[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McGill rates in my book.
[b]St Andrews not so much. [u]I’d put Edinburgh ahead of it. [/u]something like 20 percent of St. Andrews students are American now. Money grab.[/b] I’m not a fan of UK uni system at all. Ultimately I think it depends on what your DC wants to do.  If further study, then Uk uni might make sense. If it’s about getting recruited and work in US after undergrad, well US opportunities are recruited for on US campuses. The only recruitment done in UK is for UK roles, so most American kids will need a sponsored visa. Also wages in UK are about 2/3 what they are in America so why would you..

Agree.  Without commenting on whether a kid should go to school in Scotland vs. USA, I'd go Edinburgh all day every day over St. Andrews for serious students.

DCUM likes St. Andrews because DCUM is full of affluent people who seek the country clubby preppy Our Kind of People atmosphere for their ultra-tutored kids.  See also Elon, Tulane, Bowdoin, U. of Denver, Trinity ...
