About HWS:
HWS is an undergraduate college in the state of New York (NOT IN NEW YORK CITY), in a small town called Geneva. Situated near the beautiful Finger Lakes and with easy access to bigger cities in the vicinity, it is a typical undergraduate college offering the same services as Coe College, though it is much smaller than Coe – but that may be one of its attractions.
Advantages:
- you share a room with an American student on campus
- you will take part in a typical undergraduate education
- the college offers outstanding sports facilities and many excursions during the semester
- the excellent library is open 24 hours a day
- you will be advised by the International Center: Professor Tom D’Agostino
