How to Study Abroad in Chicago

Why Study Abroad in Chicago?

Study abroad programs in Chicago and academic internships are as prevalent as spots to grab a Chicago hot dog, while the offerings are as diverse as the number of ways you can get lost on Chicago’s “L” metro lines. With several top notch programs, future writers and producers may choose journalism and broadcast as a subject to study in Chicago, and, as the birthplace of the skyscraper, students interested in architecture or civil engineering will feel right at home.

When you’ve decided on Chicago study abroad, be sure not to miss out the various free or cheap attractions such as the Cloud Gate Sculpture (a.k.a. “The Bean”), the Shedd Aquarium, or live comedy shows. You’ll be in a big city, but did you know studying in Chicago means first-hand access to one of America’s Great Lakes, too?!
