Phoenix

One of the largest cities in the USA both in terms of size and population, Phoenix is the capital of Arizona and a gateway to some of the most spectacular natural beauty that the country has to offer. The state is mostly made up of public forest, parkland and Native American reservations with incredible sights to see like the Grand Canyon all within driving distance.

With high temperatures, year-round sun (it gets 330 days of sun a year and just eight inches of rain) and affordable cost of living compared to many other large American cities, Phoenix offers a very different way of life for international students. Around 2,000 a year choose the University of Phoenix, enjoying the city’s famous art, culture and diversity.
