AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES By Jake Butler in Study in America


As unfortunately we already know, in 2012 the cost of attending university in the UK will rise to £9,000 a year for many students. After speaking to a group of current A-level students, we are expecting this heavy rise in tuition fees to lead to some British students seriously considering study abroad.


And this is not a light decision – embarking on a degree and attending a university in a foreign country can be quite daunting for any student, but at the same time of course it’s incredibly exciting!


Why America?


Last year just over 8,000 students from the UK enrolled at an American University, and this number is increasing year on year.


America is home to many of the world’s most respected universities, including the likes of Harvard, MIT, Stanford. They are therefore also some of the most sought after for students wanting to study abroad, making them incredibly competitive in certain subjects.


However a lot of the decision making depends on what you’re looking to get out of studying in America. There are also many US universities and colleges which are not always well known but do off er great


education programmes as well as a valuble wider student experience. It may be that something as simple as location attracts you to one university over another.


There are many factors to consider, and we’re not going to try to second guess them here. Rather, our job is to provide you with all the core information you’re looking for to help you make the right decision for you.
