Culture
Learning about U.S. culture is part of the study abroad experience. By living among Americans, international students can see U.S. values. Students have a distinct culture, and colleges try to offer something for everyone. For some this means getting involved in politics, religious groups, or student clubs on campus. One tradition many American students enjoy is spring break, a week in March or April when classes are cancelled. Students can choose to spend the week relaxing at school, spending time with their families at home, working to earn money, or traveling with their friends.
