Hey, thanks for the replies! I currently go to the University of Melbourne. I looked it up, and Melbourne is actually technically bigger than any of the UK cities except London, although it's very spread out, so I think somewhere biggish would probably suit me. The student village atmosphere sounds nice, but it always frustrates me when things close really early, because I tend to wake up late, and do things late. I like going out quite a bit, so Manchester appeals to me in that respect. The only thing is that one girl I spoke to said it doesn't have as much of a community feel, because it doesn't have a proper campus, is that something that you found, or just that person's experience?
London does put me off by being expensive, someone at Holloway said it wasn't too bad, because it's just outside the city, but I think I'd rather spend the money on something else, plus I kind of think it'd be cool to learn about a smaller place, get to know the atmosphere of somewhere less huge than London, if that makes sense?
I guess the medieval town things is kind of cool, but then Manchester is kind of cool in it's history of being the centre of the industrial revolution. I dunno, I find something cool about the whole Northern industrial thing.
I didn't realise that Bristol was a posh, historic, uni, the only thing I knew about Bristol was skins, and I'd heard there were a lot of chavvy types around there, so I guess that changes my attitude a bit.
I think that makes me think it'll be between Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham, or maybe Edinburgh. I went to Edinburgh last year and it was just so pretty, it's hard to knock off.
