Dear Teachers,
On one of the language forums there is an argument about the meaning of the verb "to enrol" (as in "to enrol at a colledge/school etc.") One of the members insists that "to enrol" = "to attend" as in "My number one goal this year is to enrol at a university". This member's main argument is that in BrE people "enrol at a university" while in AmE people "attend a university". To me it's quite clear that people enrol at a university in order to become a student there, i.e. to attend this university. Is that right? Could you please clarify?
Answeres from British English speakes would be much appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
