[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a particular reason your child wants to go to Oxford or Cambridge? I did a junior year at one of them, and for the humanities, it's significantly different from (or different to, if you want to be British about it) the approach at American colleges & universities. [/quote] OP here. We are actually from continental Europe, so it would place him closer to relatives. He cannot attend a university in our home country, as higher education is in a period of upheaval there right now. It's true he's mostly experienced American education, along with native language school on weekends. Do you mean that British unis tend to place more emphasis on independent reading and long essay forms? That's what our home country does too. [/quote]
