Britain is a GREAT place to study. Spent a semester there. Museums, cathedrals, architecture, history.

Love it! Just stay out of the classrooms...you don't learn anything there.

To: what's up

I love England. My dad was born/raised there so half my family is there. Been there at least 15 times. I would probably live there if America wasn't so awesome. I love all the history and things to see - Roman, Celtic, Middle Ages, Tutor, Norman, Elizabethean. I mean where else can you walk half a mile down the street from your grandma's to pass by Lewis Carroll's house and a 1000 year old castle built for William the Conquerer? Or wander into the woods behind an uncle's house and find the ruins of a castle?

But these people think British schools are expensive??!!?? BS. My English gran had this trust for all of her grandkids education. Everyone got the same amount. My cousins could pay for their WHOLE education at Cambridge or Oxford, while that same amount only covers 1/3 of 1 year at a school of equal or worse caliber in the US. For non-citizens, Cambridge and Oxford are under $10k a year.

The rain does annoy. I have many fond memories of it always raining. I suppose the paleness explains why I am one of the palest white people you'll ever meet :) (I look very English). Sorry for the rambling... but I'm a huge Anglophile.
