What are the benefits of studying in the United States? What
are the precautions? How Much Does It Cost to Study in the United States? …
When you think about studying in the United States, many questions will come
up. This time, I will tell you about studying in the United States, so please
read it if you are thinking of studying abroad.
4 Features and Benefits of Studying in the United States
Merit 1: Learn American English at home
The first benefit is that you can learn American English at
home. English is a universal language, but there are dialects in
English-speaking countries, and it sounds different in American English than in
British English and Australian English. For example, can't sounds like
"can't" in American English and "Karnt" in British English.
There are multiple pronunciations for a word, and remembering them all at once
can be a daunting task, even for those who want to learn a variety of dialects.
So, first of all, please study abroad in the United States and study authentic
American English. Now that you're used to American English, it's a good idea to
learn how to pronounce in other countries, such as British English.
Merit 2: You can learn in an environment where you can easily come into
contact with all cultures and values.
America is a country with a rich international flavor that
can be called a racial salad bowl. Originally, it accepted an unlimited number
of foreigners as immigrants, probably because it was founded by immigrants from
England. Therefore, by studying abroad in the United States, where people from
various countries gather and people with diverse backbones gather, you can come
into contact with cultures and values that you do not yet know. In order to
communicate with foreigners, it is important to know not only the ability to
handle languages but also culture and values, and studying in the United
States can be said to be an environment where it is easy to cultivate such a
background. In addition, the merit of being exposed to diverse cultures and
values is not only that it makes it easier to communicate with foreigners.
You can get to know ideas that you have never thought of before, and you may be
able to expand your own way of thinking.
Merit 3: There are many choices for the school to go to
There are many schools in the United States. According to
the Carnegie Higher Education Institutions classification, there are 4,324
universities in the United States as of 2018, including colleges as well as
universities. As of 2018, the total number of Japanese universities, junior
colleges, and colleges of technology is 1,170. There are about four times as
many schools in the United States as in Japan by simple calculation. The United
States has a larger land area and a larger population than Japan, but even so,
it is about four times as many. Due to the large number of schools, there is an
advantage in expanding the choices of schools, faculties and majors when
studying abroad. By the way, regarding the total population, as of 2017, the
total population of the United States is about 2.5 times that of Japan.
Merit 4: You can study in the United States, which is globally advanced in
terms of academic ability and business.

has many high academic ability schools in the world. According to the World
University Rankings 2020 of Times Higher Education , a British higher education
magazine, seven of the top ten in the World University Rankings are American
universities. By the way, the University of Tokyo is ranked 36th and Kyoto
University is ranked 65th.

business. Among the many companies in the world, most of them are American
companies in descending order of market capitalization. Also, as of 2018, eight
of the top ten are American companies.
