Quote:

Activities are determined solely by the institution and are rarely tailored to the individual preferences of residents, leaving them with no other way but to accept.

I think that the bold part, 'leaving them with no other way but to', is wrong and instead it might be changed into 'leaving them with no choice[or option] but to'. But I'm not sure. Could you let me know if I'm wrong and why?

Thanks.

It is not wrong as written, but you could revise it the way you suggest. A way is a path, a road, both literally and figuratively. _________________ You live a new life for every new language you speak. -Czech proverb
