Ah, it's a shame, but obviously go for what you want to do, and if that's a year abroad then go for it
yeah it'll probably be great wherever you go, it's just a bit of research could make it that little bit better
I actually applied last cycle, I'm just lurking around here to impart whatever little 'wisdom' I have to help you guys. But I'm off to Cambridge in a couple of weeks (but if anyone is interested I also applied to Imperial, Durham, Warwick and Nottingham)
