The Fulbright Educational Advising Center (FEAC) in Bucharest is affiliated to the U.S. Department of State and part of the 400 plus Education USA network. Our center has served over 100,000 Romanian students since its inauguration in 1993. The FEAC, which is part of the Fulbright Commission in Romania, is the foremost source of information in the country on U.S. higher education. Its mission is to promote U.S. study opportunities and facilitate access to study programs in the U.S. With a well-stocked library of college catalogs, guides, reference books, and directories, regularly updated through the yearly book allowance provided by the U.S. Department of State, FEAC offers extensive information and guidance on the U.S. education system, study programs at U.S. colleges and universities, application procedures, admissions requirements, funding sources, cultural and academic adjustment, the F1 visa interview, etc. The information is provided in the form of group advising sessions, individual counseling and ad-hoc consultations with U.S. trained educational advisers. FEAC also makes available preparation materials for the standardized tests (e.g., TOEFL, SAT, GRE, GMAT) required for admission to U.S. colleges and universities. Apart from the rich testing library, our visitors also have free access to a FEAC operated computer center with nine work-stations and permanent Internet connection. All services are free of charge. In order to effectively disseminate information on U.S. study opportunities throughout Romania, FEAC coordinates a network of regional educational advising centers based in the main university cities: Cluj Napoca, Iasi, Sibiu, and Timisoara. They are small-scale replicas of the FEAC and offer a limited range of Education USA-related services. |
