Find out why the UK continues to be the top study abroad destination for Americans. More than 40,000 US students chose to spend a summer, semester or year of college in the UK last year.
Some teenagers also have the opportunity to go abroad through the British Council's 9/11 UK Summer Camp, which allows 16- to 18-year-olds who were directly impacted by the 9/11 terrorist attacks to experience the rich educational and cultural heritage of the UK.
