<p>Yes I agree with swim’s response. I gave up studying econ at Cornell, UCB, UCLA, Northwestern, UCL for University of Warwick (UK) goign to major in economics, politics and international studies. Compare to the US, UK is very rigourous in what you study I have seen the classes and they are basically focus on ur major from Day 1 till you graduate. you might get optional modules that you can study but majority of your classes are major realted. Yes I choose UK so that I can have an international experience along with a very good undergraduate education. I believe the reason that people do not choose UK over US undergrad is the idea of the unknown. Since many people go to the US, they are familiar with the system. However if you know the UK system and really research what they have to offer is very demanding and can compete with teh Ivy’s. Many colleges in the UK (Oxbridge, LSE, UCL, Imperial, Warwick (I had to add that in since i’m going there)) can compete with the Ivy’s</p>
