Hi I’m currently studying in Manchester in the UK but have the opportunity to do a year studying abroad in my third year. The three US univeristies I’ve narrowed it down to out those Manchester has exchange programmes with (other than Berkley which I have a very very slim chance of getting into) are the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Rutgers New Brunswick and Umass Amherst. Just wandering which one out of these three anyone would recommend, my fees will be the same for each so other than cost of living the money is not an issue. Coming from Manchester which is quite a large and lively city, I am concerned at the size of these college towns and whether there is plenty of stuff to do in and around the towns.
UIUC, Rutgers, and UMass, you mean (there’s another college that is called “Amherst”).
Rutgers is besides NYC.
What are you looking for from study-abroad? What subject?
