Synopsis

With UK fees skyrocketing, and competition for places at Oxford, Cambridge and other top British universities tougher than ever, Uni in the USA is a must-read for anyone thinking of studying across the pond. Uni in the USA is the definitive guide to US universities for British students, containing reviews of over 65 selected universities. This book walks you through universities from Harvard to Stanford and tells you how to choose, how to apply and how to pay. The down-to-earth and often hilarious reviews could only have been written by British students interviewing other students - one even couch-surfing and crisscrossing the US by Greyhound bus, talking to students at universities across the country, and writing spot-on reviews as he went. Uni in the USA takes readers through the application process, step by step, and gives insider info on getting in, scholarships, fellow students, best dormitories and campus bars, life on campus and off. In short, what it's really like to be there.

From the Inside Flap

Once you’ve seen what’ on offer in America, you may never look at a UCAS form again.
Compare the quality of teaching, the quantity of teaching too, the facilities, the range of institutions and courses. Take a wondering look at the breadth of a Liberal Arts degree. See what you get for your time and money in the USA.
Many of the world’s best universities are there – seven out of the top ten, and another 48 that rank above Newcastle (as ranked in the Times Higher Educational Supplement of 5th November 2004). Seriously well-funded universities which may well bear some – perhaps all – of the cost of your degree.
Open your eyes to the opportunities.
