[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frankly I don’t understand the logic. If you don’t want to spend 250k on a US college you don’t have to. Go in state (UTA UVA Michigan UNC are all great schools for prime students) or Get merit at a T100 school.

The majority of the people I see posting on DCUM with kids going abroad are prestige hunters whose kids didn’t have the grades and stats to get into the T20/30. So off to St Andrews they go. So mommy can drop a name.

From what I see it’s not about quality of education at all. If it was y’all would be hyping up Durham and Warwick. But instead it’s the same 3 UK schools (I don’t begrudge Oxbridge btw that’s legit). But LSE as a psych major? Please.

I dont get this board's fixable/hatred of St Andrews when again and again, it's top 5 in UK, in a dreamy little corner with sky high student satisfaction numbers. You dont begrudge Oxbridge because "that's legit". St Andrew's is legit and so is LSE.

MY kids are in the US, but cmon... [/quote]

I know you think so. Because the rankings say so. But St Andrews is like Northeastern. I said what I said. [/quote]
