[quote=Anonymous]I've taught in universities in the UK and the US. I would approach this question thoughtfully. One of the reasons I returned to the US was that I didn't want my kid going through the British system. Universities outside the US require students to specialize in a particular field from the outset. You can have combo majors, usually in closely related subjects. Exploring outside of your major field is tricky. I really valued my university experience, where I took courses in architecture, history, astronomy and religion, despite being a social science major. These opportunities were unavailable to my UK university students. Since most kids in the US change majors, I'd consider this carefully. You'll also want to think about whether a US employer will recognize the quality of a University of Manchester degree.[/quote]
