[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really you should compare the last two years at HYP to Oxbridge. The high school systems are also different.[/quote] True, in America the liberal arts curriculum is done in the first two years of college, while in Britain and Europe you generally take care of that in high school. [/quote] This is the party line in Europe, but there really isn't any comparison between the basics you master in order to spit out 6 bullet points on your GCSEs in Year 11, and a course taught at Harvard by someone doing active research in the field.[/quote] Someone doing active research in the field is not a big asset, and likely a demerit, to a basic broad intro course. Especially when that person has up to 900(!) students in one lecture The real difference is just that British colleges just don't care about the liberal arts as a whole for each student. They care about it for the school overall. [/quote]
