[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Might be an unpopular suggestion, but sequestered away from the middle east and its spillover issues is not the route to getting a good career in the region. I'd suggest a top student interested in this field to go to the UK and study at Oxford(!!!) or Cambridge. You will get much further. If staying in the US, Georgetown is where it's at. Yale and Berkeley are also spectacular.[/quote] But the problem with Oxbridge is that if you have studied a Middle Eastern language in high school, you start from scratch anyhow. Your first year is then a total waste of time. SOAS will at least place you in a more advanced Arabic course to start (but no colloquial). Of course, all American schools will do that automatically…[/quote] I'm sure intro Arabic at Oxbridge isn't exactly easy, even if you have studied the language.[/quote]
