Now that you have decided to get a Ph.D. and you have also decided to get that degree abroad, the next question is which country better suits your study needs. This article will outline some important reasons why the USA should be a destination of choice for your Ph.D. study.
FUNDING IS ALMOST ALWAYS GUARANTEED: unlike studying in Europe or the UK, getting your Ph.D. in the US provide better funding options.

Funding includes a tuition waiver and stipends for living expenses.
APPLICATION WITHOUT THESIS SUBJECT: While applying for a Ph.D. program, most universities in Europe or in the UK require you to apply with a thesis subject, the USA however does not. The US Ph.D. program is structured in a way that you can apply without a thesis subject which allows you more time to get familiar with options available to you during your course of study so as to make well-informed choices.
Ph.D. STUDENTS AS PART OF UNIVERSITY STAFF: As a Ph.D. student in the US, you are not regarded as just any other student. Structurally, the students in the US are seen as part of the university staff, they work as teaching and research assistants as part of their responsibilities as Ph.D. students. The USA, therefore, poses as a better option for working in these capacities.
FLEXIBLE PROFESSORS: The U.S boasts of the most flexible in-house professors who are more likely to listen to a student than any other part of the world. This means that should a student decide to change his or her course, thesis or research, these professors have an open-door policy that allows communication and fosters close relationships.
WORLD-CLASS UNIVERSITY RANKING: U.S. schools rank among half of the world top ten schools; as a result, getting a degree in the U.S begets a prestigious status. A lot of the best schools to study are in the U.S and so the U.S boasts of quality education.
WIDESPREAD OPPORTUNITIES: the USA has over four thousand schools, fifty states, and six time-zones, it offers a variety of options in terms of connections and opportunities. From the diversity of cultures to a range of economically competitive organizations, whatever your specialty, be sure that the USA can accommodate it.
LENGTH OF COURSE: The U.S has a longer course duration; this helps you get used to the environment, fit in as well as you want to, weigh your career options and even adjust and plan to stay permanently should you desire to.
INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY: The U.S is, of course, a destination of choice for many international applicants. This means that there is an already thriving International community in place so you do not have a problem adjusting as you are most likely to find a community of your countrymen waiting to help you through your adjustment period; people who literally show you the ropes.
All these and more make the U.S a rewarding place to do your Ph.D. program.
