i still have 2 years to go in this school, and then at least one on a Dutch university, but then i intend to get into a foreign university ASAP. i am most likely going to study Physics or Chemistry, and i am looking for an English speaking country if possible.
i want to know if any of you has any experience with certain university's in those fields of science, i am asking now so i can use it as argumentation for extra english classes, and because i am pretty interested anyway. i would be very happpy if you guys posted your experiences, story's or hear-say's here.

Yeah, I've been looking into it quite a bit, as that's where I'm planning on going.

All I've heard from other people, though, is where the pubs are.

As for the site, it's been up and down for a few weeks now.

Just been looking through their prospectus, and they don't offer any Physics courses, oddly.

They have a few in Chemistry, though. Applied, Analytical and Environmental, plus the chance to take it alongside another subject.

what am i supposed to see when i hear Analytical Chemistry?
Environmental doesn't sound to cool, really, and Applied sounds like just an awfull lot of organic chem (CxHy chains and stuff)

mmmm, nice listing of what is available where, but real info on what it is seems missing.

I studied chemisty in Hull. The university was pretty cool and the nightlife wasn't too bad for a small uni either. Plus it's the most logical choice for a dutch student cause home is only a ferry ride away so the dutch community is pretty large (two of my housemates were dutch girls so I got to know a fair few of them) :)

The chem department is pretty good but I know very little about the physics one.

going home isn't really an issue, if something is really bad you're always one plane away, and you won't go home every weekend anyway.


anything with a good chem department sounds nice, really.

Yeah but I thought it worth mentioning that there are a suprising large number of dutch people there :) Then again you're probably coming to the UK to get away from dutch people :D

i just read the hull site on Physics and Chem, it looks nice, really.

and gettting away from the Dutch isn't the point here, it is more the idea to get a taste of studying in other countrys.

The thing about Hull is that it's often called the most depressing place in England.

I can vouch for that.

That's the problem, I'm not entirely sure. There's no good reason for it being depressing, it just is.

The fact that it has a separate telephone network to the rest of the country might have something to do with it.

And if you mis-spell it you get Hell. I also get the impression it's not a nice place to live but I've never been there.... who knows.

Come to Portsmouth! All the cool kids are going there.... (well, I am anyway).

Newcastle has been suggested  by my mom. i have visited the countryside there, it looks rather nice.

Hull doesn't look all too bad, but i can't really see all that much plusses either.

Portsmouth, i'll do a google on that one.

A more Canadian (although Europe or Australia would be interesting) perspective I'm about a year and a half away from completing my undergraduate degree in Communications and Multimedia.  Anyone got any grad school suggestions?  Stuff to look out for?  Alternatives to grad school...I'm getting told fairly consistently that a degree simply isn't enough anymore.  So I'm looking for more :)

Top up fees, natch.  Not sure when they come into existance in England & how they affect furriners, but it's worth noting.

Can't really speak for Strathclyde Uni..I know we've got probably the best CS department* in Scotland, but not sure on the rest.

*was when I started, anyways - that's why I chose here.
