Why a US university?

'Uni in the USA' paints a great picture of student life outside of the UK

University beyond the USA Exploring universities in the USA gives you an extra chance of getting to a top-ranking university, but once you start looking at what is on offer over the Atlantic you will realise how much damage years of financial deprivation have done to UK undergraduate courses.

At any of the better US universities you should expect to get 18 hours a week of lectures and tutorials, to have them quickly marked and returned to you, and to find that you are frequently in conversation with the first-rate intellectuals who are teaching you.

And if you want to keep your education broad, and are not ready to narrow your range of subjects or to declare yourself set on a firm career path, American liberal arts degree courses may have a particular attraction for you.

Choice - diversity - great teaching - fantastic opportunities - stand-out from the crowd

About Uni In The USA...

Uni in the USA... is written by students, with the help of fellow exiles at the top two dozen US universities and supported by the teams at The Good Schools Guide and Good Schools Guide International. It

describes with great clarity and humour the experiences that you should expect if you venture overseas
the qualities of the universities that you might consider
answers all the questions that you might have about the American university system: who to see, what to ask and when to do it by. With additional information on those beyond the USA.

Anthony Nemecek, director of the educational advisory service of the US-UK Fulbright Commission, contributes to the general advice sections of the book, so that you can rely on it for accurate advice about all the hurdles which you need to leap to make it to the USA.

Thousands make it to overseas universities every year and, as Stephen Baldock (formerly High Master of St Paul's) says, he has known few, if any, pupils who have regretted it.
