Roadtrip USA Program

Take a Trip and See the USA

that Hollywood doesn’t show you!!!!!!


Welcome to Road Trip USA! The goal of Road Trip USA is to expose international students to American multi-culturalism and provide an enriching setting for them to mingle with US citizens in the community. Trips focus on various cultures in Washington, DC and all along the East Coast. These cultures range from ethnic to religious to urban differences. To see pictures and explanations of past trips please click on the links below.

Student quotes about their Roadtrip experience:

“It seems like we’re in a movie!”
"The fair was an interesting experience – fulfilling some stereotypical images of rural America, and breaking others"
"It was just a lot of fun and a good excuse for everyone to witness oddities like deep-fried funnel-cakes and cows giving birth."
