Question
Hi. The son of a friend of mine who lives in Brazil (Uberaba) is very eager to study in the U.S. He's now a freshman in college and his English is pretty good. Can you recommend any websites that could give him information on how to proceed? Thanks for any help you can give.

Answer
Hello Gary,

Your son's Brazilian friend would need at least three things: 1) be accepted by an American school (check their web site for requirements), 2) have a lot of money and 3) get a US student visa.

Check these sites for more information:
