Reply To: UK or US for school?

Thank you for all the different perspectives. I too am not quite up to date with the issues surrounding the LI however I dont think those issues will be enough to sway me from attending school in the UK. In fact I have already accepted a place at Writtle. I was interested in studying abroad because i believe the programs suit my interests much more than most of the U.S. schools. There are some U.S. schools that I did consider but ulitmately my desire to live and learn in abroad was more important to me. The degree will be one type of education and living in a new country and learing new ideas and having access to so many new cultures will a completely different education on its own. I really want to gain access to ideas and examples from professionals in the field on the European mainland as well as in the UK.

My husband is an Irish citizen and can live and work in the UK without a problem. I’m not sure how that extends to me or if it does at all but if I can work in the UK eventually that would be a major plus.

I believe if you work hard enough for what you want it will happen. That may seem young and idealistic but I’d rather go into this profession with a positive outlook and not become clouded in cynicism. Now that I’ve chosen this path and the school I just have to manage to get my visa! A whole other adventure!
