[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in London and my BF went to UCL - all the London universities have to work hard to create a student atmosphere because they are competing with everyone else in the city.

There will be a student union building with bars, cafes, offices for clubs and information to help students (subsidized priced food and drink) and there will be help with housing if she chooses to live outside of dorms for any of the years.

Its a very prestigious place - and huge congrats to your kid for getting in, especially from an American HS. [/quote]

Yes OP it is an amazing accomplishment. I am following this thread because my younger child wants to go to school overseas. We've been told that in England you are just paying for the education and the level of student support is really minimal. If you need healthcare, for example, the student would have to navigate that on their own, instead of just going to the health clinic on campus.

Anyway, until we go across the pond for a visit, I'm encouraging my DD to look at schools in Scotland because those more closely mirror US colleges. [/quote]
