JetSet Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 One of the (very few) good things about living in Wales is that you only pay 3.5k per year in tuition fees, the Welsh Assembly will make up the difference for any uni in the U.K . My daughter wrapped up her MA today and has now officially left UWIC Pete Quote

Chris`I Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Quite liked Royal Holloway when I went to look at it, although that was a few years ago now! What others are on the list? I prefered Exeter and went there in the end due to everything being on campus Quote

ioneabee Posted September 30, 2012 Author Posted September 30, 2012 Well - got back late last night and can definately say that RHU certainly looks good on a side note managed 491 miles on 1 tank of fuel (on cruise all the way there and all the way back ) Quote

glrnet Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 At least it's an excuse to do some miles in the Zed Quote
ioneabee Posted September 30, 2012 Author Posted September 30, 2012 At least it's an excuse to do some miles in the Zed yeah true - but motorway miles aren't exactly great fun Quote
rtbiscuit Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Oxford Edinburgh warwick ....so far, still got a while to go all good uni's Quote
glrnet Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 At least it's an excuse to do some miles in the Zed yeah true - but motorway miles aren't exactly great fun It's all in the planning Quote
Chris`I Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Oxford Edinburgh warwick ....so far, still got a while to go all good uni's Edinburgh gets my vote out of that lot, great place to be, and cracking MTB near by too Quote
ioneabee Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) Ok - so the tour continues - this one is set for June https://maps.google....bed&hl=en&gl=uk total 750miles the question is (as if I didn't know the answer) - should I go in the Zed or in the Diesel Honda CRV ?

stuarty Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 If he's looking to study an English degree that's highly regarded all over the world, send him to Edinburgh or St. Andrew's University. Only thing is it's a proper 4 year's BA hon's and not one of those 3 year job's south of the border! Quote

My daughter wrapped up her MA today and has now officially left UWIC Pete In the land of academia, it's free! But you have to study for 4 years and not 3! Quote
ioneabee Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 Edinburgh has been dismissed as the courses contain too much Scottish Literature (no offense intended) - St Andrews is still a possibility (but looking unlikely - unless theres any royalty attending ) Warwick is the next on the hit list after those 2 Quote
