As a Brit I can see that Britechester is based on Britain in terms of the architecture but the actual university itself, with the jackets and the mascot and the way the debate team work and the spirit squad and things.. I always thought it seems a lot more American than British.
We don’t really have things like keg parties here to the best of my knowledge, and like beer pong etc. Those types of dorms aren’t very British either. So to me it feels more American. But yes I can see some British inspiration in the world.
To be fair maybe it isn’t American either, could just be a fun way of looking at university life. Overall it’s not like going to uni here but some things like the bicycles are definitely authentic to U.K. universities. I think they probably meshed a lot of different influences together.
I think it was intentionally conceived of as primarily British, but certainly anyone who has spent time around or in Boston would recognize it as being at least somewhat influenced, even if unconciously, by Harvard/MIT.
