Living in The USA

Climate

Since the USA is quite large by global standards, the climate varies from area to area and state to state.

For example, in the eastern and central parts of the country, summers are hot and winters can be snowy, resulting in a large temperature difference between summer and winter. In the south, summer temperatures often exceed 30°C (86°F) and since the country is located near the equator, humidity is high and it can get very hot and humid. California, a popular destination for study abroad, is located on the west coast and has a mild climate with low humidity and cool temperatures throughout the year.

Due to these regional differences in climate and temperature, it is advisable to check in advance which area of the USA will be the location for the study abroad program!

Prices

Prices in the USA vary considerably from area to area. In rural areas, not only prices and rent but in some cases, food and household goods can also be bought at a lower price. States located in the central and southern parts of the USA in particular are considered relatively inexpensive, such as Mississippi and Tennessee.

In contrast, the West Coast, the eastern part of the country and the Great Lakes region are considered to be the most expensive. Los Angeles and San Diego fall into this category. The prices of various goods, including food, are high on the West Coast and the East Coast, so if students really want to keep costs down, it is advisable to consider studying abroad in a comparatively inexpensive area.

As with the cost of living, there are differences in public safety between rural and urban areas, however, it is important to be vigilant when going out.
