The Wee School You Have Never Heard About

The use of "wee" is constant in Scotland and has made me think about its applicability to the University of Aberdeen. While this is a comprehensive institution with medical, business and law schools, it is only 14,500 students, which makes it fairly small compared to some American comprehensive universities. And, Aberdeen as a city is under 300,000. So, compared to NYC or Boston, this is a "wee" place, but significant in its depth and scope and reach (tomorrow the president of Ghana will be here to receive an honorary degree). I'm amazed that more Americans do not come here for college since it's a shorter flight from the East Coast to the UK than to Los Angeles.
