Why York is a Great Place to Study Language
The city of York, Pennsylvania offers limited options for students interested in preparing for a career in foreign language. The city is small and not very culturally diverse. Only 4% of the population in York was born outside the United States. This number is expected to increase at a very slow rate in the coming years. Internships and volunteer opportunities can be difficult to find. The same is true for employment. Students may need to travel to nearby towns, such as Lancaster and Harrisburg for these opportunities. Many people living in the area work in these cities, particularly Harrisburg.
