I'm in the process of very seriously examining that decision. It's extremely complicated, weighing what's most important to me - the fact that it's DUBLIN and I KNOW I will be happy there, or the fact that I could probably get a much more prestigious and personally-tailored PhD project over here in the states. My head hurts.
Mine would too... *cuddles and provides cookies*
The thing is... you may always regret it if you don't go to Dublin. You may not - the perfect degree for you may sway it.
For me, though, I'm in Cardiff over Oxford because I preferred it here. Waaaaay less prestige, sure, but I'm having a ball nonetheless. Maybe for post-grad, who knows :P
Equally, how much more prestige/credit/good-looking-on-a-CV-ness would you get if you had that international flavour to your degree?
Whatever you decide, many hugs are coming your way, and tbh I need to come Stateside before too long anyway, my cousin's complaining that I haven't been to see her in too long, so yeah, obviously I'll need to visit you if you're still there :P xxx
