Should i go to university in America?

Question

I live in england but im pretty sure i would like to go uni in america. Any thoughts of where to go? Any advice from anyone from the UK who has done this? Pros and Cons?

Answer 1

Pepperdine University!! So-Cal, Ca, Malibu!!

Great school if your thinking about hitting up So-Cal!

Answer 2

There are many ways to choose where in the United States you would like to study;

- Acedemics, is there are particular school you wish to attend.

- Financial costs - some place are more expensive than others such as L.A., Florida and the New England States.

- Location. Do you want plenty of sun, maybe you like being near the mountains or next to the ocean.

Cons:

- Difficult set-up period. i.e. without a Social Security Number, credit history/rating. It will be difficult to find an apartment, get renters insurance etc.

- Expensive costs, $18,000 - $45,000 per year.

- Expensive medical insurance (this is a must).

Pros:

- More opportunities career wise and more money to be had in many areas.

- You get a lot more for your money in most parts of the county.

- And in my opinion, a better, more focused and flexible education system.

Answer 3

it would cost you a huge amount.

i know that much.

waay more than UK

Answer 4

I was actually thinking of doing this aswell, for the experience and whatnot

Answer 5

Depending what you want to have as a career who knows but in my case as i want to be a dentist (although this school is like top class) i suggest the UCLA in California, it's awesome! top class school im planning to get my grades up to get in that school.

Answer 6

Hey, I think England and USA are the same in the academic realm..

America has thousands of brilliant minds, it would be hard to study in a competitive environment... However, you gain friends which is good..

If you want to go to the US, go to MIT or Harvard.. the best of the bests

Otherwise, just stay..

Answer 7

why the **** would you want to do that mate? We have all the best uni's over here. Think of the red bricks!

Answer 8

Ok, I live in America. I think our schooling system is not the best. Colleges here are far expensive. If you go to a college in an overseas country and then come to America to work, you can get a job anywhere because they will look at you in a more superior and more intelligent way.

Answer 9

cons dont go no health care and ur away from ur mommy and daddy

pros you wont need ur parents for permission and stuff and u can go to parties with ur mom and dad to be suspious

Answer 10

You should definatly come and study in America.  There are good colleges here, and I'm currently studying at Darmouth.  I love it and I think all of the people here do.  I might study aboard in Europe, to experince something new, like you should.
