A Guide to Studying Abroad in Mongolia
Locations
While it is the second largest landlocked country on the planet, Mongolia actually has a very sparse population of only 3 million citizens. Its landscape thus remains incredibly well-preserved; from the Gobi desert in the southeast to the mountainous terrain of the northwest, one could spend a lifetime exploring its vast and unsettled wilderness. Mongolia is also known as the “The Land of the Eternal Blue Sky” because it is sunny for nearly three-quarters of each year.
Ulaanbaatar, the country’s capital, is far and away the most popular destination where to study abroad in Mongolia. Ulaanbaatar is home to nearly half of Mongolia’s population, so unsurprisingly the majority of its universities are located here as well. Sitting in the heart of the country along the Tuul River, Ulaanbaatar is the cultural, economic, and political center of activity in Mongolia. It is also conveniently connected to the neighboring countries of China and Russia via the Trans-Siberian Railway.
The rest of the Mongolian landscape consists of fairly remote towns and smaller cities. If you study abroad in Mongolia as part of a program that moves around between different locations, then you may get to soak in some smaller destinations as part of your studies. However most traditional study abroad programs in Mongolia remain anchored in the capital city of Ulaanbaatar.
