[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]… but be aware that St A does not offer services that US Universities do. Read extensively before sending a student who is needy of services, has ADHD or something requiring counseling and meds, or other health issues. Send only very mature students who are self-starters[/quote]

This is *also* true of virtually every other UK university, including both Oxford and Cambridge.  The whole UK university setup is fundamentally different from the US system, which is worth understanding thoroughly before applying to *any* UK university.[/quote]

You're right. But there are fresh efforts to address this. Many student unions have wellness centers and places to go to talk to professionals in case of mental health needs. There are also new centers for study help, both online and in person. I was struck by this because my kid is going to attend the university I went to, where none of this existed in my time at all. But as I say, it has changed and is developing. [/quote]
