Frequently asked questions

Before you combine.

When do combo programs run?

Combo programs run from June 21 to August 15, 2027, with Monday arrivals. Each route depends on the operating dates and availability of both campuses, so not every route is available throughout this period. We’ll confirm your campus sequence and travel dates in your proposal.

How long can I stay in each city?

You can mix and match. The most common combinations are 1 week + 1 week, 1 week + 2 weeks, 2 weeks + 1 week and 2 weeks + 2 weeks. Tell us your dates and we’ll check what works with both campuses.

Can individual students book a combo?

Yes. Combo programs are open to individual students as well as groups, agencies and schools.

What ages can join?

Students aged 12–20.

Which New York campus is included?

The published routes start at St. John’s University in Queens. If you prefer Stevens or Fordham University at Lincoln Center, ask our team whether an alternative can work with your dates and length of stay. Your campus is confirmed in the proposal.

Is travel between cities included?

Private bus transfers between cities are included in the New York + Boston and New York + Niagara Falls + Boston routes. Airfare is not included for New York + Miami or New York + Los Angeles. YES USA does not arrange flights.

Can I combine cities without New York, or more than two?

Tell us the destinations, dates and details you have in mind and we’ll discuss whether a custom combination is possible. Campus availability, travel arrangements and the full program are confirmed before booking.

How do lessons fit into the journey?

We do our best to keep 15 hours of General English per week. Because travel days and campus dates vary, the exact hours depend on your arrangement, and we’ll confirm them as soon as we receive your dates.

Are combo programs the same as optional trips?

No. Combo programs connect campus stays in different destinations. Optional trips are separate experiences linked to a city or program, such as an additional excursion. Your proposal shows exactly what your route includes.

What will the proposal include?

Your dates and campuses, accommodation, meals, English hours, excursions and travel between cities, so you have everything in one place before making travel plans.
