[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Son was accepted to Durham, Exeter and Manchester. Waiting for St Andrews.

Management/Econ with Politcs/IR on some.

We are from OK and his best US admits are NYU (no merit) and WashU (no merit). Only applied to 2 Publics UC System (awaiting) and Michigan (wait list).

He really wants to go abroad, we want him to make a decision without our interference. Pricing is not really an issue, although it is a nice plus with the English schools being only 3 years.

Any suggestions? Please dont reply with “look at your Flagship”….he didnt apply to OU, he had zero interest going to OU.[/quote]

I would visit the UK college options, probably during Spring Break, before deciding. Exeter, Durham, StA, and Manchester have very different environments/campuses. Let DC figure out which is the best fit

Trivial example of environmental differences, StA is in a small town with a college and a golf club. Manchester is a large city.

English university undergrad degrees are 3 yrs. Scottish degrees are 4 yrs.

For those specific degrees, I would have Manchester at the bottom of the list. YMMV. [/quote]

I was surprised when he applied to Manchester…but he is a Man City fan….. :roll:   he didnt apply to any London school. Surprised as to why StAndrews is taking this long…he sent his application in the end of December….We are planning on touring them soon. Just waiting on the St Andrews response before setting up visits. Anybody here with experience at Exeter or Durham? What about anyone here with kids who decided to go abroad despite decent acceptances to US schools?[/quote]
