<p>I was wondering whether or not an international student accepted at an American college is required to go back to his home country for the summer vacation or can he/she stay in the USA?</p>
<p>The answser is no, you don’t have to back to your home country, unless the US visa is expiring. See <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/international-students/1128177-internationals-allowed-stay-us-during-summer.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/international-students/1128177-internationals-allowed-stay-us-during-summer.html</a></p>
<p>However if you plan on staying during the summer, you must have funds to cover your stay OR an on-campus job.</p>
<p>Or an authorized off-campus job. :)</p>
