Student Travel to Springfield, IL Known as the Prairie State, there is indeed much in the form of natural beauty to check out, whether driving any of Illinois' five scenic byways where you can witness river, lake, prairie, and acres and acres of bucolic farmland, or traversing one of the more than 50 state parks and myriad wildlife and nature centers. The state capital of Springfield is Abraham Lincoln's home city. Abraham Lincoln -- who spent all of his adult pre-presidential years calling the state home -- and thus was an anti-slavery state prior to the Civil War. Because of its location on the Mississippi River, Illinois became one of many active Underground Railroad states in the Union, with the cities of Alton and Jacksonville in southwestern Illinois being particularly notable spots. Today, many of those sites and their artifacts have been preserved. |

Student Travel to Washington D.C. Dive into United States history with a tour of our nation's capital! Washington D.C.is full of grand images and remarkable words, from The Capitol building and the Pentagon to Lincoln's Gettysburg Address inscribed on the Lincoln Memorial. Politics is this city's business: walk the corridors of government, hear big names dropped with nonchalance and marvel at the riches of its museums, from the Smithsonian Institute to the National Archives. Beyond politics, however, a creative, diverse community relaxes in shady parks and a bubbly, eclectic restaurant scene. |

Student Travel to San Juan, Puerto Rico San Juan, Puerto Rico's buzzing capital, preserves the island's Spanish heritage in its colonial neighborhoods. The cobblestone streets of Old San Juan teem with restaurants and shops and a large concentration of art galleries and museums. New San Juan has its charms as well, particularly in its more storied residential architecture in Santurce and Miramar. Golden sand fronts the coastal areas of Ocean Park and Isla Verde, where peaceful sunsets rub shoulders with a nightlife that rocks until the early morning. |

Student Travel to Prague, Czech Republic The City of a Thousand Spires has seen it all. Centuries of Bohemian kings, classical composers, invading Nazis, Soviet tanks and Velvet Revolutionaries have passed over Prague's cobblestones, and the spires survived it all, creating one of Europe's most romantic and beautiful skylines.
