Summer study abroad is not just a vacation, as no trip can bring you as much value as this one!
Are you thinking about studying at prestigious universities in the U.S.? The reality of student life abroad isn’t all rosy. If you haven’t prepared a top-notch shock absorber, don’t risk it.
Signing up for a summer course in the U.S. is considered a smart first step to enhance your language skills, familiarize yourself with the American study methods, adapt to cultural differences, and develop essential skills to better prepare for your future university journey. Summer study abroad is the perfect reconnaissance step for anyone seriously considering studying abroad.
The summer program at Phillips Exeter in New Hampshire offers specialized courses for students in grades 8-12 lasting 2-4 weeks.
Trần Đăng Khoa (17 years old, District 3, Ho Chi Minh City) shares: “My class has a trend of studying abroad very early, including myself. Some of my friends even went to top high schools like Phillips Academy, Phillips Andover, The Taft School… as early as 9th grade to better prepare for a spot at a top U.S. university. I was advised by seniors to attend a summer study abroad program for at least 2 weeks at Columbia, my dream school, to prepare for the long haul and avoid being surprised or having to adapt to a new environment. I’m currently excited about my plans for this summer.”
Few people know that every year, U.S. high schools and universities offer summer study abroad programs specifically designed for international students to experience real American life.
