Ashford Academy

What do people think about Ashford Academy. Is is just me or is that school a bit over the top. They seem to have so many buildings and too many clubs. i.e They have a swim club and horse club , sports club , the list goes on.

My guess is that they made the place so opulent because it is a private school. There probably isn't a better school than that in Area 11 of Code geass. Anime often is overly dramatic of the magnificence of things so that they almost appear to be not realistic.
