[quote=Anonymous]It can be a very good option. There are some differences to understand. Universities in the UK generally do less hand-holding than some US universities, both for living arrangements and academics. Students need to know to self-advocate. Also, the American notion of "extra-time" for kids with learning differences is at least uncommon; many places it does not exist at all. Nearly all UK students - even in Scotland - have made a firm decision about which degree to pursue in college before applying. Their last 2 years of HS were concentrated accordingly. Housing in London is tight and often expensive. Most 1st year students at one of the constituent Colleges within the University of London can get a dorm, but after that the student needs to find/arrange their own accommodation. Important to understand housing options for any UK university one is applying to. [/quote]
