[quote=Anonymous]I remember reading an article about how well off German families were sending their kids to university in the UK because they wanted the kids to have a more traditional university experience and also to graduate in a few years. The typical German student took up to 7 years to get their degree and the university model is as described on this thread, not particularly congenial. A lot of kids spend the seven years partying and being perpetual students. The American higher education college model is a very special education format and a number of schools in the UK are also similar, particularly Oxford and Cambridge. I would think carefully about giving up the campus environment and flexibility of the American university experience for a much simpler and less congenial continental university model. It may seem more "adult" but let's be honest here, you have an entire life of adulthood ahead of you. Enjoy being a student for a few years. [/quote]
