Heya! I was wondering how many of us are from the UK. I'm just curious because I've never been there and I may be going to Grad School there in the near future.
I applied to 9 different schools there, and was hoping some of you could give me a little advice as to which ones are best. Any experience is a definate plus :)
What schools did you apply for?
Sheffield
Loughborough
Stirling
London QM
Bradford
Salford
UCLAN
London South Bank
Can't remember the last one.. without looking up my info.
Haven't got a clue about any of them I'm afraid.
I have a friend at Loughborough and she loves it there..
But I never went to uni so I can't really comment. Although I did grow up in London and I loved it there.
I really hope that you enjoy it here in the UK though. :)
Did you receive the PM Ath?
Sheffield is awesome!
haha I should have known you'd say that, Converse. ;)
Hehe well my sister goes to the uni there 'Sheffield Hallem' and I go and visit her alot, I love it there. We go to a rock club called 'The Corporation' it's awesome! One day I'm gonna move there!
Oh yeah, i've heard of Sheffield Hallem uni. Infact, I think an online friend of mine goes there.
I think i've heard of The Corporation too, but I don't like going clubbing. :)
I got the PM.. thanks much Kiechi :)
Awesome thanks for the info guys, keep em coming.. lol
academically speaking out of the universities you've picked london qm (queen mary) is the best for its status. so having a degree from there is better then sheffield or whatever (sorry) lol
Sounds good to me :)
Still haven't told us what you plan on studying there?
Oh sorry.. MSc in IT
But my background is in Criminology and Psychology.
Why the change? Also, how much is it to study here in the UK for you?
I just wanted a total career change. I like the UK Masters programs because they're so intensive. Literally, 9 months of taught curriculum with a 3 month dissertation. Going to cost roughly $30K in dollars. That's really not bad considering it includes tuition and living for a year.
You're right that ain't bad. But does that include food? If not, expect to pay a alotta' dough, especially in London. Everything is so over-priced. Especially the nightlife. Like last time I went clubbing I was paying 7.50 for a double shot. Which is bout' 15 bucks roughly (if you 1:2). But at the end of the day, it isn't just your masters, its an experience too.Quote:

It didn't factor in food or any life outside of studying.. lol
Guess I need to! But either way.. an experience definately! :)
Where you from?
Good Old Alabama :)
...with a banjo on my knee :P
Lol well lets do a swap, you come to the U.K and I'll come to the states!
My friend is study at Sheffield and she loves it there! In fact she doesn't even want to come home this year for the holidays and has got a placement there. Went to visit her awhile back an its pretty awesome in Sheffield, riding the Trams can be great fun.
Seriously don't recommend studying in London though, it’s unbelievably expensive to live there or to do anything. Also travelling anywhere in London can be absolute nightmare with all the traffic.
Don't really know much about the other cities you mention, but hope you find somewhere good. Know it can be really expensive studying abroad, so I hope you really enjoy your course over here and have a great time. :)
hi
I live in London. what exactly are you planning to do and which unis have you gone for?
Im happy to help if theres anything I can do.;)
