Study abroad in Connecticut

The state of Connecticut has a distinguished history, having been a key player in the early developments of the American government. Connecticut's attractions for the visitor are as diverse and varied as its weather and climate. An abundance of state parks with lakes and streams makes fishing the primary pastime. Other popular outdoor recreational activities are camping, hiking and trekking. For the history-seeker and the artistically inclined, there are plenty of impressive and efficiently maintained museums and galleries, and historical monuments and sites.

The diversity extends even into the sphere of higher education in Connecticut. There is the top-of-the-line Yale University, a part of the prestigious Ivy League and a whole range of colleges under the purview of the University of Connecticut, which is a state-sponsored institution. Also, numerous community colleges and independent two-year institutions offer career programs in almost every field of study, which includes the technical colleges which are of particular interest to those studying in Connecticut due to the presence of a strong manufacturing industry.
