I'm about to graduate this year from a University in the UK and instead of getting a job I've been looking into prolonging slacking and attending another University. I really fancy a year abroad in America for a new experience.
I am at law school and likely to come out with a 2:1 from a decent school (can do law as undergrad in UK) I am probably a B+ type student, with mostly As and Bs throughout High School. Luckily, money isn't much of an object (not due to poker uNLr
)
What I'm looking for is some advice/recommendations of some schools to look at. The choice in America is just overwhelming. However, I have a few criteria that I've narrowed down from weeks of internet searching:
-Good academic standard (nothing massive needed)
-Think I'd prefer a campus based university rather than one right in the middle of a big city
-Good social life (i like to drink, play soccer, go to gigs etc.)
-not in the south
Pretty basic stuff. The only university I've found that seems ideal is Dartmouth, but it seems extremely difficult to get into and the only reason I've heard about it is through popular culture.
Any advice would be seriously appreciated, I'll even ship $5 for anything I find extremely helpful. Cheers.
