[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Durham indeed is a good option. [/quote] Durham is up there in the rankings. It does however, have almost 40% of its students coming from private / independent UK schools which is a wealthy and tiny minority of the country. Outside of Oxford & Cambridge it has the highest percentage of these kids. [/quote] Exeter and St Andrews also have very high % of students from these schools. Even Edinburgh is like this. It is not a Durham issue. I’m not sure what the “However” means in your comment. For a portion of US kids going to these UK schools, their parents on avg had the ability to pay for Private schools in the US, so the fact that 40% of the students at these schools come from Privates would not even ring a bell with any of the US parents sending their kids to the UK. If they truly wanted a very Ethinic diverse student body, they could have just sent their kids to a Public school in the US.[/quote]
