Living in the UK?

[Navin]

What's it like? I'm not sure whether I should apply there or not. My dad attended Imperial College but I don't think that's for me since I'm not going into sciences.

What do you guys suggest? UK or USA?

90% of my family is in America
but only 3% in the UK

:?: :?: :?:

Oh BTW I'm talking about colleges :?

Where are you now? Personally, I think living in another country is a good thing. I spent some time in Wales (my father's country) and loved it.

There are very good colleges in both UK and U.S. If I were you, I'd do some research.

And good luck! There's no "right" decision.

What puts me off about the UK is that if you suddenly decide you don't really want to major in what you're majoring in, you can't switch. US colleges are way more flexible.

As for totally changing the course as long as you have put in the effort for the first year then there is usually no problem in changing course after the first year.

Hope this helps :)

I mean subject-wise not degree-wise... if I go to the UK, I won't be able to have an undecided major in my freshman year.... or even do a little bit of everything.

As for living in many different countries, I have & will be doing that all my life :D Even if I don't go to the UK for college right now, someday I'll go and live there for at least a few years.

Thanks Kieran :)
