Where should i study abroad?

Roxane Leathers: I'm from the UK, and I studied abroad in California and France. The experience you have in other countries is completely different. My sister is at university in Leicester and it is nothing like the "normal college experience in the US". The drinking age is 18, for starters. Teaching is very different. In the UK you're expected to do a lot more work on your own but this is usually research. You don't have quizzes or midterms. Often all your exams are at the end of the year and you follow the same courses right from September through to May. Student life is also pretty different. It centers around the Students' Union which has a bar, clubs and societies and elected officials. You can get all kinds of clubs and societies ranging from Rowing Team (Crew) to the Cocktails Appreciation Society (yes, my uni really has that). Cambridge and Oxford of course have the best reputations of all the schools in the UK which is why they're the most expensive. University o! f Leicester also has an okay reputation. The main difference is really the cities. Oxford and Cambridge are situated in beautiful old cities, historic buildings and on rivers. Leicester isn't. My sister really likes it but in a sort of ironic way. She once referred to it as "full of Midlandsy grimness". It's up to you and you should do more research on the internet but personally I would choose one of the more historic universities. They will also look great on your resume. Either way, it will be nothing like college in the US, and plus, you'll have excellent transport links to London and the rest of Europe so you'll get a lot of traveling done if you pick England.I've never been to Egypt or Australia but I do have a friend who lived in Cairo for a year and she absolutely loved it. She said it's beautiful and fascinating and you get to go out into the desert and see the pyramids. Transport to Europe would be more expensive (general rule, if you're interested in European tra! vel - if Ryanair flies there you can go to anywhere else Ryana! ir flies really cheaply, like $20 each way). That wasn't the most thorough answer but I hope it gave you some food for thought. Good luck with your study abroad, you will have a great time!...Show more

Lou Ravelo: Studying overseas is ordinarily the fine factor you might do. Traveling to different nations is excellent, however you aren't getting an absolute think of the tradition and society untill you reside there for a minimum of 1 / 4. You will be taught such a lot approximately special cultures and approaches of lifestyles. It will rather difference your lifestyles. You will see America in a entire new gentle. You will rather revel in an additional nation and immersed in it. You would possibly not be watching at it like a traveler, who sees it as though he was once on the zoo looking. You shall be dwelling it, and finding out such a lot....Show more
