From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, it’s like a home away from home; you will have the best summer. Everyone hears about the horror stories of arriving to the States with no accommodation or only a hostel to stay in, ending up sharing a dodgy apartment with 13 other people. Honestly, why bother. J1Accom cut out so much stress and worry for myself and the two friends who travelled with me.
Writing and reminiscing about this Summer in Chicago is no easy task, because it only drills home the fact that the Summer of a lifetime is getting further and further in the rear-view mirror. A J1 in Chicago is one of the best experiences you’ll ever have, and if you really want to guarantee that, J1Accom should be the first call you make.
My summer in New York City was a story of personal growth and exploration. I found independence, cultivated friendships, and embraced the diversity of one of the world’s greatest cities. It was a season of spontaneity and adventure, where the unexpected became cherished memories, and every corner of the city held a new adventure.
New York City, the city that never sleeps, beckoned me for a summer adventure as a solo traveller. With a mix of excitement and apprehension, I embarked on a journey that would redefine my understanding of independence, friendship, and the power of exploration.
My summer in Chicago completely surpassed my expectations thanks to J1Accom. When we decided to stay here it felt like a weight off our shoulders as we’d heard of so many people being scammed by landlords and there was literally nowhere willing to take students short term.
