How to choose to apply for studying in the UK and the United States

In terms of life, the living habits of Americans are closer to those of Chinese. Academically, the two countries have their own advantages, if you pay close attention to world current affairs and hope that the knowledge you have learned can be applied as soon as possible, then maybe the United States is a good choice for you; If you like to think quietly and want to study some purely theoretical issues away from the hustle and bustle of the world, then perhaps the UK is a better choice.

You can do this through this study abroad locator system.

Give yourself a positioning, the system will automatically match the cases of classmates in the database who are similar to yours, you can see which schools they have applied to, and you can also have a rough positioning based on your own situation.

The UK and the US have their own good, and the comparison is as follows:

1. Education level: The level of famous universities in the United Kingdom and the United States is actually not comparable, but the general universities, such as the 10-20 in the United Kingdom and the 50-100 in the United States, are far better than the United Kingdom.

In addition, schools in the UK are dominated by public schools, similar to the situation in Chinese universities, where resources are mostly concentrated in a small number of schools. In the United States, most of the teachers are private and state, and the quality of teachers is almost the same, and the difference in rankings is mainly due to the difference in size and style.

2. Cost of living: Food, clothing and housing in the UK are relatively expensive, and you can generally take public transportation. However, due to the inconvenient transportation in the United States, if you want to buy a car, the cost of the two is about the same.

3. Employment: There are more job opportunities in the United States, and the income is relatively high. In addition, the United States is relatively friendly to foreigners, and its immigration policy is relatively relaxed.

Immigration to the UK is more difficult. Basically, if you want to graduate from science and engineering, you can stay in the United States, and if you work hard in other majors, it is possible. In the UK, there is generally only a computer major, which is somewhat possible.

4. Food: In terms of food, the United States is also a complete victory, although it is not as good as in China, but the overall is okay. And because there are a lot of foreign immigrants in the United States, the diet there is more diverse and cheaper.

5. Social aspect: In the social aspect, as long as you pass the English test in the United States, you are willing, and it is easy to make friends, especially in California, especially in the American circle, and they are also more friendly to foreigners who do not speak well. Because of this, English will improve faster in the United States.

And the UK is difficult to integrate unless you come to study abroad in high school.

6. Transportation: However, in terms of transportation, the United Kingdom wins. Because the urban density in the UK is relatively high, public transportation is more developed, and black taxis in the UK are cheap when they are waving, so British students generally do not have to buy a car.

In the United States, there are cars all over the world, cars, gasoline, and parking are not expensive, and the transportation is more convenient except for Los Angeles.

7. Dress: As mentioned earlier, British people are generally more fashionable and will pay attention to appearance and dressing, so British students are usually more fashionable. American students, on the other hand, are more casual, usually T-shirts, sweatshirts, and jeans.

In addition, Americans have a lot of overweight people, which also leads to their lack of fashion, so the taste of Chinese students in the United States will not improve much.

8. Entertainment: Since British schools are mostly concentrated in cities, and American schools are mostly concentrated in rural areas, British cultural activities are relatively rich. In addition, the UK is small, so it is easy to go to other places.

In the United States, schools are more scattered and it is not very safe to go outside at night, so there is very little nightlife in the United States. In addition, there are many elite entertainment methods in the UK, such as opera, ** drama and drama.
