[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is no one talking about University of Glasgow. That is most likely better than St. Andrews and Edinburgh [/quote]

Huh? Again from someone with seemingly no knowledge of Scottish or UK universities

Glasgow is great, and on par with Edinburgh in terms of rankings, but universally ranked lower than St Andrews on national and subject specific rankings. 
That's not to denigrate Glasgow, i'm just trying to reflect the reality that most all Scottish, UK, and international students would choose St Andrews over Glasgow or Edinburgh if they were met the St Andrews standards of entry.

That said, Americans should definitely take a look at Glasgow, it's a great university in a beautiful part of Glasgow. It definitely attracts international students, but serves Scottish and rUK students probably more so than Edi or StA. Lacks the posh vibe too, it won't have as much of the preppy American or UK boarding school crowd. Glasgow is the biggest city and center of art and nightlife in Scotland, there's so many opportunities there. But no, not the same standards of admission/caliber of student body/international recognition as Edinburgh, definitely not the same as St Andrews. [/quote]
