The British Virgin Islands consist of an archipelago of sixty Caribbean islands. The several largest of these are home to the majority of the territory’s 28,000 citizens, living in small towns and villages, while most of the smaller islands sprawled across the seascape remain uninhabited. The British Virgin Islands lay just a few miles due east of the US Virgin Islands and are bordered to the north by the Atlantic ocean.
The largest of the British Virgin Islands is Tortola, which is only 12 miles long and 3 miles wide. Tortola is home to over 80% of the local population, making it by far the most popular destination where to study abroad in the British Virgin Islands. Road Town, the capital and largest settlement in the territories, is also located on Tortola. H. Lavity Stoutt Community College, the country’s sole institution of higher education, is situated on the main island as well.
Other destinations where you can potentially study abroad in the British Virgin Islands include the other “major” islands of Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke, and Anegada. These islands all have very small populations, but nevertheless feature opportunities to study abroad within a variety of specialty programs.
