USA

Large, modern cities, sprawling suburbs, and small, rural villages; tradition and innovation; Hollywood stars and unsung heroes; Native Americans and immigrants from all corners of the world; conservatives and liberals and everyone in between; an individualistic society in which people have a strong sense of obligation to community; a deeply patriotic people trying to understand both their relationship to each other and their role in the world. 

The United States is home to a complex, diverse society that is both fascinating and puzzling. Leibniz Universität Hannover's U.S. partner universities reflect this diversity, ranging from small, private liberal arts colleges to large, public research universities. A study abroad experience in the U.S., whether for a traditional semester of study, an internship, or a thesis, offers an unforgettable opportunity to discover this fascinating country for yourself.
