The Fulbright Educational Advising Center, located in Bucharest, fosters mutual cultural understanding between the US and Romania through educational exchange.

The Fulbright Educational Advising Center is located in the capital city, Bucharest, which offers an abundance of quality food and affordable restaurants, quality entertainment, and a good public transportation system. There is easy access from Bucharest to the mountains with their ski slopes and the Black Sea Coast with its beaches. English is spoken extensively in the urban areas, especially by the younger generation.

The Educational Advising Center of the Romanian-U.S. Fulbright Commission, commonly known as the Fulbright Educational Advising Center, is the most comprehensive source of information in Romania on study opportunities in the US. In addition to advising students, the Center serves as a liaison with U.S. universities and Romanian educational authorities in order to facilitate the admission of Romanian students to U.S. study and research programs.

The Center has a library, a reading room, and a computer center with nine workstations. Visitors have free access to the Center’s services: group and individual advising sessions on application and admissions to study programs in the U.S.; test preparation materials, available in both hard copy and electronic format; and Internet access.
