Thank you for the kind comments last week, guys. It was pretty damn helpful to get some other perspectives.

Anyway, when it came to the crunch, after the meeting on Wednesday, I decided that I couldn't handle myself if I didn't give America a go. That I was worried about whether it would be a decision I would regret making for the rest of my life.

Well, there's a big long list of other places (including, pretty randomly seeing as I'm on an American Studies degree, places in Canada & Austrailia) but seeing as you asked: SUNY Binghampton, Clark, Goucher College, Louisiana State University, SUNY Plattsburgh, Rutgers, San Francisco State University, Tulane, University of Alaska, University of Arizona, University of California , University of Colorado, University of Illinois, University of Maine, University of Kansas, University of Massachusetts, University of Miami, University of Mississippi, University of Missouri-Columbia, University of Missouri- St Louis, University of New Mexico, University of North Carolina, University of Oregon, University of Rhode Island, University of Richmond, University of Utah, Westminster College, Roanoake College, Middlebury College, Occidental College, Reed College, Temple University, University of Redlands.

So, as you can see the choice is a little overwhelming to someone like me who knows very little about university in America! By some form of pastoral care, I'm just a bit worried about being dumped without any support at all (this is what some people who went, for example, San Francisoco State, last year experienced) so if there isn't going to be an orientation, if I'm not going to have access to some sort of advice,then I'm not really all that interested.

Thanks for the website link as well, that looks interesting. And yeah have been Wiki-ing and trawling the websites for each place, and reading the prospectii we have at our university but I'm still pretty confused by it all.
