[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amazing how polarizing St Andrews is. As someone whose sibling went (yes people actually go there and get educations) and whose DC turned down an offer but seriously considered it: it's a great school. Curriculum is different, and yes they d their best to appeal to Americans. Their ratings tend to be artificially low when rated against research universities (because they're not really), or artificially high when the ratings bring in student satisfaction (which is very high). Note that none of the above correlates well with the DCUM crowd's odd obsession with "prestige" through percentage of rejection. If you're shopping for an education rather than the most elite bumper sticker, it's a solid option.

So's Edinburgh. Very different experience: city, much bigger school, more comprehensive and research driven.

And BTW having been a hiring manager for years: any American kid who decides to go to university in another country won points with me for their spirit of adventure. I'd take a kid who had the courage to do this over someone who went to their mom's alma matter so they could tailgate and party any day.

Well, they may went to local school because they got full scholarship or aid to make it debt free.[/quote]
