St. Lawrence University - SLU Speciality : Economics
programme: Economics and Business

The first reason why I chose St. Lawrence University is because of the student to teacher ratio which is 11:1. It is amazing to be taught in a class which often has less than 20 students. This allows students to get better help from Professors before/during/after class.
If you are an international student or went to United World College (such as me), the University often offers very good scholarships and help you integrate the University.
If you like the outdoors, St. Lawrence University is perfect for you. The university is located in Northern New York and offers lots of different trips. As well, the ski mountain White Face is only 2 hours away by car.
The alumni network of St.Lawrence University is the 3rd best in the United States which is a great benefit for career prospects, for example, lots of economics and business majors are hired by alumni after graduation.
Also, the variety of semester abroad that the University offers is great and I personally only heard praises from returning students.
