STUDY IN NEW YORK


There are few cities in the world that can compete with New York in terms economic, cultural and academic power.


Indeed, its influence is so great that this huge metropolis, home to close to 18 million people and larger in area than Jamaica or Qatar, is often argued to be the unofficial capital of the world. But it’s important to remember that New York is a state, not just a city.


Though NYC, the metropolitan area of which actually spills out into New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania as well the state itself, may loom large over the world’s imagination, there is a lot more to the United States’ third


most populous state than the Big Apple.


Lying to the west of New England and extending north to Canada, there are plenty of urban hubs outside of the state’s biggest city. Lying towards the west of the state, Buffalo and Rochester both have metropolitan areas which are home to over a million people, and are both prominent college towns, as is smaller Ithaca and state capital Albany.


Outside of the cities, New York is a lush green state, with 18.9 million acres of forest. It borders two great lakes (Erie and Ontario) as well as the vast and rugged Lake


Champlain, and is intersected by a plethora of rivers and waterways


(70,000 miles), including the mighty River Hudson and the Erie Canal.


A number of spectacular mountain ranges, such as the Catskills and the Adirondack add further interest to the landscape, and the National Park adjoined to the latter is the country’s largest – roughly the size of the country of Macedonia! With all this, it’s no surprise that city slickers flock to ‘upstate’ New York at every given opportunity.


So, whether you’re based in the country’s most famous city, or somewhere in the beautiful state that surrounds. New York can promise a fulfilling study abroad experience. And, of course, you’ll always be able to visit the other at the drop of a hat!
