Christmas Travel Plans

Posted on 8th December 2008

With the Christmas break coming up very quickly, it can be a great time of year to travel around the world. Although travel before Christmas has been traditionally very expensive - try traveling just after Christmas and into the New Year and you will find that airfare can be cheaper!

The Student Travel Center offers some of the very best student prices for travel all around the world. For example, our student airfare tool will allow you to search for cheap student flights that many other providers do not offer. We also now offer Rail Passes through our Student Rail Pass Center - where you can now purchase single country, multi-country and Europe wide rail passes.

Study Advice Centers

Posted on 13th February 2008

When you plan to study in another country, the best way to start is to gather as much information as possible and do as much research as you can to learn about that country. We have created our "Study Centers", where you can find information, resources and advice for studying in a particular country. Each center offers information about the country, the culture, the climate, etc.. but will also provide you with detailed information about the education system and how you can prepare yourself to study there.

We currently provide study centers for international students who are planning to Study in the USA, Study in the UK, Study in Australia and our Study Abroad center is for US Students who are looking for a semester (or longer) outside the USA.
