Welcome to the 158th issue of the International Student News!

This month we are proud to announce the re-launch of two of our most popular websites, IEFA and International Scholarships! Both sites have undergone a major redevelopment in both functionality and content so that you can search and find scholarships and financial aid more easily. These sites for years as a free service to both schools and students involved in international education.

Check out both new sites today and register for your account.

If you're looking for a university that prepares you for a successful career by combining academics and real-world experience, then take a closer look at our Featured School, Johnson & Wales University. They offer programs in business, hospitality, culinary arts, technology and education to more than 17,000 graduate and undergraduate students, representing 93 countries worldwide.

Another reason to take a closer look at Johnson & Wales is they have four different campuses located in some of the best and beautiful cities in the USA. Campuses like Providence, Rhode Island, voted many times as one of the best cities to live in the US. Or if you are interested in sun, sand and surf, check out their North Miami, Florida Campus. What about skiing, hiking or just being outdoors? Then look into their Denver, Colorado campus. Are you a sports fan? If so, you should consider their Charlotte, North Carolina campus, home of the NFL team the Carolina Panthers and NASCAR's Charlotte motor speedway.

Take a look at Johnson & Wales Featured School profile, where you can learn more and request more information.

We have friends and family all across the world - whether it's down under in Australia, across the pond in Europe or even here in the USA! If you're like us, trying to work out the time difference and when you should call is a challenge.

There are many websites out there that let you choose your location, then the location of the city you want and will give you the information - but this is time consuming, and it is not that fun. Every Time Zone is a quick, fun to use time zone checker that lists major cities in an easy to use grid, so you can quickly see what time it is. You can even move the time bar to check their specific times - check it out and let us know what you think!

One of the most commonly asked questions we receive is how international students can both work and study at the same time. Traditionally as part of your F1 visa, your working hours are restricted on-campus - which in turns limits your ability to fund any substantial part of your education.

However, through an innovative new program called HTIR, students can both work and study at the same time. In this unique CPT program (also known as a co-op, work-study or internship program) students can work in full time, paid, practical training employment for the whole duration of the master program in order to enhance the educational experience.
