| ^ you still don't get it, yes many of these 3000 US colleges are small LACs/specialised colleges compared to the mostly huge comprehensives of the UK....but lets compare pop size, US has 5x the population of UK, so in terms of the quality of the student body, selectivity, quality of the academic staff etc., i would say the top 6-7 UK unis are comparable to the top 20-30 US unis, generally speaking (and we're not even talking about funding, which significantly tilts the playing field in the favour of US unis)
at the rate you're going, its a laundry list no doubt....and since you're the OP, if you're ok with it, then i'm fine too =) |
