All the sophomores and juniors at AISJ are on their way to a new beginning, a journey awaited. However, when it comes to choosing a country and a university to spend the most crucial years of your life in, one has to consider all aspects. Here is an overview of some countries and their universities to give you a brief idea about them:
United States of America
The US is one of the leading hegemonic countries in the world. Conventionally, it is home to most of the universities that lie in the World’s Top 100 University Rankings as a result of its excellent schooling system. Americans also enjoy a fun and exciting life due to the extremely culturally-accepting environment. The Ivy League Schools, as most of us know, are some of the finest universities in the world. However, they are not easy to get into, nor are any undergraduate degree schools in the country. Also, the tuition is pricey and scholarships are limited, which makes the US not fit into the budget of many people. But if you want top-quality education, the US is a place for you.
