United States and United Kingdom, both are the top study abroad destination for centuries. These two countries have always dominated the world of education. Most ancient educational institutes can be found in these countries. Most of the research work of today in every possible field is done by these two countries. Both countries have universities that no other institute even come close to. If you see the list of top 100 universities of world, most of them are in United States or United Kingdom.

	Some ranking organizations rank America the best country with higher education and some are in the favor of United Kingdom. Of all these organizations, most prominent are&nbsp;Times Higher Education&nbsp;and&nbsp;QS&nbsp;and both have different opinions on best country for higher education. In today&rsquo;s article I have brought solution to this confusion. In this article, you will see a comparative analysis of USA and UK as study abroad destinations.

	Student Work</h2>

	&nbsp;

	When it comes to work. Both countries allow international students to work part time while continuing their studies. Both, USA and UK, have almost policies when it comes to the jobs of international students. They know that most of the students can&rsquo;t afford studying in a foreign country without a job. So, in order to attract more potentials students they are lenient on this phase.

	1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; You can work up to 20 hours per week when school is in session.

	2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; You can work full-time on campus during holidays and vacations if you intend to register for the next academic semester.

<h2>
	Conclusion USA vs. UK to Study Abroad:</h2>

	Both countries are great for education. Now which country you should choose as your study abroad destination mostly depends on you after reading this article. I am here going to summarize a few details for you.

	Both countries almost cost same to study. Both countries have great higher education system. Both countries degrees are worldwide respected. Both countries allow internationals students to work. Both have a lot of achievements.

	If you are planning to reside permanently then United Kingdom is definitely not for you. Recently UK has made their policies strict because almost all of the students who went to UK gained permanent residency and stayed there. Now, they won&rsquo;t allow many students to stay there.

	However, I am not a big fan of America since the Trump came to rule. They have been very strict with foreigners and we never know when Trump might ask Muslims to leave. Still racism ratio in UK and USA is also almost same.&nbsp;
