[quote=Anonymous][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.

That is so funny I spat my coffee. Manchester is an internationally recognized institution. The only "employer" in the US not able to recognize that is one not worth working for.[/quote]
