Im gonna go crawl in a hole for awhile... Please Help

[aphex]

After WEEKS AND WEEKS of waiting, i just found out that i got denied to go to Melbourne, Australia (RMIT) in the fall. 8 people applied and only 5 got to go... So i guess i got the sh!t end of the stick. I even had housing set up and everything. I guess im open to taking suggestions on other places to go to study abroad, any ideas?

EDIT: Here's a list of the schools i can go to...

 

[b0mbrman]

Barcelona and London were pretty cool...

 

[pyonir]

if i had a choice, i would take Ireland or Northern England or Scotland.

<< Barcelona and London were pretty cool... >>



Unfortunately the closest place i can go to England is Wales....

Spain is an option i guess... i dunno...

Barcelona is very cosmopolitan for Spain...the rest of it isn't nearly as exciting

(Except for Ibiza of course )

 

[Koing]

sorry to hear

Heres a list of the schools i can go to....

All except UMIST (Manchester, England), their not accepting any students the semester i want to go...

Do *not* go to Valencia if you go to Spain...I repeat, do not go to Valencia :disgust:

 

[pyonir]

if i was gonna pick from that list i would either go to Wales or a Scandinavian country (Finland etc).

My roomate's gf did a year abroad here, and loved it.

I'd probably go to one of the Carribean schools or one in The Netherlands, personally.

Aston U. (Birmingham, England) <--- Anyone ever been near this area?

good

Birmingham is a dump don't go there, it's a pity you can't get into UMIST as Manchester is a cool city.

Of course I'm a little biased

 

[fatalbert]

sorry about that,

but on topic, I hear that England is a great place to study,

I've got 3 or 4 friends there now and they seem to enjoy it

Is Birmingham seriously a dump?? Damn.... I really wanted to go to UMIST but weve sent SO many students over the past few years, were 'banned' from sending any for almost 2-3 years... What about Leicester, England?

 

[pyonir]

i studied in England, for a couple weeks only though. it was a UK trip. i liked northern England, didn't care much for anywhere else though...especially didn't like Liverpool or London.

 

[DnetMHZ]

I'd have to say Milan, Italy.

 

[Haircut]

I personally don't like Birmingham, it is just to dull and depressing.
I know someone who went to Aston University though and he really enjoyed it.

I have never been to Leicester, so I can't really comment on what it is like there.

May want to give Sweden some thoughts.. if not for the school, then for the Swedish babes! Uppsala is only a couple of hours of drive from downtown Stockholm. And I've "heard" you can get some good quality weed in V&auml;ster&aring;s which is only about an hour drive from Uppsala.

English is being taught from 4th grade and on, so about 80% of the people there will understand English.

otherwise, this is all you need to know, "Du och mej. Min plats."

How about Isreal, Pakistan, India?
