I’m from Australia, and am planning on going on exchange to America.
I’ve never visited America before, so I’m not really sure of anything. I have to pick 3 Universities to apply to, and so far I’ve narrowed it down to University of Connecticut, University of Massachusetts, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and University of Miami.
I’m a Journalism major, and of course I’m looking for a Uni that has a good reputation for their Journalism course. But I’m also looking for somewhere, well, awesome. Haha. I’m only in America for 6 months, and I really want to see as much as I can, and be able to travel easily. I’d like to see snow, but that’s not a definite (I know Miami doesn’t get any). I want to go to a fun place, with good academics and that just really, at the risk of sounding really weird, is all American! Also, travel is important - I want to see lots. But that doesn’t mean I necessarily want to be close to New York, California etc, I just want a place that is accessible by train/bus or whatever, and is easy to see other states.
Thanks!
Thanks for everything so far guys. I should probably add that my University only had a handful of Universities that I can actually apply to - its the ones that they have an agreement with to swap students. So although great, some of those Uni’s aren’t a possibility. Also, out of some of the Uni’s we do have to offer, they block certain majors from coming to their Uni. So like, Boulder, Colorado blocks Journalism students from exchange, so I can’t go there. I’m not sure why, but anyway, these were the only four I was left with, aside from Kansas University, Arizona University, Nebraska University and Indiana University. And I liked the look of Illinois, Miami, Connecticut and Massachusetts the most.
