[quote=Anonymous]Maybe what PP meant by "miserable" is that the Brits generally look down on Americans, don't want to socialize with you, and so on. I say this as an American with British relatives (many of whom attended Cambridge and 1-2 who went to Oxford). I have also lived in Europe. Chelsea Clinton, who by anybody's definition is a pretty sophisticated American, said that she found herself huddling up close with the other Americans at Oxford, something she never expected. The education is first rate, of course. You may know this, but at Oxford you will need to choose a specialty, as opposed to the US liberal arts system where you choose a major after 2 years. (I think you may have a year to do this at Oxford, but at other European universities it's even sooner. I could be wrong.) Also, fewer quizzes, tests and papers, and often just one big oral exam at the end. At least, that was the experience at the non-British university I attended.[/quote]
