Uni in the USA is a guide to universities around the world aimed at prospective students in the United Kingdom. The guide is a subsidiary of The Good Schools Guide, and is published in paperback by Galore Park.[https://web.archive.org/web/20120626144830/http://www.galorepark.co.uk/product/parents/2763/uni-in-the-usa-and-beyond.html Uni in the USA... and Beyond :: The Good Schools Guide :: Galore Park Educational Publishers] It is also available as an ebook and as a subscription on the guide's website.

The guide was first published in 2004 with only 25 university reviews, all written by British Harvard student Alice Fishburn.[https://archive.today/20130630131022/http://www.usapplicants.com/resources/books/7-uni-in-the-usa Uni In The USA – Books – Resources – USApplicants]{{cite web|url=https://www.fishpond.co.uk/Books/Uni-the-USA-Alice-Fishburn-Anthony-Nemecek/9780953265978 |title=Uni in the USA, Alice Fishburn Anthony Nemecek - Shop Online for Books in the United Kingdom |website=Fishpond.co.uk |access-date=2016-09-17}} Since then it has grown to include about 65 US universities and about 30 in other countries. The expanded edition was first published in paperback in 2012 as Uni in the USA... and Beyond, and contains forwards by the Fulbright Commission{{cite web|url=http://www.uniintheusa.com/how-why/why-the-usa/602/why-study-in-the-us |title=Why Study In The US | Scholarships For Studying Abroad | University In The USA |publisher=Uniintheusa.com |access-date=2012-11-12}}[https://archive.today/20130704004537/http://educationviews.org/why-study-in-the-us-could-be-a-bright-idea/ Why study in the US could be a bright idea | Education News] and by the headmaster of Wellington College,{{cite web|url=http://www.uniintheusa.com/how-why/why-the-usa/1432/encouragement-from-a-uk-headmaster |title=Why Study In The US | Scholarships For Studying Abroad | University In The USA |publisher=Uniintheusa.com |access-date=2012-11-12}} whose comments were noted by the Daily Telegraph and others.{{cite web|last=Paton |first=Graeme |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationnews/9306485/British-university-malaise-forcing-bright-students-to-US.html |title=British university 'malaise' forcing bright students to US |date=6 June 2012 |publisher=Telegraph |access-date=2016-09-17}}

Uni in the USA consists of reviews of universities. It also includes information on how to choose and apply to universities as a UK resident. The reviews are written by UK students.{{cite book|title=Uni in the USA: The Definitive UK Guide to the Universities in the USA (Good Schools Guide) |author1=Harriet Plyler |author2=Alice Fishburn |author3=Anthony Nemecek |author4=John Wallis |date=May 2012 |isbn=9781905735846 }} The guide also presents reference material for applying and paying for university in the United States from a British perspective. Unlike other guides to university, Uni in the USA is aimed at British students. Like the Good Schools Guide, Uni in the USA does not accept payment from any of the universities it reviews.

The guide was used by the Sutton Trust as part of their summer school program for helping British students apply to US universities.{{cite web|url=http://www.fulbright.org.uk/news-events/news/sutton-trust-us-summer-school-what-a-successful-start |title=Sutton Trust US Summer School - What a Successful Start! |publisher=Fulbright.org.uk |date=2012-07-07 |access-date=2012-11-12}}{{cite web|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/usukfulbright/7549017078/ |title=Every student received a copy of "Uni in the USA" | US-UK Fulbright Commission |publisher=Flickr |date=2012-07-11 |access-date=2016-09-17}}

In December 2012, Uni in the USA launched a forum service, intended for students, schools and others to discuss all aspects of studying abroad in America. Questions posted on the forum have received answers from experts on US applications.{{cite news|url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/education/article3625845.ece |title=Pupils given help to fly high and go to university in the US |newspaper=The Times |date=2012-12-10 |access-date=2016-09-17}}
