It's not really worth getting into a debate over this because I know everyone has their own experiences. Doing degrees in the UK is great for people who want to teach in the UK. For someone like me, doing linguistic anthropology, it doesn't make sense to stay. Not to mention the profound dissatisfaction me and everyone in my cohort has felt with the structure and teaching in our program. UK professors generally don't put much effort into teaching WELL -- they prefer to read out pre-written scripts, shy away from interactive techniques, and are generally checked out in seminars. They don't feel the need to invest in master's students because they are focused on their own work and possibly advising their PhD students. It's a completely different experience from studying in the US, which I'm sure you would agree with. Since someone started this thread with the intention of hearing people's experiences about differences in US/UK degrees, I felt compelled to share my thoughts because I wish someone would have done the same for me.
