Study in USA Vs UK - Which is Better?

Even though they speak the same language, higher education in the UK and the USA differs greatly from one another. Numerous factors need to be taken into account, including the price and length of the course, etcetera.

If you’re a little unsure about your major or want to experiment for a year or two, then the USA is probably the better option. The reason being:
Course Major
  • US- In the United States, students normally are not required to declare their major until the end of their second (sophomore) year.
  • UK- The UK, on the other hand, requires students to choose their major before they even arrive on campus.

The length of courses is one of the most obvious differences between studying in the UK and the USA. For all levels of higher education, the UK almost exclusively offers shorter courses than its American counterparts.

Methodology
The USA system still uses plenty of lectures, but these might be incorporated much more with smaller seminars or workshops than you would normally find in the UK as universities in the UK are typically lecture-based.

Stay longer in the UK after the course is over
Unlike the US, where students can be in the country for only 2 months to reapply; after recent changes, international students are eligible to remain in the UK and work for up to two years.

The UK and the USA are very different countries in terms of their culture and what they have to offer.
Culture and variety
  • US- The USA is a diverse country, both in terms of its climate and its people.
  • UK- Although the UK has beautiful beaches and coastline, as well as incredible cities, it offers less variety.
