of study) and then you go on an MBA = Master of Business Administration (1-2 years of study). Consequently, you will get an MBA after around 4-5 years of study.

See what fellow Romanian students have to say about their experience in the U.S.:
"The small class size helped me better focus on the material presented during courses, because the professors paid more attention to our individual needs. (…) As hands-on experience is vital to understanding concepts in today’s world, the laboratory sections helped me develop a certain lab conduit, vital for future research endeavors."
Ştefan Timiraş, Trinity College, CT, class of 2015
The learning environment, while rigorous, is more one of cooperation than of cut-throat competition. Students are encouraged to consult a variety of helpful resource centers.
I have always wanted to spend the best years of my life on a campus where I would be allowed to grow fully as a person, rather than merely as a student. A small liberal arts college such as Hamilton provided the right amount of personal contact with other students and faculty, as well as the right amount of resources to benefit from internships or pursue research in my desired field.
Mihai Dohotaru, Hamilton College, NY, class of 2013
Are you thinking about studying in the U.S.? You are in good company. As the top destination for international students, the U.S. prides itself on offering the most competitive university system worldwide.
U.S. higher education institutions are now home to more than 765,000 international students, out of which over 1,600 Romanians: almost 500 working towards their Bachelor’s degree, over 800 on a Master or PhD program, and others doing research or professional training.
Like many other international students considering the U.S. educational system, you might feel daunted by tuition fees and living costs. You should know that U.S. universities have generous funding opportunities. Just last year, international students received more than $8 billion from their U.S. universities. Also, Romanians relying on FEAC support during their admissions process attracted over $1.3 million per year in financial aid and scholarships, including full financial support. They were admitted and funded by most competitive universities such as Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Duke, MIT, Vanderbilt, Rochester, Boston, Marquette, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, as well as leading liberal arts colleges like Middlebury, Babson, Bryn Mawr, Sarah Lawrence, etc.
Campus support system
It can be daunting as an international student to consider committing to years of study in a foreign language, far from home and your support network. What if you need quick help with your academics or any personal issues?
You already know about the quality of the education you will receive by studying in America and about the opportunities you will have to pursue your passions through classes and extra-curricular activities – but did you know that U.S. universities also provide international students with a broad network of on-campus resources and services to help ensure their full success?
Read more...
Some of the free services you can expect at a U.S. school include:
- International student services, that will assist with legal questions about visas and other documentation, queries and concerns about housing, and academic as well as personal issues;
- Academic advisors, who will go over the academic courses available with you and help you pick the classes which best suit your needs and interests;
- International mentoring and tutoring programs, that will match you with a more senior student who will help with the adjustment process;
- Libraries with thousands of resources, from books to magazines to online publications, as well as friendly staff who will help you find what you are looking for;
- Cultural centers and student groups;
- Career services that will help you prepare your CV and make the most of campus and internship opportunities during college;
- Writing, math and sciences, as well as computer centers offering free workshops and individual support.
"Students are encouraged to consult a variety of helpful resource centers, mostly run by other Hamilton students. The Writing Center allows students to consult writing tutors on their papers and essays and get valuable tips to improve their writing skills. Hamilton also has an Oral Communication Center, where students can record practice speeches and receive feedback from student tutors. Finally, the Quantitative Literacy Center hires students to act as advisers and lend a helping hand with homework on a variety of quantitative subjects such as chemistry, economics, physics, and mathematics. All of these tools enhance students’ educational experience and bring the community closer together.
Cooperation in academics is governed by Hamilton’s honor code; in this way, ideas are acknowledged properly and no cheating occurs on examinations"
Mihai Dohotaru, Hamilton College, NY, class of 2013
Better Job Prospects and a Stronger CV
A U.S. degree opens many doors – many employers favor applicants with overseas study and work experience.
An international student’s commitment to study in a culture other than his own, in a foreign language, and at high academic standards helps sketch the portrait of an independent and determined person who can adapt to new environments and situations and who thrives in intercultural contexts.
