<p>I don't want to limit myself to purely American colleges, since I'm sure there are tons of good colleges world wide also. I mean, no body ever talks about Canadian colleges, and the only British college I know of is Oxford.
To my understanding British colleges are a lot more like American graduate schools, so I guess they run on a different system.
ANYWAY, does anyone know about international colleges? Some good ones? (Maybe not as good as Oxford!)</p>
<p>British Universities run under a system that requires a more specialised study of a subject. For the whole duration of the degree the person studies one subject and generaly does not take other classes outside of this subject. Americans ussualy study a mix in the first years and then specialise in the final ones. You have to decide what you want to study before begining. Regarding unis outside the USA it really depends on what languages you speak. If you are monolingual then you should look at unis in the UK, Ireland, Australian and Canada.</p>
<p>You can look at a few of my pastposts that discuss unis in other countries. If you have an interest in education in any county send me a message and I will give you some ideas if I know about their system. </p>
<p>Also check out the rankings of world universities. I do not agree with some of them but they give you an idea of the good unis around the world:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.thes.co.uk/worldrankings/%5B/url%5D">http://www.thes.co.uk/worldrankings/</a></p>
<p>The second ranking is better in my opinion.</p>
<p>I am mainly looking for colleges taught in English, but I should be good enough at Japanese to go to a Japanese University.
Thanks for the links.</p>
