If you would like to learn more about studying in Canada, you can read the latest edition of our i-studentadvisor Canada magazine.

We are pleased to announce that the first in the i-studentadvisor series of regional USA e-magazines is now online. The USA Region I issue contains information on studying in the states of Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. Click here to launch the USA Region I issue.

In previous years we have produced one annual USA magazine to cover all the states. However in 2010, for ease of use we will be releasing eleven regional issues throughout the year – based on the 11 NAFSA (Association of International Educators) regions. We will then be releasing an annual of all the regions at the end of the year.

By creating these focus issues, i-studentadvisor allows you to explore each state and its education system in more depth. Each of these regional issues contains articles from education boards, institutions and associations in the states in that region and for some states there are even personal introductions from the State Governors! These guides are ideal for students who have an idea of where they would like to study in the USA, however if you haven’t decided yet you can always browse our previous national USA issues.

It has been a pleasure working with the individuals and organisations within Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington that have been instrumental in putting the Region I issue together. The articles in this issue come together to make up a vivid picture of living and studying in these four states. Here are my top picks of articles in the USA Region I issue:

Why study in Idaho

International Oregon

International students’ experiences in Oregon

The home of Twilight

Living and learning in Washington state

Don’t forget to check out the Counsellor Chronicles chapter, where counsellors, authors and international education experts contribute articles of a global interest to the guidance counsellor community.

During this time we have covered a variety of stories and followed developing issues in international education, often sparking debate both on the blog site and in the i-studentadvisor office.

The past 99 i-studentadvisor blogs have brought you the latest statistics in international education from a variety of reports and surveys, controversial global discussions such as the Australia racism issue plus sneak previews of upcoming i-studentadvisor magazines and other ventures including the launch of the brand new website, i-studentlife.

We first looked at the impact of the recession on the international education industry back in May when we reported that many small colleges in the US had fallen victim to the recession. Since then we have had numerous related stories from aroud the world, each with a different take on the recesiion debate, including reports in July that the current economic climate is actually causing an increase in university applications in the UK.
