[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on these posts, I might be the only person here who has any knowledge of U.K. academics because I actually went to school in the U.K.  LSE, Masters Class of 15.  I can assure you all that most people in the UK, and everyone in London finance, considers St. Andrews to be a school for rich, stupid kids who end up working as tour guides on their family's ancestral estate, not unlike US students at Bennington College.[/quote]

Or just someone disappointed that they were unable to attend Stoxbridge and had to settle for LSE.  [/quote]

Stoxbridge is not a thing.  It is Oxbridge. [/quote]

From a no more reliable source than the urban dictionary (https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=stoxbridge )  :D

Stoxbridge - term is used to collectively refer to the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge & St Andrews University, the three most prestigious universities in the United Kingdom.
Admissions to Stoxbridge is extremely competitive.

You can even get a coffee mug for your student. [/quote]

I went to Cambridge (B.A.).  Graduated in 2002. The only mention of St Andrews was Prince Willam attended.  The Varsity match. The Boat Race.  Tabs. Scum. Blues. Light Blues.    It is Oxbridge and everything else.  [/quote]
