Ok guys, need some advice:
I've been offered places at all my taught Masters (English Lit) options, including Oxford Uni and Edinburgh.
I'm already living in Oxford (undergrad at Brookes) and could easily just move down the hill.
However, I've heard some dodgy things about the 1900-Present strand at Oxford and am also concerned that since I'm not funded at Mst level, getting funding for Phd level will be tricky...
But what about Edinburgh?? Anyone know the prospects for Phd funding there? I've looked online and their current Phd students seem to come from an array of backgrounds and other Masters (ie not just Edinburgh) which bodes well...
Ultimately, if you had to choose (and pay!) to go to either, which would you go for in order to stand you in the best stead for Phd funding next year??
(FYI, two of my other places are King's College London and York Uni, but the idea of being tres poor in London does not now appeal...and York may be too small and uninteresting, but this is wholly unfounded, just a guess!)
