    We are proud to be partnered with some fantastic organisations who can help students with the year abroad. Find out more about them here... 
  • The Mid-Atlantic encompasses 5 states and two of the country’s most popular cities - New York City and Washington DC. Though very urbanised across the Eastern coast, you can still make the most of the great outdoors around the region; Chesapeake Bay, in Maryland, is startlingly beautiful, the Finger Lakes are very much on par with Napa Valley, in California, and Assateague Island boasts wild ponies, sandy beaches and some of the best outdoor camping in the country. Good food, real character, city life and amazing treks make this part of America an ever more popular destination for the year abroad.
  • Big. Bold. Brash. Beguiling. There is no place like it, having attracted immigrants way back when. More than 9 million km²  of land, spreading itself wide across the Western Hemisphere, this is the big Daddy of many fields; economy, territory, politics, culture and well, Maccy D’s.
