r1111 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 It depends on the university. All three countries are good but I would prefer living in Canada. However it is up to you. The subjects you take are fine for what you want to study. You have to check the specific university requirements however. Also some other criteria other than IB is considered in some places like some universities int USA will require a good SAT score. So maybe look at some specific universities you want to study in and even cities you want to study in. I hope that helps 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IEAFBC812 Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 I agree with r111, but I think you also have to consider the learning atmoshere you want to study in. Although it also depends on the specific Universities you want to apply for, I think that studying in the US and Canada you have much more freedom in your studies, because the couses are generally not as specialised as they are in the UK. This might not be the case for all of the universities in These countries, but even so it's something you have to make your mind up about. Hope this is helpful Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandwich Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Also consider ££££ cost to you as a student. The US and Canada may offer scholarships which the UK generally doesn't. Canada in particular has relatively low IB standards to start qualifying for academic scholarships, which obviously may tip the boat if you do have to think about money. 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
