I need to tell you something. When I started this community, I was one guy trying to help as many students as possible. That hasn't changed. But the way I've been doing it needs to. There are people who can't be in this community right now. Not because they don't want to be here. Not because they can't afford it. Because Skool blocks their country. Students in Nigeria, students across parts of Africa and the Global South, people who need this community the most, can't even walk through the door. They've been messaging me on TikTok and Instagram asking how to join, and I've had to tell them they can't. That has never sat right with me. So I built something. It's called The Village. And it lives at www.williamlebeau.com/village. Here's what's inside: - DM me directly in a space built for real conversation, not quick replies that disappear in a feed. - Join groups based on your country, degree level, and program. Connect with people on the exact same path. - Get school recommendations tailored to your actual profile and situation. - Submit your essays and applications for my personal review. - Join live calls where you can ask me anything, face-to-face. - Access free courses on everything from finding schools to landing your visa. What this means for Skool: This community stays open. The posts, the resources, the conversations you've built here aren't going anywhere. But my DMs on Skool are closing. If you message me here, I won't see it. Everything is moving to The Village. That's where I'll be. What you need to do right now: Go to www.williamlebeau.com/village. Create your free account. Set up your profile. Free courses, the blog, and videos are open to everyone. The DMs, groups, live calls, and personal reviews are for paying members. One last thing. If you're already in this community, you got lucky. You happened to be in a country that Skool allows. But you probably know someone who wasn't that lucky. Someone back home. A friend. A classmate. Someone who's been trying to figure out how to study abroad with zero guidance.
