Five Scots universities 'in top 200'

[amcdonald]

Eh? I'm just struggling to understand how someone who admits to living in a poky 1-bed flat can have neighbours with a DB5?

She's bonds cleaner and he's the butler ?

[darmstadt]

And the condition they keep them in. Our neighbour has a DB5 in garage. I can smell it before I see it.

Why, does he tulip in it?

[scooterscot]

Well it's burning four star I guess and the fumes are quite a departure from the modern exhaust.

[sasguru]

Ah well my reasonable question was ignored.
Probably because Lord Haw Haw forgot he'd ever posted about his poky one-bed flat.
There's even a picture floating about somewhere showing his old Murphy Richards kettle in a kitchen the size of a shoe-box.

[Wanderer]

and why is more and more folks from south of the border are choosing to study up here despite the fees?

Probably are is because of the beautiful weather, aye....

[vetran]

Would you turn them away?

at my age and with my looks you can't be choosy. I doubt I could even get MP's motor running.

Another interesting read - "Scotland has more institutions in the top 200 per head of population than any other country."

BBC News - Five Scots universities 'in top 200'

Back to the OP's original question (!)

I don't see what Scotland has to boast about in this list compared to England. Scotland's 2nd best university is 117th in the list. England has 13 higher entries and their quality is arguably much higher. Can you really compare Glasgow to Bristol, Durham and York, never mind Oxbridge, Imperial and UCL??? It might be free in Scotland but is it world class?

To answer your question, look at past posts by the OP, a Scottish graduate, or so he claims.
And make your own mind up .

To be fair we have a bad example of a Scottish graduate.

To be fair we have a bad example of a human.
