Boo, the site says the trailer is unavailable now. I shall have to be patient. Pic looks... strangely similar to the ones I've seen for BSG, Reaper and such. Wonder if it's a new trend in tv ads.

BTW, I forgot you were in Madrid and I totes could use some info - have you heard about the St Louis University of Madrid? The good, the bad, the ugly? I want to transfer there in the fall but I know next to nothing about the place... having never actually been to Madrid.

The trailer must me up on Youtube as well

Ah, Romania, why must you have such a wonderful reputation?

Thanks for the quick reply back. I'm finding the prospect a little daunting, but it would be a first step in getting closer to the States, which is my eventual goal. I guess I need to see the city for myself, I'm sure though, that it's not that different from Paris or London so that shouldn't be worrying. Am not a huge nightlife person, but public transportation is love. Only subways or busses/trams too? I'm a little claustrophobic and I don't like being underground. Especially the sound of subways in motion makes me go crazy.

The public transportation network is the best thing ever, believe me when I say it because I have no car and I totally rely on public transportation! :) I used to use a combination of subway+bus or subway+train to get to my uni campus and I was able to get there super fast! Just some lines are the ones overcrowded, mind you not like the Tokyo subway LOL, you can actually get in the bust/train and breathe *lol* Unfortunately one of the worst is line 6, which is the one with stops near the campus of the Uni you mentioned, but also there are stops of line 7, which is never overcrowded! :)

You're awesome. Thanks so much. I'm planning to go to the uni first to check it out before I apply, to make sure I can handle the getting there and I like the place.

[syliasyliasylia]

I totally agree with you, the best thing is to see both the city and the uni with your own eyes before making the decision!

I hope you like the city when you come over! :) BTW, dit I mention, the awesome clothing stores! ^^

Oooh! Shopping opportunities!

That might just sway me :D
