A platform dedicated to international students in the US catering to their daily needs. The platform will provide essential services for international students, such as housing, food, transportation, connecting with local international students, and information about local events. Additionally, it will offer visa processing services, employment opportunities, and networking events to help students navigate their journey towards obtaining permanent residency in the US.
Lack of centralized platform
International students lack a single platform that caters to their diverse needs and provides comprehensive services essential for their daily life and long-term goals in the US.
Fragmented resources
Existing resources for international students are fragmented across various platforms and institutions, leading to inefficiencies and difficulties in accessing necessary services.
Limited food options
International students always face struggles to cook food, find affordable and culturally appropriate food options.
Visa processing complexities
Understanding the complex visa process and requirements is often overwhelming for international students, leading to confusion and delays.
Transportation accessibility
Accessing transportation for groceries, shopping and day out is always challenging for international students.
Housing challenges
Many international students face challenges in finding suitable and affordable housing options.
A centralized platform for international students in the US could solve many challenges. It would aggregate resources like visa help, housing options, and job listings. Food services, transportation, and cultural integration support would also be provided. This platform would offer legal assistance, financial aid info, and health resources tailored to international students' needs. By bringing everything together in one place, it would make life easier and help students succeed.
