in America, without the sales pitch.

What we believe

⚠ THE BRUTAL TRUTH WE'RE BUILT ON

Studying in the USA is a high-risk, high-reward bet — and for many students it's the wrong bet. Consultancies earn 10–20% of your tuition as commission, so they'll never tell you that. We earn zero, so we will: it's not for everyone, and that's okay.

📊 Numbers over adjectives

Every stat dated and sourced. Every policy claim re-verified against official sources.

💸 Dollars, fully loaded

We show total cost of attendance — not brochure tuition. Loans sized to the bad outcome.

🚫 Zero commissions

No university kickbacks, no loan referrals for cash, no selling your data. Ever.

By the numbers — ours

Real counts, not marketing. We'd rather show you small true numbers than big invented ones.
