Airfares to the U.S. have risen even more sharply. For budget-conscious travelers eager to explore America, instead of booking expensive DIY trips that come with high airfare plus various accommodation and travel expenses, why not consider joining a study tour? Pack your bags and head abroad to learn—enjoy carefully planned itineraries that save costs, visit famous attractions, improve language skills, and create memorable travel experiences all at once. With numerous overseas study agencies on the market, choosing an experienced and distinctive study tour program ensures young students can happily immerse themselves in an overseas life experience without missing out.

Dreaming of life in big cities like New York or Los Angeles? STAGE Study Abroad manager Lei Xinyi says: “When it comes to the U.S., Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, and New York are the top four favorite cities among Taiwanese students. Whether you want to explore California theme parks or visit Ivy League schools on the East Coast, a study tour lets you dive deeper into the local culture instead of just skimming the surface.”

The University of California, Riverside is a well-known American university located about a one-hour drive from downtown Los Angeles. Its Language Center’s flagship program is a 3-week American culture and conversation course. With homestay families providing daily pick-up and drop-off, and experienced UC faculty teaching 15 hours of English per week through drama, presentations, group activities, and enriching cultural classes along with city tours and theme park trips, it’s the best choice for experiencing American culture.

For those who prefer independent learning, why not design a personalized self-guided study tour? Many schools offer summer language-plus programs in areas such as design, dance, photography, etc. “Every year, we plan customized study tours for many students and recommend that after improving their language skills, they add some independent travel or join overseas English group tours like Contiki or Trafalgar. This helps them practice their new language skills while making international friends, making the whole journey richer and more memorable,” advises STAGE Study Abroad manager Lei Xinyi.

STAGE Study Abroad partners with many renowned universities in the U.S. and Canada to offer a variety of distinctive study programs. For details, please seehttp://www.studytravel.com.tw/erita/1/studytravel.aspx?keyword=news
