I voted Northern England, because that's where I have lived for 10 years, however, I was originally born in Wales, but I class myself as half Welsh, half English...if that is possible.... :rolleyes:

At least 5 of my closest friends are from down South. If you pick train times carefully, there are Virgin trains going from Bangor that get to the London area in bout 3 hours!

Well, not every single train going is a Virgin one and goes really fast. So yes, I would presume that a normal daytime hour you could get a fairly fast train. They might not run as frequently at weekends or late hours. It is easy enough to check though, and one of my friends from Watford goes home a lot, well not a lot, not like every weekend, but she never moans about the travel.

No problem. Going away from home is such a good idea when you go to uni. You learn to live your life how you want it and you gain so much independance. I know so many people who either stayed at home and travelled to uni etc and ended up quitting and regret not moving away because they missed out on things and didn't feel part of it. In some situations, being involved with uni social things isn't a problem even if you live at home, but sometimes it does and I don't think it's worth the risk. You might as well move away, to a fab place, which is not over crowded with Welsh people (and what is wrong with them anyway) and you'll be amongst friends :biggrin:
