<p>I live un the UK and I am a stranger to US Education however I am applying to study my degree in Law over there. I am kinda stuck for place to live when I get there, are there colleges that accomodate students for their first year until I get settled?</p>
<p>In case no one has told you, law in the US is a post-graduate program. You have to have degree from college before you can go to law school.</p>
<p>Thats what I've been getting mixed up about.I want to apply to study law from British A-Levels, I thought it was just like Britain where you go from A-Levels to a degree then onto postgraduate study.In Britain we call college where you get a degree university aka law school.</p>
<p>You first have to get a bachelor's degree, which generally takes four years after you graduate a secondary (high) school although it can be less. Then you go to law school. So most of students in law school are at least 21/22 years old when they begin.</p>
<p>Would I be accepted onto a bachelor's degree with 3 A-Levels?</p>
<p>Are you asking whether you would be accepted into an American college or university with three A-levels? I don't know, but there are 1000s of postsecondary degree-granting institutions in this country so you wouldn't haven't any trouble finding one. It depends on where you want to be located, the size of the school, how much money you want to spend, and how important the prestige of the institution is to you.</p>
<p>Would an American college accept my British A-Levels?Ideally I listed the places I have contacted to study but I have now narrowed it down to a college in Boston.Preferebly a big school as I can imagine them to offer more (thats how it is in Britain anyway).I'm getting into the hang of how Americans organise their education but tell me, where in Boston would I find an intro course to allow me to become familiar with US laws?</p>
<p>I know that the school I'm going to (Carnegie Mellon) has a two day orientation for international students before the typical freshman orientation, presumably to provide information about US laws and customs. I don't know if you might find some information here, but some may be specific to my school, which is located in Pittsburgh.</p>
<p>What is it that you are hoping to study as an undergraduate? I believe that most schools that accept AP and IB credit may also grant A-Level credit, but it might be on a case by case basis if they don't have many international students.</p>
<p>P.S. Britain isn't boring. :)</p>
<p>CARNEGIE MELLON!What on earth is this?What a name..hahaha!This sounds perfect.By the way where is Pittburgh?It's obvious I aint opting for geography.And when is it?I'm looking to study Law and Justice</p>
<p>P.P.S. Then you haven't stayed long enough =)</p>
<p>I suggest you consider Boston University. It has very good law school placement.

<p>Carnegie Mellon University is in Pittsburgh... which is in Pennsylvania, I suppose one could say halfway between east coast and midwestern. That program is just for students attending that school, but I know there's some information in there that might be of help to you. Other schools may offer something similar.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if one can really study Law in the US as an undergraduate, because law is a graduate degree. Many people get their undergrad degrees in political science, engineering, English, and other random things before going to law school. (Ever see Legally Blonde? She's a fashion design major turned lawyer. Not what most students do, but it's possible.)</p>
<p>My A-Levels are: Law, Human Biology and Classic Civilisation.Would these be offered as an undergrad course?</p>
<p>Almost any college in the US will have a political science or history department where you can take a course in US Constitutional Law/History.</p>
<p>If you are interested in Boston there are a whole slew of colleges including women's colleges, catholic universities, and big schools like Boston University, and a branch of the state university. Boston is arguably the best college city in the US.</p>
<p>Thanks!I contacted Boston and they gave me some really useful info about studying Law and History..its really encouraged me to apply there.</p>
