CampusPin Q&A
How can international students search for U.S. colleges?
Short answerOpen /international-students for the international-student hub, or /results to filter directly. Use the program, school-type, and tuition filters to narrow the 3,800+ U.S. colleges to ones that match your academic goals and family budget. Always verify visa, English-language, and international-admissions requirements with each institution.
International students researching U.S. colleges face two extra layers on top of the standard search: program availability for international students (some scholarships and aid types are domestic-only) and the visa process (most undergraduate students enter on an F-1 visa, which depends on admission to a SEVP-certified institution).
CampusPin's /international-students hub orients the search for students outside the U.S., with regional sub-pages for students in China, India, Japan, Singapore, the broader Asia region, and the GCC. From /results, you can filter by major, school type, tuition ceiling, and location. CampusPin does NOT provide legal immigration advice — for visa, English-language testing, and international-admissions specifics, always verify with the institution's international student office and with official U.S. government sources (sevis.ice.gov, travel.state.gov).
How to do it
- Open /international-students for the dedicated hub.
- For regional context, see /international-students/{china|india|japan|singapore|asia|gcc}.
- Use /results filters: program, school type, tuition ceiling, location.
- Pin candidate schools and open /compare for side-by-side review.
- For visa and English-language requirements, contact each school's international office.
- For U.S. government visa guidance, see official sources (sevis.ice.gov, travel.state.gov).
Verify with the institution. CampusPin supplements but does not replace official admissions, financial-aid, or registrar offices. Always confirm final details with the college directly before deciding.

How do I find colleges by major?
Use the program/major filter on /results to narrow CampusPin to schools that offer a specific major. For deeper context on a major and the schools that offer it by state, open /majors/{major-slug} or /programs/{major-slug}/in/{state-slug}.
What questions should I ask before choosing a college?
Ask about real net price for your income band, graduation and retention rate for students like you, program-specific outcomes, available academic support, and whether you can switch majors easily. Verify each answer with the institution directly — federal data is directional, not final.
