^milee30. “dead in his apartment for 2 weeks” contrary to things you may have read recently, Great Britain is still first world. My eldest is in Scotland has had the time of her life made many friends from all over the world. The academic rigor is how you make it, if you go to lectures and tutorials, read the material, write cogent essays and hand them in on time you are going to be fine, my daughter has never had an issue accessing her professors/lecturers.
