(Studied abroad for the year to this univeristy in the UK. It's fairly, though it has a high ranking, which goes to show what that ranking system actually amounts to. Let's hope I graduate on time, considering how royally this school has dicked me over in regards to the classes I weren't able to take, despite being promised them when signing up as a study abroad students
Also, if you go to four different universities for your four undergrad years, who issues the degree? Your post got me thinking. I guess it'd be the final year institution, never thought about that before.
Hahaha, that sounds like me and my boyfriend; half the reason I did the year abroad was because it would be a good way of spending time with my boyfriend for 6 months while still working towards my degree. It definitely is worth it, even though I'm not a huge fan of this university or the area (I seriously wish we could have studied in Ireland together instead of the south of England - or even just studied in the midlands or up north. Reading sucks. XD)
I think it'd be the final year institution. I'd seriously love to try all four years at four different places, but that'd be even more of a pickle of a course credit situation than the one I'll probably be in once I return home.
I really like the spirit of the new university I'm hoping to go to; when I went there to just take a gander around at the beginning of the university year (before I left to go to England), it was so energetic and it looked really vibrant and spirited, even for a university that is a good deal commuter. Plus, can't beat $6,000 a year in tuition with a stick, unless I get a little bit of scholarship money too along with acceptance.
