Is it worth going to the University of Westminster?

Question

I want to be a lawyer but I am going to major in Psych in college. I am from America and I have always wanted to live in London, so I though going to college there would be good. What i want to know is can i get into a good law school in America after graduating from the University of Westminster? How long does it take, and how much it will cost? Also is it difficult to get into?

What GPA and SAT/ACT scores are necessary?

Does it offer housing, if so how much does it cost?

Answer 1

The University of Westminster, hmm... It's got a great rep for its fashion design program, but its focus seems to be a bit more on career preparation than what a good US law school would probably want from a liberal arts graduate.

It's not one of the top of the top universities in the UK, no.

It's not a horribly bad school, it simply has more of a career focus. I'm not sure it's a good fit with your goals. Continue doing your research.

If you want a very strong school in London, instead look at the schools that fall under University of London. Some of those schools are among the best in the UK, if not in Europe. Some links are below.

Undergraduate degrees in the UK take three years to complete. Note that, because kids in the UK start school a year before those in the US do, their universities tend to require special things from US applicants. All UK universities have special pages on their website for international applicants which explain what you need to do.

As for U Westminster, many of your specific questions are answered on their web pages, and I've linked to the most important one, below. They also have a rep in the US, and their phone number is in the attached. I've also attached a link to another person's Yahoo Answer on a similar subject. Lastly, I've attached a link to University of London.
