Non-stop city

New York’s safe, extensive and low-cost public transport system is open all day and night, and its 13,000 famous yellow cabs are always available. Yet when you need a break from the daily rush, the city provides over 30,000 acres of public parkland.

Studying in New York City is an amazing experience. There are so many people here of different nationalities, so I never feel like I'm a foreigner. I think it's important to feel like you are part of the community.
