Even in the face of growing competition from Australia, New Zealand, and the European Union, the United States remain the global top destination for study, internships, or research abroad.

“TransatlanTicker” (a play on words meaning “Transatlantic Newsreel”) aims to provide a broad German audience with useful news and commentary on the full range of educational opportunities in the United States and important trends in transatlantic cultural exchange.

It features profiles of colleges and universities, exchange programs, scholarship and post doc announcements, advice on how to write an American-style personal essay or resume, tips on taking standardized tests, visa news, noteworthy trends in higher education policy, amusing campus trivia, and much more.

The blog also seeks to be a forum for discussion and networking, e.g. by listing a number of blogs by German students and interns currently in the United States so that others with similar plans may easily get in touch. So stay tuned!
