I did love living in London, that's for sure. And Kingston really appeals to me in that regard, because it is so very close, yet perhaps far enough removed so as not to break my bank completely. *is still O.o from some of the expenses of living in London*
I agree: I don't think I was putting the size of England into proper context for myself. I have to keep reminding myself that everything is very close, relatively, and easy to travel to. ^__^ I would also be a bit agitated if I got too far away from London, I think, in some respects. I really do love that city, and I like being close to a biggish metropolis, if not quite in it.
I did look into Oxford. The university I went to here in Cali is actually designed after Oxford's college system, so that was a big plus. And I do like Oxford (city) itself a lot, too. Alas, I discovered they do not offer the MA I would like (I'm looking into writing MA programmes).
