Another question post...

[rurounihime]

This one has nothing to do with HP and everything to do with colleges in the UK.

I am looking into various grad school programs in the British Isles, and I am wondering if you, my lovely f-list, can help me out...

If you do or did attend school at these universities:

Leeds
Sussex
Newcastle
Kingston, London
Bangor, Wales

...what did/do you think? Now's the time to tote your school! Even if you didn't actually attend school there, but you know something about these places, please comment. I want the opinions of my peers because, as much as I love the prospectuses (prospecti?) I've been receiving, of course each university is going to talk itself up. So I want candid opinions on anything: living arrangements, scholarships, financial aid, professors, the cities and areas nearby, travel within town and to other towns, and of course... THE ACADEMICS.

Thanks so much everyone! This will be really, really helpful to me. ♥

Oi, flame, I'm on YiM under the old spelling of my name... I think. I'll get it installedon the laptop. Ru knows my YiM if I've got it wrong.

Hehe! I've put in an add request to that name - let me know if you don't receive it.

Hey Lus? Can I ask you a quick Brit-picky question?

Is there a specific term in the UK that is the equivalent of the US's "durable power of attorney"? (The person who would make all medical decisions for someone else in case of emergency or catastrophe, should the someone in question be incapacitated in any way. For example: if someone were in a coma, their durable power of attorney would make the decision to keep them on life support or not.)

We just call it 'power of attorney'.

Hahaha, seems simple enough. *laughs*

Thanks, love.
