    Haha, really? Maryland is so small, it's usually rare that anyone from outside the states really knows where it is, let alone knows people from the area.

    Where are you from?
    I have friends in Baltimore, Caitlin Hanratty, one of them actually moved to California to do 3D animation (an avatar junkie I suppose)

    From the EU myself (let's leave it at that, cause it's a sensitive matter right now )

    Well, you might have the gov after you, since you're moving to the UK, instead of paying the wonderful US tuition fees it's a bit suspicious

    Haha, I'll be thoroughly impressed with myself when I grow to easily understand the Scottish accent/slang, let alone come up with one.

    In PA yeah? That's a bummer that you couldn't go.

    Yeah in PA, they even sent me their "leadership application" and asked me for my nickname So if your nickname is for instance "The Mailman", Allegheny would contact you by writing "Dear Mailman", thank you for... xD

    I vote Glasgow! But guess you have to consider it a bit, maybe note down the pluses and minuses of both courses/unis/cities?
