[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ she will be fine, when did you attend PP, about 15 years ago? Things have changed and many efforts are made - gigs, bars, events within the student union and nearby. She will find her people.

When my BF was at UCL his friends were from many different places, Germany, other parts of the UK, the USA. He was from London but he still found his people from all over.

And the experience was pretty "vibrant" as I remember it.[/quote]

No need to be so defensive. I never said there was no undergrad life. Yes, there are (and always were) things to do and people to meet. It's absolutely "vibrant" but we don't know what that means to OP's kid. I'm just saying that even now, any undergrad experience in England is going to be different from what most -- not all, but most -- American teens think of as undergrad life. That's all.

And we don't know if OP's daughter has ever lived for any time in a city center--whether that's London or NYC or LA or anywhere that huge. I loved it; I knew people who hated it.

I agree with the earlier post that put it like this: There's a difference between going to London (or any large city) for college and going to a college that happens to be in London. That's why the OP's DD should visit if at all possible.

Clearly understanding and being ready for the fundamental difference in the academic structure is still the most important factor, much more so than whatever social life goes on.
