I don't know much about Wales at all. I have an acquaintance who lived there for about a year, maybe two, but I haven't had the opportunity to ask her about it, so this is wonderful. Thank you for commenting!
What have you heard in terms of bad things about the staff at Bangor? I am interested in the writing opportunities, but I think any information is helpful, especially in the regard of the professors and instructors.
I am definitely curious about how... well "cut off" (for lack of a better phrase) Wales is from everything. I have heard that the countryside is fabulous, and I tend to agree. ^__^ But I definitely would shy away from not being able to travel readily, or go other places with relative ease. What are your thoughts on that front?
I, too, am used to small lectures and seminars. I was spoiled in college because I went to a communtiy college (where it is VERY one-on-one-oriented) and then transfering as a junior to a four-year university, which allowed me to skip most of the huge lecture classes that the freshmen and sophomores usually have to take. So that is of interest to me, definitely.
Newcastle has been getting The Vote so far, it seems. ^__^ Lots of people like it! That's nice to hear, and very helpful. (And yeah, I think possible unreliability is just part and parcel to pub trans in any city, often enough. ^_~ )
Your ramble was very useful, thank you for it! And yes, I would love to hear about the Student Union at your uni. Would you consider it fairly indicative of how other unis run their student unions, or it is unique? I haven't ever really belonged to a student union, at least not one that I took active participation in. So I am curious about general things... anything you can tell me would be welcome.
