The United States is one of the top destinations for higher studies. Every year more than a thousand Nepalese students leave the country to study higher education in the USA either by self-funding, sponsor or through scholarship. One of the best ways to research about studying in the USA in Nepal is to visit USEF Nepal, United States Education Foundation in Nepal. It provides counseling services to students; it has a large library with research materials, gives informative seminars and also assists with test preparation. Almost all the services provided by them are free but some of the services may be charged based upon conditions.
