The
TCNJ Center for Global Engagement and
Edge Hill University, have partnered to offer a semester-long program for TCNJ students Ormskirk, England which is near the metropolitan Liverpool. Students will be able to experience a semester abroad in the smaller market town of Ormskirk and have the larger more bustling cities of Liverpool and Manchester in your backyard!
Location
Ormskirk is a diverse market town situated near Liverpool and Manchester, two larger cities, with a range of activities and sights to see. Within the town of Ormkirk students are able to visit a multitude of shops, boutiques and restaurants in order to enhance their study abroad experience.
Northwest England cities like Liverpool and Manchester, which are both home to very strong football culture, are great places for a weekend away trip for students to attend a football (soccer) game! Seeing the cultural history and architecture present in Liverpool and Manchester is also a must for all students who are participating on this program!
