    I don't live in the US. I did the SATs once, several years ago. I never applied to a single US university. I still get the occasional e-mail from US universities.

    Oh, don't worry, I pay UK fees. Best thing the EU's done for me. :D

    Still cheaper than top-tier US universities! :D And I think most courses are cheaper than that.

    Right, in that case I should mention, so as not to scare anyone off, that undergraduate study at Cambridge (or any UK uni, really) is not nearly that expensive. I think the most expensive courses - medicine and such - are about 22,000 pounds a year? Though I admit I haven't done too much...

    Did you actually go, or was it just an option? o.o Also, since you said one year, I assume it was either exchange or post-grad - in the former case you pay fees according to your home institution, and in the latter there's no limit. Undergraduate would have been cheaper. EDIT: Also, there's a...

    For now (it went from 1000 quid to 3000 to 9000 in less than ten years). And yeah, UK students get way more government help, but way less financial help overall. Plus tuition for international students is much higher.

    No one can spell baccalaureate, don't judge him for that. I would say RH, but only because I have a friend who goes there so I am a bit biased. :P

    It's not my fault if Trinity is the best college. :D Caius is good! I am convinced Jesus and Magdalene don't actually exist because I haven't met anyone who goes to them.

    I mean, I think the system works pretty well in making sure that which college you apply to doesn't really matter. I wouldn't try second guessing it, really. It changes a bit depending on subject, but in general the best colleges are Trinity, Emmanuel, King's, Clare, maybe Pembroke... basically...

    Depends. Do you want to be cynical about it and second guess which are the easiest to get into, or do you want to go all the way and apply to one of the best colleges?

    Which Cambridge college?

    But... what if you want to go to the easier one?

    University Applications

    Er, if you fail to get into the easiest one you've failed to get into all of them anyway. It doesn't matter what order they're in.

    Is it some sort of perverse humour that makes US universities send out decisions on April 1st?
