[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here! Was just curious as I have no real exposure to British schools other than Oxford and Cambridge. DD was momentarily imagining what it would be like to attend college in the UK, which then piqued my interest. It's not a loaded or serious question. I just wanted to gauge people's opinions. Thanks![/quote]

OP, this thread from last year has some good information on applying to UK schools.

Ho boy, the sneering condescension and air of superiority in that thread is obnoxious. Brits really do think they're still on top of the world, huh?

I really hope the trend that they're predicting in that thread - of Americans increasingly seeking university in the UK - doesn't come to fruition. We have an excellent, excellent state school system here, and our elite institutions are some of the strongest, if not the strongest, in the world. I really do think the astronomical costs of tertiary education need to be kept in check, however. They can't keep rising like this forever.[/quote]
