[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Per rankings above, Bath is one that never gets talked about here.[/quote]

My guess, unfortunately, is that the name of the school affects the way Americans perceive the university. 
DCUM’s families from CT or DC cant possibly have a discussion in their circles about their kid going to Bath….just doesn’t sound right, so they all avoid it….[/quote]

Did you just think this up? It doesn't really seem viable. [/quote]

It seems completely reasonable to me. Attending a British university instead of an American (or even Canadian) institution is a sizable logistical & paperwork hassle.

If you’re going to go through that, you usually want to end up with a name on your resume that sounds somewhat distinguished. I would guess plenty of people in the US and abroad avoid Rice, Ball State, Slippery Rock, & Tufts for similar reasons.[/quote]

Paperwork hassle? Let me introduce you to UCAS. You fill in one form and you pay 28 pounds and you've applied to 5 colleges. Everything goes through them, sometimes the colleges ask for AP certificates / SAT score transcripts. They may want the 1 recommendation letter required to go on letter head.[/quote]
