[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For us, Oxbridge is attractive financially as it is for academics and prestige. We're US citizens, but even as an international student, three years at a UK college will be cheaper or at least on par with full-pay private college Stateside. A liberal arts degree is three years, so there's cost cutting there too. For the price, three years at Oxbridge will be a much more eye-opening and learning experience than spending four years at a mid-tier US college. If DC were to get a generous scholarship here, or get into an Ivy, then that would be a different matter.[/quote] OP here. [b]Mine is applying for a 4 year program[/b], so not as cost effective unless we can get home rate for the 4th year maybe. She is also applying for colleges in the US. I would rather she study here for the breadth of the US system (I went to Oxford, just fyi to the snots on this thread who think I don't get the difference between US and UK programs), but there is also a wealth in the EC life, not just the course of study, so I agree it would be an eye-opening learning experience. It just would have more subject depth and less academic breadth.[/quote] So she doesn't have the equivalent of Latin A level? That's the only time they require four years.[/quote]
