  2. We request that a visit to our office abroad be incorporated into your schedule so we can provide background on our operations and a general briefing on the universities you intend to visit.

  3. Our offices abroad can also provide suggestions regarding hotels and transportation, but the actual reservations and costs are your responsibility. We will provide the appropriate university contacts and assist in scheduling any desired meetings.
