Where to go...

Postby Fresh8 on Tue Feb 21, 2006 6:09 pm

... if I were to study in the US for a year?

I've been looking into the study opportunities when it comes to going on a student exchange program. My uni is associated with the following US colleges:

- California State University
- Iowa State University
- Purdue University
- State University of New York at Stony Brook
- State University of New York at Plattsburgh
- University of Baltimore <-- Apparantly elite cause only 3 Law students from here allowed there per semester...
- University of California
- University of Illinois
- University of Massachusetts
- University of Richmond

I just wanted an opinion on which one I should consider out of the list above... I wanna start saving up for it now as well. When making a decision, I wanna know which area would be the safest and which one would be the best college to go to if I was studying Laws.

Thanks!

University of California at Irvine (Y)
Definitely safe here in white suburbia...
The pre-law classes (politcal science) classes are supposedly pretty decent here and we got a graduate law school here too

maybe you could elaborate for the American guys....what are you looking for in your uni experience....good weather? good academically? :? good party life? 8-) big city or small college town?

if I were you I would avoid colleges in the big cities, meaning avoiding Los Angeles, Baltimore, etc....one exception might be New York, which might be a good experience, but it's not something I would do....

UC-Irvine sounds good if that's an option, depending on which University of California it is....

good luck, if you go, I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun....

Looking for a good place to study but also to party at the same time! (Y)

I dunno.. I think I prefer the city rather than a small country town to tell you the truth. I hate it when it's quiet!

Bascially... anywhere thats friendly!

Sit , the thing is , City's aren't that friendly around here. Parties ,yes .Fights , yes. If you want a friendly place , I'd say Massachussets. Party , California... or New York.

Remember this .... City and Friendly don't go together.

Go to the University of Minnesota! It has a campus right in Minneapolis and it can be a party town and a quiet town. You can do both!

You really want to play against a 3rd string point guard? Hahah, oh well I'm sure he's experienced in filling water bottles up :)

Only when you go back to Moron Mountain.

A space jam joke? Haha are you serious? I wonder if you pulled that from encarta as well, whilst you were staying up looking up precedents and posting at a nba live forum :crazy:

Doobie's right...I love the city more than anything but if you want friendly go somewhere else.
