What ur gonna be when u get all growded up

[Divine Intervention]

i wouldn't even think of going to oxford or cambridge. Elitist sobs.
Altho I wouldn't want to go to Harvard or Yale either...
the entrie culture of those palces is disgraceful

hmmm well id agree about Harvard & Yale (to an extent and only based on what i heard but can't comment for sure because ive never met anyone there/been there), but yeah...thats why something like Brown would be so much in my opinion...Columbia, Georgetown and Stanford....(*drools and wishes he was smart enough to go there/be rich enough to pay the fees*) but in regards to Oxbridge...their intake isn't based on wealth or anything...theres a large intake of state schooled people/people with humble backgrounds...ive been there several times (oxford - interviews & several visits) as well as knowning a lot of people from my school & friends who got in...and id say youd be wrong in your assertion.

University of Linköping, 250-300k SEK is enough for covering a 5 year education in sweden. That is roughly $31-37k usd at todays currency value.

brown isn't a real university... they don't have a busienss or law school or economics department... they're completely useless for postgraduate study except in 'soft'subjects, that aren't real sciences anyway. and well, medical stuff and biology, yea. Absolutely no idea why they're considered elite...
But Cornell, UPenn and Columbia nad those palces do sound very nice. They're on my MBA lists
Apparantly I'd even have a shot at getting into those if i had studied for my SATs.

As for Oxbridge, yea i know they try to take people in fro mstate school etc, but they're still fr below average... and a lot of the people i knwo of who got in those places, or graduated fro mthere... msot are not very pleasant people to be around. Thinkign they own the world because they go to a university where they supposedly have to be back in their halls by midnight
someone with a first from a dump like.. Hull.. is probably gonna be jsut as smart as someone with a first from oxbridge. Yet he doesn't come with al lthe 'i'm the master of the world' attitude.

oh btw @tnova, i'm not elitist, i'm jsut from munich -> high standards and arrogant

Hull? really? maybe even London Met ? although tbf i do know a girl who went to London Met with AAA + at A-level simply because she's non'conformist and didn't want to apply to Cambridge to piss her parents off (yeah, good job there hun ).

well since exams are all on the same level allover the UK, a 1st from london met should be jsut as good as one from imperial...
in fact it'd be even more impressive, as it takes you a lot more effort to get a 1st from a crappy dump where they got no idea to teach.

and the course content is pretty much the same everywhere (wel lexcept for ex-polys i guess). our ecoomics curriculum is probably exactly the same as fro mwarwick or cambridge or LSE

depending on what living standards you want. I might have done a low estimate, swedish students have 73000 SEK / year if they use student loans and grants that they should use to cover their expenses such as rent, food, clothes and study material. Thats $9100 a year and $45625 in 5 years depending on currency exchange rates (currently $1usd = 8sek)

You guys shouldn't believe fictional t.v. shows. =p They have some accuracy but most kids really don't have one end all be all uni/college. And usually, the reason it's all over if they don't get in to the school they want is because they're looking for scholarships and they fail on scholarships.

I's got my accounting diploma and so far I'm planning to go back and get my cga designation, however, I should have gone to school for computer programming. I'd enjoy it more, and I'd be better at it. Iz ok, boyfriend teach me a few things and I go in to business with him.

i can't see how going to a good university and going to one far away contradicts. i went to a good university that was o nthe other side of the globe from home
and when my parents moved to the same country, i moed to a different one
