I understand...Part of me would have liked to have gone for that whole Oxford/Cambridge/Durham thing, but i know I would have hated it. I love being around creative, interesting people. What really made the decision for me was hanging out with my friend (who is in Cardiff Uni) and being really unimpressed by the students. I always thought Uni would be full of interlectuals and i could sit all up talking about obscure music, listening to Glenn Branca records. As it turns they are a bunch of boring dumbarses that know nothing outside of who won Big Brother. This Uni seemed to be different and seemed to be attracting (mainly because of the Art, Drama and Music courses) people who hopefully will be a bit of fun.
