Should I apply to UK schools?

<p>Hey, everybody!</p>

<p>I'm a senior living in Illinois looking at colleges. I hope to go into international relations or political science, and probably graduate school for law. My top choices as of now are Northwestern and Georgetown, but a recent discussion with a friend got me wondering if I should apply to a few schools in the UK. I was hoping to know some of the advantages and disadvantages of receiving an undergraduate degree at a quality school in the UK (I was looking at the London School of Economics and Political Science, I'm not sure what other universities across the pond are good for IR and political science). I've taken four AP classes and done well in all of them, and am completing another seven this year. Are the universities more difficult, will it be harder to find a job in the US (although I'd be willing to stay in the UK if I found quality work there), etc. Thanks!!</p>

<p>There’s a website called Study Across the Pond that has a lot of info for students considering doing higher education in the UK. Might want to check it out!</p>

<p>Their applications don’t take as long as U.S school applications, so go for it! Only thing is to check everything financially.</p>
