What can I expect living in America?
Life in the US will almost certainly be different from what you are used to. It is difficult to say what is the ‘American’ way of life as attitude and outlooks vary considerably according to where you are in the country. The United States is a very cosmopolitan country with residents from many countries and ethnic backgrounds. When you first arrive you may notice differences in the way people behave compared to your own country. As you become accustomed to living here you may find yourself adapting to all sorts of things such as: offering, accepting and refusing hospitality; expressing your opinion; and looking after yourself, which means anything from running your own bank account to cooking your own food and washing your own clothes.

Colleges and Universities: What’s the Difference?
In many countries, a college is an institution of lower ranking to a university, and offers only vocational courses. This is not the case in America. In fact quite the opposite is true, and many of the finest private liberal arts institutions in the land are called colleges. We offer both two-year liberal arts colleges, from which you can progress to top tier institutions to complete your studies, and four-year colleges, offering full bachelor degree programs. Traditionally, only universities offered graduate studies, but today, even this is no longer the case, and many of our College partners also offer graduate programs.
