[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]St Andrews, and McGill.  These I don't get it.

Why not Oxybridge?  Why not UBC[/quote]

Oxbridge and other UK schools have a vastly different system. You pick ONE subject and only study that one for three years. 
St Andrews and McGill are much closer to the US approach[/quote]

McGill yes, agree.

In practice not easy or automatic to get permission to change degrees at StA. Some do change their degree, with university permission, but not many. Some who request to change degree are denied by StA. [/quote]

Not true. 1/3 of kids starting at Sta change their degree within 2 years. It is VERY common and VERY easy if within one of the 4 colleges.
Both of my kids changed degrees.

My son went from Mgmt single Honours to IR and History Joint Honors. IT was very easy to change as he took all 3 modules first 2 years.
My daughter started as IR and changed to Financial Economics.
Half of their friends changed majors within 24 months.[/quote]
