Hello,
I am curious about your website which I have only just now come across while surfing the web. Do you plan to host names of institutions of higher education (IHE) in the USA on your website in the future? Do you have a lot of traffic on your website of students who might be interested in pursuing a foreign degree in law or an MBA? I would be interested in learning more about the Student Sri Lanka site.
Thank you,
Sue Downing, Director of Electronic Marketing at Suffolk University (Boston, MA, USA - Madrid, Spain - Dakar, Senegal)
