If you plan to enter a college or university, our office will help you to choose schools and make applications. You may take as many 8-week sessions as you want for up to 1 academic year. This will vary somewhat, depending on the student's taste in recreation, touring, and purchases. Students should arrive at least three or four days before the session begins in order to rest, get settled, and attend orientation. Arcata is a typical small university town free of crime associated with urban centers.
People here are very friendly and appreciate foreign visitors.
While offering the advantages and safety of rural America, we enjoy the cultural and recreational benefits of a major university. Students may choose to eat in the cafeteria on campus or may prepare meals in their apartments. Foreign students have American roommates on and off campus. We look forward to hearing from you.
