[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another plus is the peers. The UK peers you will have at St Andrews are on par with the top kids in the US. It is much harder for them to get in and most need A*A*A* just to be considered or a 42+/45 IB. [/quote]

On par with more than that. If the future King of England attended, you know this is a school acceptable to the aristocracy. The idea that that would be appealing to (some, [i]not all, before you come at me[/i]) private school kids is a no-brainer.[/quote]

It’s not just William and Harry who went to StA. A lot of Europe’s royalty goes there.
It’s an excellent school. I[b]t’s inexpensive for people with dual citizenship (EU passports) too.[/b] Less hand holding than in the US, which I consider a plus. Students there tend to be more independent than in the US except maybe be the top 20 or so US universities that are full of driven, focused kids. No Greek life, which is also a plus imo. [/quote]

It was less expensive. Then Brexit happened.[/quote]

Dual citizens who live overseas pay international prices at UK schools.  It's like state schools in the US -- residency, not citizenship, determines the tuition.  Before Brexit, EU residents were eligible for the home price (UK, not Scottish) but no longer.
