I want to work in Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago. Can I work in big cities? It is one of the most frequently asked questions by students who want to participate in the Work and Travel program.

   In fact, students who will participate in the Work and Travel program have the right to work anywhere in America. However, sponsors are generally not very keen on hiring students in big cities. Cost of living and high rental fees are among the main reasons for this. In big cities, there is not a very healthy environment for students to save money. This will make the travel part quite difficult. Another reason is the security problem in big cities. The strict rule of the Work and Travel program is to ensure the safety of the participant and to maintain this safe environment until the end of the program. Therefore, it is difficult for students to work in cities and jobs that the sponsor does not approve of.

  In addition, since in cities such as Miami and Los Angeles, more Spanish is spoken than English in daily life, these are the regions where Work and Travel students are very rare.
