Sinister: schooling's made a fool of me

[Ann Foreyt]

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
