[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the lure for American students to go to college in Scotland?  Honest question.[/quote]

Same as the lure of the University of Wisconsin, Michigan, Portland, or any US university.

You look for the top-ranked schools in your area of study, see if your stats are a match, and if you can afford it. Though UK university applications are relatively straightforward compared to the US. If you have the grades and test scores, you have a good chance of being admitted.

The US university system was modeled after Scotland's so it's easier to navigate / more apples-to-apples than England's.  Edinburgh is certainly better value than the comparable US universities (so much that DS could afford grad school), with a strong global rank/recognition, good job placement, and senior-year internships with global organizations.

And for the right kid, who isn't interested in the greek system or a rural campus, an international city and student population is appealing.
