I’m wanting to know in particular about the quality of education you think you were able to receive and about what the campus culture was like. Was it campus-oriented culture, or were people more just on their own? How similar was it to a “traditional American college” experience?
Also, if you have an answer, but you didn’t study political science or IR, please feel free to comment as well.
You might want to post this comment in the International forum under United Kingdom, as well. It seems where that is the most discussion of UK schools.
Google “uk vs us college experience” to get a good idea of the differences.

I think one thing to keep in mind is that the UK schools are more oriented around a final assessment, rather than continuous assessment (e.g., homework, quizzes, exams). So how self-structured are you?
