<p>I am an international student from India and over the years I have noticed that many people I know are applying to the UK and from the trend I have noticed, almost all of them are rich- parents kids who do not perform well in schools and prefer to party rather than work hard. They only go to schools in London to get an exposure and a degree.</p>
<p>My friends who are aiming for the US, are on the otherhand more hardworking and have high goals in life.</p>
<p>One of the reasons for this is maybe because UK offers admission based solely on the parent's capacity to pay and does not keep merit in mind. Is this true?</p>
<p>Are the universites of UK really good? How difficult/ easy it is to get admissions in the various schools of UK?</p>
<p>I would like people especially other International students to offer their views and compare the universites and education of US and the UK.</p>
