You are lucky! The visa process for the UK was a serious PITA. Like a good lawnmower mom, I "helped" DD do hers, and I had to google to try to figure it out (and I'm a former attorney!). A friend of hers who did it herself had all kinds of problems. Even something as simple as ending date was confusing and given w/o explanation. I thought they meant the end of the first year, but it was actually the entire period that you apply for. Good thing people screenshot their applications and put them up on the internet!My dd spent her semester in the UK, and thank goodness did not need a Visa. She did get assistance from her school on things, but it all seemed to be very last minute, and not very detailed. We were left with a lot of questions! I was so glad there were multiple kids flying over together, so at least at first they were all floundering together.
You all have me intrigued since we have 6 years until DS starts college. What everyone going board to study or do? Pretty sure DS will be studying something science/math oriented since he detests writing and ELA.
My daughter goes full time in Northern England and absolutely loves it. English schools are only three years because you just take classes in your major (they call it course). You really have to know what you want to study as you have to reapply to change courses. She's studying archaeology and the difference in what she's learning there versus what she would get even at a top university here is huge. She's in her second year and all of the cases she's taken so far are just in archaeology. In a US university she would have had one or maybe two in between GE's, etc.
No! That stinks!
I'm hoping to pull it up in 3 weeks on our way to Denver. If only we were flying out of BWI where there's a kiosk!
Oh wow that stinks...I pulled it up on our flight a month ago...by logging into SWs wifi
My husband and I were both trying throughout the flight on laptops and cellphones--through the app and through the website. I tried incognito, etc. and nothing. We were foiled on a plane with no wifi at all on the way to MCO, and then no luck on the flight back. It sucked! I had DH call chase and try to get the extra 10k miles, but no dice.
