Hello, Sinister- I know I don't write very often, but I have a question for you now, so I hope it's alright that I'm using this forum. So, ummm, *clears throat and shuffles* here goes: Next year I want to (am dying to) study abroad, in the UK. My school does offer a program that could send me to Oxford, but a lot of my friends are going to do that and as much as I love them all, I don't want to fly across an ocean to see the same people on campus. I want to be able to strike out on my own - find a school, find a life independently... and see them on weekends and holidays. Also, the idea of joining an exchange 'program' doesn't exactly appeal to me, as I would rather just integrate myself into the community... by myself. Yes, Oxford would be a dream (Sebastian Flyte! Charles Ryder!), but I know that a lot of you have had various experiences with a myriad of Scottish and British colleges and I was wondering if any of you have any words of wisdom. How are University of Edinburgh and University of Glasgow? My major is biology and the subjects that I love are microbiology and English, both lit and creative writing (painful juxtaposition, I know... double majoring is NOT working). As you can see, I'm rather aiming towards Scotland (no there WOULDN'T be a reason for that heh heh heh heh), but anywhere in England is still open. So, yeah... if any of you lovely people could help me out at all, I would be forever indebted to you. merci~ Ann AIM: quiet faery kid _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself with MSN Messenger 6.0 -- download now! http://www.msnmessenger-download.com/tracking/reach_general +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
