[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]agree that so much info on DCUM is out of date and FB pages - and even vlogs - give a more accurate picture. [/quote] The level of UK parent involvement in the college admission process is comparatively very low (makes sense given a straightforward admissions process and low cost of attendance). I did a quick check to see if my DD's uni even had a parents' FB page. To my surprise they did; however, it had 46 members for a student body of 12,000 undergraduates (I suspect that St Andrew's is an outlier here given the large number of US students who attend). A good alternative place for information is the student room. It is the UK's college confidential: https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/. PP also mentions vlogs. We found student youTube vlogs to be helpful. Just google your student's uni + international student experience+ YouTube and they should pop up. [/quote]
