Hello all,
I'm a third year university student from the US and I'm trying to make a decision between UCL, St. Andrews and Peking University in Beijing for this coming spring semester that I will be spending abroad. Does anyone have personal experiences with these institutions? I realize that St. Andrews is much more rural compared with Peking and UCL. I am especially worried about the expense of living in London and the UK in general. Should I expect to find prices in St. Andrews to much more reasonable than in London? Also, I realize that Peking is one of the top schools in China - but how does it stack up to institutions such as UCL and St. Andrews? Finally, as far as living arrangements are concerned, is self-catering or catered housing the more popular choice for students in the UK?
I know there are a lot questions, but any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
All the best,
Derek
