Meet Alumni: Real Connections, Real Guidance from Those Who’ve Been There

At GoingCollege, we believe your journey to study abroad shouldn't be a solo mission — it should be guided by experience. That’s why we’ve introduced a powerful new feature for Achiever Package students:

"Meet Alumni" – connect directly with graduates from your applied universities.

👥 What is an “Alumni”?

An alumnus (plural: alumni) is a former student or graduate of a university. In the USA, alumni networks are an integral part of every university — they're not just groups of former students; they are mentors, advisors, and industry insiders who actively support future and current students.

🤝 Why Does Alumni Connection Matter?

Studying in a new country can be overwhelming — new culture, new system, and so many unanswered questions. But imagine if you could ask someone who’s already lived it. That’s what alumni connections offer:

💡 Key Benefits of Connecting with Alumni:

🌍 Alumni in USA Universities: A Powerful Network

In the U.S., alumni are a strong part of every university’s identity. Most top institutions even have official alumni associations and mentoring programs for international students. Our Achiever students gain early access to these networks through GoingCollege.

Many alumni are working in top companies, pursuing further studies, or even offering internships — so these are not just social connections, they’re potential career allies!

🎯 Who Gets Access?

Only students enrolled in the Achiever Package at GoingCollege will have access to this premium feature. Once your university applications are underway, our counselors will:

1. Match you with alumni from the universities you've applied to
2. Create private sessions (chat or video call, based on availability)
3. Guide you on what to ask and how to make the most of it

🛠 How to Use the Alumni Feature?

1. Apply to your desired universities through GoingCollege Achiever Package
2. Get matched with alumni who studied there
3. Ask smart questions:
4. What was the first week in the U.S. like?
5. How did they find on-campus jobs?
6. What should I pack or avoid?
7. What GPA helped them get a scholarship renewal?
8. Build a network that might support you beyond college

🧭 Final Words

"Meet Alumni" is more than just a feature — it’s your chance to learn from someone who was once exactly where you are now. And with the Achiever Package, you’ll have an edge in not just getting admitted — but getting prepared.
