US cities are culturally very diverse: Regardless of which city you choose when learning English in the US, you will find a wide variety of international culinary options—something for every palate. Throughout the country, you will also find American ‘comfort food’ options, such a macaroni and cheese, apple pie, hot dogs, fried chicken, pizza, and cheeseburgers.

The USA covers a vast amount of territory and has a wide range of climates: The best time to come to the US depends on where you want to go.  

• Northeast 

If you want to learn English at EC New York or EC Boston, you can expect pleasant, sunny days in spring, fall and summer. Winter is also a wonderful time to study in these cities, as you will experience a festive atmosphere and be able to participate in a wide range of fun outdoor activities including skiing, sledding, ice skating and cross-country skiing. January is the coldest month, and February usually has the most snow. 

• Northern California  
  San Francisco’s climate is influenced by the Pacific Ocean, which acts as a natural air conditioner. The ocean’s currents moderate the city’s temperatures, preventing extreme cold in winter and creating fog in summer. It is a good idea to dress in layers throughout the year. 

The best weather is usually in late summer and fall, from late August to November. This is when the city experiences its own version of an Indian summer, with higher temperatures and less fog 

• Southern California 

Southern California temperatures are lovely year-round, but Spring and Fall are wonderful times to learn English a EC Los Angeles or EC San Diego: amazing temperatures and lots of sunshine. The water temperature is cooler between March and May.
