What Participants Say About USEG Tours

The knowledgeable staff at USEG take great pride in their work to create successful events. University reps will meet thousands of interested students during the tour. RIT has enjoyed participation in the Gulf region events and have received applications as a result of the connections and contacts made. Thank you, USEG!

U.S. Educational Group's Fall 2010 Tour to the Middle East was outstanding. The high school visits and college fairs were extremely well attended and very productive. The level of knowledge, customer service, personal attention to detail and personal interaction from Mr. Joseph Humadi and Ms. Wassan Humadi was exemplary and made for an immensely positive tour experience. Any U.S institution serious about recruiting international students from the Middle East should definitely consider signing up for a USEG tour.

This was my first tour with USEG and I was impressed with the smart design of the tour schedule, packing in multiple recruiting and networking opportunities, but also allowing for moments of R&R to recharge.
The tour directors, Joseph and Wassan, were agile and energetic, and used their extensive networks in the region to make even the small details of the tour go smoothly.

My experience with USEG has been a great one. Both Wassan and Joseph Humadi are very professional, helpful, and prompt with their assistance and communications. They were very helpful during my very first recruitment trip with them. The turnout in the first city in Beirut exceeded my expectation. I saw many good students and was pleased with the quality of students I met. The pace of the tour was just right and it was money well spent with USEG's tour. I would strongly recommend this company to anyone who wishes to recruit in the Middle East.

My experience with USEG tours has always been fantastic! Joseph and Wassan do a great job of setting up terrific fairs in the region which attract huge numbers of qualified students seeking to study in the U.S.

I first met Wassan and Joseph when I joined the Middle East USEG Tour October 2010. Being one of the few non-American Universities on the tour I was unsure what to expect! However I had a great experience and a great interest from the people attending the fairs. The success of this tour was due to many factors: great organization including well targeted advertising attracting the adequate candidates, great mini fairs in the top schools of each visited country, and of course a great professional and fun bunch of people. I am already looking forward to join this tour again.

This was my inaugural year participating in the US Educational Group Tour, as well as my first time recruiting in the Middle East. I found the tour productive and was also able to gather a lot of valuable information about students in this particular region. Joseph Humadi and Wassan Humadi were both extremely helpful throughout the tour, including preparation before the tour and follow-up post-tour. They are both extremely knowledgeable and provided valuable insights into recruiting in this region. The fairs attracted a large number of qualified students who were eager to learn more about the institutions represented and studying in the U.S. in general. I also found the market for prospective graduate students particularly strong in this region.

I have travelled with USEG to the Middle East for the past six years and have always had excellent results as well as customer service from the USEG staff. The fairs are well attended and Mr. Humadi’s deep knowledge of the region and track record ensures access to the best schools and students. Our yield rate from his tours has consistently improved from year to year and become our second largest feeder area for international admission. A class act!

This was our first time to use USEG. I was very impressed by the turnout to the fairs in Jeddah and Amman. There were many serious prospects, both on the undergraduate and graduate level. USEG does an excellent job with registration and advertising. Their fairs are truly a solid investment.

Joseph & Wassan Humadi make an excellent team. I am constantly impressed with their prompt response time to questions and their attention to detail. With their knowledge about the culture, language and customs, coupled with their years of experience in the region, they will certainly help tailor their tours to your institutions needs and goals. This was Albion College's first year using USEG and we will certainly continue using them in the future.

The Middle East region is Joseph Humadi's specialty. Therefore, as a participant in the US Educational Group tour, you get all his knowledge, personal contacts and experience working for you. From a personal standpoint, Mr. Humadi provides excellent customer service making it a pleasure to participate in his tours.

Joseph Humadi of The US Educational Group (USEG) provided excellent service before, during, and after the Mideast/Gulf Educational Fairs. Prior to the trip, the information Joseph provided was accurate and extremely helpful. During the trip, not only was there a great turnout of prospective students, but there were productive meetings with US Consular & Educational Officers and AMIDEAST advisors in every capital we visited. The venues were also fabulous. Finally, after the trip, Joseph provided a statistical summary of the number of visitors from each city and executive summaries of meetings held with consular officers about visa issues. International Services Center at The University of Central Florida will continue to use USEG's services and highly recommends Joseph Humadi's group.
