exsequarO flist! O magnificent, multi-national, diverse-perspectived flist!
I am trying to decide where I want to study abroad.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to do this program called TASSEP (Trans-Atlantic Science Student Exchange Program) because it costs SO MUCH LESS than normal Study Abroad programs, and it's exactly what I want in that you're just enrolled in a foreign school as a normal student.
So the choices are rather limited, both by schools that participate in this program and ones where they speak, y'know, English ;)
In a nutshell, it comes down to these three choices:
Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland
Lancaster University in Lancaster, England
University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland
Now, my lovely European friends (and anyone else that happens to know anything!), tell me what you know about these schools - reputations, strengths, anything about the cities they're in... anything that will help me to make a more informed decision. They all HAVE Biochemistry programs (that's my major) so that isn't really a concern, but if you know anything about how strong they are in the sciences that would help too!
Aaaaaand... go! :D

Glasgow is where I briefly considered going, mainland, which is a plus, and scotland, which is nice. But cold. brightonsnotascoldyouknow
Anyway.
Dublin? You'd be water away from me! And have a totally different currency. Other than that I know nothing about it.
Yes, mememe is a big factor in
