You would be curious that why did I put it on the top. Are you? Well, you probably should.


Actually, while I was on a hunt for some great pre college summer programs abroad available now a day.


I figured summer study abroad opportunities offered by Columbia University are someway distinct. They treat summer abroad programs quite differently than a semester or year abroad.


Wonder how? Let me explain:


In Columbia Summer abroad program, the students stay with fellow international students. Unlike other programs where the students share their time with local students.


Moreover, the student can choose either some language program. i.e. to enhance his foreign language speaking capability. A culture immersion program. Or they will also have the option to pick a program that can aid to their majors (subjects) in the University.


In addition to it, Columbia summer abroad programs are cost effective. Lots of scholarships, grants, and financial assistance involved in the program, so yeah.
