Why Sturgeon Bay & Door County?
Door County is often called the “Cape Cod of the Midwest” – a peninsula surrounded by the crystal waters of Lake Michigan and Green Bay. Sturgeon Bay is its largest town, famous for sailing, historic lighthouses, sandy beaches, cherry orchards and legendary fish boils.
In your free time you can kayak along the shoreline, hike in Potawatomi State Park, cycle to local farm markets, watch sunsets over the water or jump on a ferry to Washington Island. Milwaukee and Chicago are within easy reach for weekend trips, and the welcoming small-town atmosphere makes it easy to meet locals and other international students.
