A Guide to Studying Abroad in the Bahamas
Best Places to Study in the Bahamas
The Bahamas are home to a wide variety of marine life (including the huge sea snail known as the Queen Conch) that thrive in waters surrounding its more than 700 islands, islets, and cays. Located between the shores of Florida in the U.S. to the north and Cuba to the south, this is a tropical island paradise teeming with wildlife that makes up the rich and diverse ecology of the Atlantic Ocean’s western reaches.
San Salvador. Widely believed as Christopher Columbus’ first land he sighted and visited, this island holds its name thanks to him. With plentiful sandy beaches, the Pleistocene Cockburk Town Fossil Reef, and the Dixon Hill lighthouse, it makes for a beautiful location for your studies. Almost all of the study abroad programs are located here, so you’re in for a fun time in this location brimming with tropical views.
Nassau. The capital of the Bahamas is located on New Providence Island. With a tropical climate and colorful architecture, it’s no wonder that this is a popular tourist hotspot. You might also recognize areas that were in the James Bond films. Nassau also holds the honor of being one of three cities of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network in the Caribbean, and you don’t want to miss out on Junkanoo, its festive street parade!
Andros — an island located in the western area, and it’s the largest of the Bahamian Islands. Home to several marine features and ecosystems, such as the Tongue of the Ocean, the Andros Barrier Reef, and the largest collection of blue holes, you won’t resist wanting to learn how to scuba dive here. Celebrate with the locals at one of their festivals throughout the year, such as the Conch Festival, the Pirates’ Festival, and the Crabfest at Fresh Creek.
