What information did you feel you were missing, given the extensive information available on line? St Andrews bends over backwards to recruit US students (and their money) so what are they doing wrong?

In the UK parents are in general much much less involved with the activities of their adult children compared to the US, so I don’t think there is very much information specifically labelled as for parents only. The student is the applicant, and the process is aimed at them. Once your D enrols don’t expect the college to contact you (ever). They will probably send all information to the student.

Do you object to being lumped with other international students? Is it unacceptable that US students are not treated as special cases? Do you feel that the information for international students excludes you?
