Most of the information provided in this website has been addressed directly to the foreign student who is planning to pursue his higher education in the United States. While much of that information is also very useful to the parents of that student, there are some issues or concerns that are of more importance to a parent than to a child. Sending a child away to school is difficult for any parent, but sending a child to school in a foreign country with which you many not be familiar is even more so. This section tries to address many of the issues that will be most important to a parent.
