Higher Education Updates – 31.03.2023

Study in the USA Fair

On 17 March 2023, The Bangkok Prep Higher Education Office in collaboration with AEO Tour, hosted 14 US universities and colleges on campus to meet the wonderful students of Bangkok Prep. The representatives travelled to different countries around the world to meet with international students keen on studying in the US. 

This event was a great opportunity for our students to learn more about US universities and their options for higher education in the United States. Students who have attended the fair found it to be a valuable resource for learning about US universities and their admission requirements. They also appreciated the opportunity to meet with representatives from multiple universities and ask questions about specific programs and opportunities.
