Turing was sent to Sherborne School in Dorset, a private school for boys, where he showed great aptitude for maths and science, no interest in any other subject and a lack of social skills. His spelling and handwriting remained poor throughout life. However he obtained a place at King's College, [[Cambridge University]] where he became a follower of [[John Maynard Keynes]]. He did postgraduate work and then in 1936 went to study at [[Princeton University]] in the USA.
