Of course! There are many cases where children travel to the U.S. alone. For younger children, airline unaccompanied minor services are available to ensure a safe journey.

Q4
How much money should I bring?
Most students manage with about $200-$300 per month for personal expenses. The U.S. is a credit card-based society, and even small coffee shops accept card payments. In case of injury or illness, having a credit card is essential for covering medical expenses, so bringing one is required.

Is the airfare included in the program fee?
No, it is not included. You will need to purchase your own airfare separately.
