[quote=Anonymous]My kid went to visit and fell in love  and applied for next year. we visited the child of a friend who is a student there and loves it. It is 20 percent or so American so lots of folks around who feel familiar, There is a fairy-tale feel, tons of traditions, cute town, gorgeous scenery. Very highly rated in Britain- varying rankings depending on which list you look at, but overall for Brits it seem to line upon terms of rankings for Brits  with a lower Ivy level- think Cornell/Dartmouth or maybe a place like Wesleyan.

It's very hard to get in in the UK less so for Americans, but they are VERY grade and test score oriented and care much less than US schools about extra curriculars, sports, if you founded a charity to save the northern titmouse etc.

I hear the academics are hard especially the first year because the brits are basically a year ahead of us when they start.  My kid is independent and intellectual so I think it will be a good fit if it works out. [/quote]
