[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20 year old DS will study abroad in the fall, and I am wondering whether he should apply for either of these programs. What is the actual benefit and is there one you would recommend? Thanks.[/quote]

Global Entry includes TSA Precheck automatically.   That is the best choice unless studying in Canada.

For Canada, get NEXUS, which is cheaper than GE and includes both GE and TSA Precheck. Only NEXUS also provides fast-track entry *into* Canada. [/quote]

Nexus is more logistically difficult, as you have to interview at only a few locations along the border, or you have do to 2 interviews, one in the US and one in Canada.

The whole thread is about someone studying outside the US.

In the context of OP, Nexus is not really more complicated -- because student already is attending school in Canada.  Hence the qualification "For Canada,...". [/quote]
