United States

The UK and the US are home to some of the world’s most prestigious universities. Both nations attract thousands of international students a year and for good reason.

Fraternities and sororities: weighing the positives and negatives of Greek life

Online, digital and app-based banks offer most of the services that traditional banks provide, but are entirely based online, meaning there are no in-person branches. Instead, you can apply to open an account online or via an app, and customer service and support is available over the internet or by phone.

A big advantage of online and app-based banks is that they offer many built-in budgeting features, including notifications on your spending, the ability to set savings goals and a personal budget, as well as easy money transfer and “split-the-bill” options.

With US consulates slowly reopening around the world, many international students are preparing to come to the US to begin their studies. While some may be coming alone, others, such as postgraduate students, might be thinking about bringing partners or children with them.

While it is possible to bring family and dependents to the US on a student visa, there are strict regulations around it and the process can be time-consuming.
