Best University for Geography

<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>I’m a 16 year old British student and i’m thinking about applying to the US to study Geography, however, It has been hard finding league tables or info about which Universities in the US are the best for undergrad Geography. I know Berkley is great but can anyone else suggest some universities?</p>

<p>Many thanks!</p>

<p>According to QS, Berkeley is indeed the best in the US for geography. But why not save the money and just stay in the UK? According to the same subject ranking table, UK schools lead the pack for geography anyways. </p>

<ol>
<li>University of Oxford</li>
<li>University of Cambridge</li>
<li>London School of Economics</li>
<li>University of California Berkeley</li>
<li>Durham University</li>
<li>UCLA</li>
<li>UCL</li>
<li>Australian National</li>
<li>University of Singapore</li>
<li>University of Manchester

</ol>

<p>US News table is a little different, but approximately the same. [World’s</a> Best Universities in Geography and Area Studies; Top Geography Schools | US News](<a href=“http://www.usnews.com/education/worlds-best-universities-rankings/best-universities-geography-and-area-studies]World’s”>http://www.usnews.com/education/worlds-best-universities-rankings/best-universities-geography-and-area-studies)</p>

<p>A US undergrad degree will cost you approximately $50 K a year. Not really worth it for geography, imho, especially when you consider that UK schools lead the pack for geography.</p>
