<p>Glad to see other international students :D Hopefully you'll be able to help me out. </p>

<p>I just wanted to learn more about these colleges:</p>

<ul>
<li><p>John Cabot University in Rome: An American uni in my favorite country/city :) But sadly, most American universities abroad are not great academics wise (or at least that's what I've heard). I'd be glad to hear anything specific about JCU. </p></li>
<li><p>McGill University: Not much to say. Really interested.</p></li>
<li><p>College of William & Mary: I went to a MUN conference there. Amazing college, amazing IR program, and in Williamsburg (which is kind of bleh. I wish it was in a bigger city like Richmond...). Plus I think I might get instate tuition? Not too sure though. Any information would be helpful. If I have a permanent residency in VA, do I get instate tuition, even if I don't go to school there?</p></li>
<li><p>New York University: Does anyone know much about their Global Studies program?</p></li>
<li><p>Georgetown: Wow. I don't really know if I'd have the scores to get in but it's always been my number one choice for uni. Any general information would be welcome. </p></li>
<li><p>London School of Economics & Pol. Sci.: uh. Ditto about the scores thing for Georgetown. I know next to nothing about the British university system besides the fact that they have to do only 3 years and are much less flexible in terms of majors (as in you have to stick to one topic? not really too sure). Help!?</p></li>
<li><p>School of Oriental and African Studies: I don't know much about it...</p></li>
</ul>

<p>Majors i'm interested in: Political science, international relations, international law, Political science & Econ (together).</p>

<p>If you have permanent residency in Virginia, you should be classified as in state for tuition purposes for William and Mary.</p>

<p>Mcgill University is the most prestigious university in Canada and is well known internationally. It’s social sciences department is ranked quite high and the faculty is top-notch. The price is also very reasonable. Besides, Montreal is a great city full of culture. </p>

<p>Misc. Stuff: It was ranked one of the top 100 (no specific order) employers in Canada, which means the faculty satisfaction is probably very high and that, in my opinion, relates to a great learning environment.</p>

<p>Over at the Mcgill forum there’s a thread made by an alumni where you could ask questions if you’re interested.</p>

<p>Thanks! I’ve heard McGill accepts people strictly on statistics & numbers (grades, sat, etc.) rather than ECs and stuff like American colleges… is this true?</p>

6

<p>Canadian universities in general do not care much about ECs. Education is purely academical.</p>

<p>Any info on SLU Madrid or John Cabot University?</p>
