The American university systemThe American university system is justly regarded as one of the best in the world.

The academic year normally runs for nine months, with two semesters per year. The fall semester runs from August/September to December and the spring semester from January to May/June. All the universities in this brochure are Liberal Arts Universities. This means they offer a broad range of subjects in the first two years.

Accommodation on campusWhichever university you choose, you will live in a university residence with easy access to all learning, sports and social facilities. Nearly all American universities have twin rooms with shared bathrooms and common rooms. A Residential Advisor will live in the residence and is there to help with any issues. There are usually separate floors or blocks for male and female students.

SportsSport is often very important at American universities. Elite sports are played by the main university teams but players of any standard can also take part in American football, basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis, swimming and lots of other sports on campus. There are also general fitness facilities at every campus.

Student clubs and societiesUniversity clubs and societies provide a great opportunity to make new American friends and to share an interest with like-minded people. Some clubs and societies are just social, others are focused on cultural or academic topics, or the arts. We encourage you to take a full and active part.

Arts and culture Campus life often also includes performances of drama, music or dance. There are often regular debates which provide the opportunity to listen to and discuss different ideas. This can be a great way of developing expertise in English and engaging with American life and culture.
