Pop quiz: what's the only country in the world that receives more international students than the United States?
Pop answer: jolly ol'e England.
And why is that? Does it really need an explanation? It's England for cryin' out loud.
This is the country that gave birth to William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and Jane Austin. To Elton John, Amy Winehouse and the band Coldplay. This country has some serious street cred.
And, like a stand out on British Idol - which subsequently spawned American Idol - England's got range. You can study business in metropolitan London, study literature at Shakespeare's birthplace at Stratford-Upon-Avon or study history in 1,000-year-old Roman baths at the aptly named Bath.
In fact, no matter where you go in England, you're bound to run into something educational. And more often than not, that something just happens to also be both fascinating and fun.
