Americans applying to university in the UK

Yes- that Sweden comes first in the phrase! Not that it's the best overall.

And I think the forgetfulness is understandable. I mean, we've been talking about Norway. Sometimes ones mind is just so impressed with the glory of it, you forget about everything else. Don't worry, it happens to me frequently as well. Very bad news when driving.

Darn! And here I was hoping I'd tricked you.

I'll tell you what Norway does have going for it: amazing wilderness! I would kill to visit during my year abroad just to be able to take it all in. More mountains than Sweden, that's for sure. And, I do owe Norway something else, too. When we read Ibsen's A Doll's House, that's when I was first introduced to Scandinavia. I suppose without Norway and dear Henrik, I'd never have chosen it as a subject.

But, then again, Norway was simply a bridge that allowed me to cross over into the amazing superiority that is Sweden.

I kid, I kid. Both countries are highly respectable and superior to all others in the world. Who says they both can't be number one? We'll just leave Denmark out of it because, really, can anyone stand Danish?

Good question! And ohh yes, Ibsen! Excellent. Ironically, I was supposed to read that for my English class this year, but didn't.
I should probably do that before I go.

Have you seen that "This is Norway" video, where the guy with the cute accent talks about all things gloriously Norwegian?

It's all in the genes really come from a long line of coolness.

That was a great video!

Loool, I found it so amusing. And his accent was the cutest thing.

Just wondering..

Hey, guys! I just thought I'd start a thread where we can all talk about, freak out about, and discuss the application process to the UK. I'll start off by introducing myself! I was born in Canada but live outside Atlanta, GA and hope to study Classics/Classical Archaeology. Choices are in my sig.

Since September 1st is swiftly approaching, it'll be nice to have others to talk to as we try and get everything sorted in time to send it out! Looking forward to talking to you all!
