[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be careful with this place.  Our son loved it, but there’s a lot of anti American sentiment from the administration. We never thought we’d need to worry about the negative things we’d read about the school, but it’s there and can affect your student if something comes up.   They are trying to raise as much cash as possible from the Americans, but they resent us. Also - there is not enough housing, on campus or off.  It’s a huge problem that they dont mention until your freshman has no place to live and gets housed on a satellite campus in a different city an hour away ![/quote]

+1.  I’m glad you reactivated this thread. My DD is at a similar British school abd is experiencing the same anti-American brush off. You are totally on your own [/quote]

Its largely a cultural difference. I am from London originally. Most UK people devour American culture but will be rude about Americans publicly. There are also subtle differences in what is considered "polite" there and here in the US. If you don't get it right, you're immediately dismissed and often people will feel the right to be openly rude to you. This is why we stay in the USA. It's preferable to dealing with that shit.
