During most of the 20th century, Le Rosey was referred to as the "School of Kings", as the school has educated many notable alumni, including 7 monarchs.[7][8]

Le Rosey is currently in the planning stages of constructing the CHF 45 million (estimated $43 million USD) Carnal Hall, an Arts and Performance Centre for Le Rosey and the La Côte region currently scheduled for completion in 2012.[9][10] The school is also planning the sale of its Gstaad winter campus, and a move to a location that can accommodate more personnel and students.[11]


Their spending makes endowments look poor...

FWIW, I am in the negotiations to buy said winter campus.

I always found that funny because the Sorbonne is easy to get into.

Oxford and Cambridge probably have more clout in former Commonwealth nations than any American institution. China in particular love Cambridge since one of their poets wrote a famous poem about studying there.
