WHY STUDY IN CITY?
One of the most cosmopolitan and important capitals in South America, Lima is in a stunningly beautiful setting at the foot of the Andes surrounded by the Pacific Ocean. A modern city with historical elements still intact, Lima is known worldwide for its fantastic cuisine and wide variety of museums, archaeological sites and famous architectural treasures. The city’s local markets feature beautiful crafts, silver products and jewelry, and its youth-friendly entertainment attracts students from around the world. In addition, Lima’s location on the Pacific is ideal for all kinds of activities, from water sports to hang gliding from the cliffs over the beaches.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Keep an ear out for unfamiliar words as you explore—Peru is home to more than 90 indigenous languages. In this multicultural setting, you’ll take classes in Spanish on a modern, 100-acre campus at one of Latin America’s highest-ranking universities. See big-city contradictions up close as you dig into urban social, economic, and political issues through community service or research with Lima NGOs. Interested in education? Help a local organization support disadvantaged kids. Excursions take you out of the city to explore pre-Incan and Afro-Peruvian culture, capping off an unforgettable semester.
