Kapitan_Phillips 09-24-07 09:33 AM

Sorry to say far to many doing that one, here's my advice form a new political party that is not a waste of space and delivers the goods and you will have my vote. Go on KP you can do it, your in the right age group to form one.

Keep the faith brother. :up: The best things in life don't come easy and you seem like a fighter to me. Don't wait for it to happen... Make it happen. Good Luck :up:

Yea he could. :p

Getting back on topic kind of, here in Switzerland foreign students are allowed to work and support themselves, as I did with my DEA (like an MA) here. It can be a great experience going overseas as well as studying with people from different places. I won't say it always makes one more open or tolerant, it can in fact confirm certain prejudices ;), but my own experience back in Canada as well as here was positive. BTW there certainly are exchange programmes between Universities you might want to check out KP, you could start in the UK then transfer over ... anyway just putting forth some possibilities.

And here's what you guys can study here in Blighty.

Foreign students in Britain to be schooled in queuing :lol:

Most of the international students I studied with were in the first category.

I think that was kind of mean of me, lots of international students in America that I know of are also very bright - especially you! There was a kid I went to high school with here in Canada who was awarded a complete scholarship to study at Harvard, so there are plenty of reasons to wind up there.

STEED 09-24-07 11:25 AM

For the record the class system is rubbish and snobbery. Kap, just tell these prats if it was not for you who the hell is going to clear the rubbish.


KP, I wish you all the best and good luck.

Ignore the jerks who treat you that way. Someone has to do it and you get to know the city very well. Anyway I don't work in suit and tie (well usually not) but then I work on my organisations' website so I don't need to be seen by anyone really. I don't wear jeans either though. :hmm:

Hell, you'd be best off shipping out here to do a degree. Foreign student? Here you go, take the front seat, and kick that poor aussie kid out the door as you pass him. Whats that? No english skills? Majority of your class speaks cantonese? No worries, we'll do tutorials in cantonese instead! bugger the white boys!

True story....

Anyways, the fact your missus' old man is a dean helps mightily lots. I can understand the reluctance of the powers that be to make it attractive for foreign students. They wanna keep it inhouse.... go for dual citizenship!!!!!
