University of North Carolina, Greensboro (UNCG)

If you are not mathematically inclined -stay away from Econometrics, I struggled! Otherwise, courses were comparable to those in Britain, although there was far less essay writing, and multiple choice sections in the exams (a rare treat in the UK!) Classes were far smaller, so there was far more student interaction which made the topics more interesting and it easier to get to know other students and to form study and social groups with them.

I felt that the lack of essay writing left me a bit behind when I came back to the UK and was faced with writing a 12,000 word dissertation! Because it hadn't been required of me in the US, my researching and report writing skills were not quite as sharp as they might have been with a bit more practice.

The marketing courses there are the best I have ever experienced! The professors could not be more helpful. International Marketing is a very challenging, but VERY interseting and useful elective.

I think the course over there is amazing. I can hardly think of improvements - maybe just more information on courses when picking from your home university.
