Each of the 50 states in the United States of America is unique. When you choose a school in the United States, you should pick a program of study that matches your goals and interests. You also should consider the campus location, though, and decide whether you want to live there for your entire program of study. You can use Embassy.gov’s “50 States in 50 Days” to learn more about each state and easily compare the locations you are considering.

The tool provides a wide range of information on pop culture, climate for that region and higher education opportunities. Click on each state to read more about it and prepare for your travel to the United States.

Remember that as an F or M student you can only attend schools certified by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program. If you have more questions about your campus, talk to your designated school official and visit your school’s website.
