STUDENT EXCHANGE WOES.

[nekare]

Oh man, today and last night have been DAYS OF PANIC. I suddenly realized what the date was (as soon as I'm out of school I tend to forget what day I live in, srsly) and that today was the LAST day to hand in all my documents for the student exchange. CUE PANIC. So I drove around town all morning long to a)take pictures, b)pick up my TOEFL grade

No idea whether that uni is any good, but OMG, YOU MAY BE COMING TO LONDON! (I say 'coming' when I should say 'going', but I go to London as often as possible so I'm excited anyway).

Y felicidades por la nota!

hi, random lurker from London butting in to say Thames Valley Uni is not near the city at all - it's miles and miles out by Heathrow, and I thought a lot of their design courses were out in Reading (which is a whole different city), I think some design stuff is in the Ealing campus and that's ok though because that is central London and nice. I'm not really sure though I only know one person who went there

[nekare]

Ooooh, well. Thing is, it's the only university that I could go via my own college - while still paying my own fees. I'm only taking three classes so in all honesty I'm not all that worried about it - I've just always wanted to live in England at least for a little while. In any case, I'll try and take courses aside, or something...

Would London still be easy to reach by, dunno, train, or something? (the website claimed that it was ZOMG SO EASY and had ZOMG SO MANY BUSES, but who knows what's the real situation is...)

In any case, thanks for the info. :)

Zomg, you might be coming over here? That's rather exciting! :D I have absolutely no idea about Thames Valley - what other options do you have, out of curiosity?

[nekare]

Noooone, that's the problem. :[ Most of the college's exchange arrangments are with Spanish-speaking countries, with only like, one school in every other country. SIGH.

Dude, I'd forgotten you're in the area! It'd be so awesome to meet you! :D

[such_heights]

Ah, I see - in that case, sounds like a great opportunity!

And absolutely, yes yes, there could be Geek Tours of London and everything.

LONDON. hey, if you are alone I AM COMING WITH YOU DAMN IT. XD

[nekare]

Now that'd be rather AWESOME, wouldn't it? :D

[mon_starling]

... it would... if only I could afford it. XD
