Why Cape May?
Cape May is a postcard-perfect Victorian beach town at the very southern tip of New Jersey, famous for its colourful gingerbread houses, wide sandy beaches, lighthouse, and legendary sunsets at Sunset Beach. The town is compact and walkable or easily explored by bike, so getting to work and to the beach is simple. Weekend trips are easy too: Atlantic City is about an hour away, Philadelphia around two hours, and New York City and Washington, D.C. are within reach for longer breaks. Every summer, Cape May welcomes hundreds of international students, so you’ll quickly build a global circle of friends.
