<p>hi, i am a graduated senior in US. I receive an offer from UCL recently and am struggling with these two options.</p>

<p>Vanderbilt:
Major Undecided(but I like Econ and political science)
Advantages: major and course more flexible, can choose two majors; US education more focus on liberal arts
Disadvantage: location(nashville ), not as well known as UCL, harder to find jobs</p>

<p>UCL
Major Economics
Ad: awesome location(london), 3 years graduated, tuition cheaper than US, high world ranking
Dis: UK education is a bit too narrow</p>

<p>I am pretty much decided to study Econ or political science related subjects in school. But I also concern about both liberal education and jobs. Vandy has a better liberal education and UCL has a better job future so I am really struggling with choosing which. </p>

<p>Please give me some advice, thx!</p>

<p>If your concern is being unable to find a job I don’t think you should be worrying. Looking at the online postings, I see a wide variety of opportunities, from congressional aides, to management consulting, banking, marketing, etc.</p>

<p>On the job aspect, if you want to get a job after you graduate, you won’t have too difficult of a time getting one.</p>

<p>These were the top hiring firms for Vanderbilt according to surveys from 2010-2012. 58% of all graduating seniors responded.</p>

<p>Firms that most often hire graduates:
Teach for America
Deloitte Consulting
Huron Consulting Group
Bank of America Merrill Lynch
Vanderbilt University and Medical Center
Epic Systems Corporation
Bain and Company
Goldman Sachs & Co.
Powerplan Consulting</p>

<p>Looks pretty good to me.</p>
