Manchester Engnland ENGLaaAnd
There's KFC in Brum 😛
Posted by Claro de Luna
The University of Manchester has a good reputation, but Manchester is our student capital so there are several other unis in that area.
Nobody seems to like Birmingham, but I've never been there personally so I can't back that up. I think it has a bad rep.
bad reputation in what way?
Just teasing you as usual..good luck with your plans. Finding a good job in Germany is much easier btw, though obviously you'd have to learn German first.

interesting.
did you share this because i'm american or because i'm black? oh that's right, you could've just as easily said mcdonalds so yup...you're just a racist, condescending, ignorant asshole. not a surprise really, but back to me...
LMAO
ugh, and i'm forgetting why the UK was chosen. the schools are ranked better and the ones in france that come remotely close are expensive as hell.
i considered manchester, but there was something about the intake process/tuition that was off-putting...even though the rank was better. will have to check it out again.

@MzSag, I wanted the time to further develop my language skills. so visiting won't cut it in that department. plus it's a little further south so although the weather still sucks in comparison to here, i ASSume it's better than the UK. not looking forward to the weather at all and people that i know who've moved there complain about the taxes...a lot.
If there is one thing that is going to be good for you about living abroad and experiencing other countries/cultures is that your perspective on many many things is going to be expanded and as such some of your fixed views on a large number of things are going to be challenged (what I mean goes well beyond the usual "cultural shock"), and as Taurus you most probably dont deal well with change, so be prepared. Take it from someone who has lived in several countries.

I think permanent residency over here is something that can be hit and miss, last I read of it there was a stupid test that had questions on life in the Uk, I dunno if being American you'd have to take that, but I definitely remember the questions being in the news as plenty of Uk people wouldn't know ssome of the stuff on there.
i think that's the case everywhere. there's a test here too and i think most citizens would fail miserably.
still upset about the french university loophole though.
i assume that if you're naturalized, you are then an eu citizen as well and can reside/work anywhere?
universities there are waaaaay too expensive.
Catfish man cool with being a Manc lad?

Why don't you come to Australia and live with ME!
Ill buy you a pet kangaroo!
The UK is freezing. I couldn't handle it.
Good move though. Get outta USA and its shitty economy.
ehh...read too fast and trying to send email inquiries simultaneously.
either way, it's too expensive where you live and the university's dont exactly have the best ranks.

yes, because americans, including myself, have never traveled/lived outside the span of 30 square miles.
I have a part-time position in the travelling business so that's how I know that most Americans dont even have a passport, draw your own conclusions.
have you ever considered that traveling within the states would be no different than traveling within europe?
unlike travel within europe, travel within the states and its territories does not require a passport. and up until recently, a passport was not required for canada and mexico.
thus, your going from madrid from whatever hole you crawled out of is no different than someone from NY visiting Washington state. in fact, the expense to you and them would be virtually identical.
i thought you were intelligent?
just because there's a common language, does not mean americans don't travel outside of their borders. and damn sure doesn't mean they don't travel worldwide. if we didn't, you wouldn't have a job...part-time or otherwise.
but hey, you're euro trash and a known racist so your being a xenophobe doesn't come as much of a surprise either. back to me...

I guess you conviniently skipped the part where I said "different countries and cultures".

It is pretty expensive here, I'll give ya that.
Who needs a university degree when we have the mining industry...
Anyways. I'm off to work. Email me 🙂
will do. i owe you an update anyway. gimme a bit, still obsessing over the UK.
soooo, on a side note, i found a gem 🙂 apparently university of manchester may offer waivers on their entry requirements and if so...AWESOME!
somebody tell me about manchester!!!!
yes, canada, mexico, puerto rico, us virgin islands for example, these are not countries and nor do they have culture.
stupid shit.
stupid shit.
You would be shocked to hear that most Americans dont even visit most of those countries you mentioned, but its the truth.
and you'd be surprised that real statistics can't be pulled from your asshole. you might try basing statements in reality and if you did, you'd realize that you're not only wrong, but full of shit...thus, the repeated droppings from your asshole on this thread.
oh and telling yourself that you're intelligent isn't the same as actually being intelligent.
moving on...

Only an ignoramus would think there aren't different cultures within the US. Dude, have you ever been to New Orleans or New Mexico or even New England for that matter? Yeah, different people, different cultural habits. And don't even get me started on Mississippi...
Ig. Nor. Ant.
10-15% of the US population has a passport. That's 35 - 50 million people. Yeah no one travels here. I hate that bullshit.
I travelled from the East Coast to the West Coast...took me as much time and money as traveling from The UK to Turkey...
All I said was most Americans dont have a passport, my point stands.
The other stuff you mentioned is based on incorrect deductions by caligula, not mine.

Sorry, stats do back up my claims. Besides, since you're the American here, you should be the one who is more up-to-date with those stats than moi, but as it turns out..I am better informed
ok stupid.

I said MOST Americans dont even visit MOST of those countries you mentioned.

yes, the same 80-90% visit the same place every year. in fact, they're such frequent visitors that they keep ongoing hotel reservations and the staff knows everyone by name and has for decades.
anyhoo, @IScorp, i lurve Cajun accents. i used to hate NO, but a recent visit there changed my mind entirely. Mardi Gras is overrated, but just a regular visit to the city quarter is soooo awesome.
some...one...tell...me...more...about...manchester. it's only like 2am over there. surely someone is lurking.

I see Shaks point about living abroad, though. Having never left the U.S., I'd be happy to go anywhere outside of here and experience the different cultures and alter some of my preconceived notions about different areas in the world.click to expand
Finally someone with enough brains and who is not so patriotically sensitive and actually got my point.
You mean MancuniaNs? 😛
Hahah damn!

she didnt get your point. she's just as stupid as you are (as the stats revealed). she's the ignorant american who only eats individually wrapped "cheese." plus, you don't have a point stupidshit.
as IScorp alluded, the notion that cultures do not exist within THIS country and that they're varied by region is ignorant. apparently, "culture" to you is defined by language, so by virtue of that, visiting austria and germany isn't really a big deal.
i can get more "culture" in one square block in NY than the average european gets in a lifetime. the reality is, beyond large cities and the novelty of rural life, visiting most areas in most countries would be akin to visiting Utah and Idaho...both of which don't really exist.
You can not assume that the experience of living in a country that has many different cultural influences equals the experience of living in a different country altogether, besides as I understand, you havent lived in a different country for years, caligula.
I can tell the difference because I have experienced both scenarios.

When I lived in Europe for ten years--as an American--I ran into this all the time. Americans don't travel or own passports as some sort of ill-conceived superiority complex. Needless to say, everywhere in Europe I went--viola!--tons of American tourists. This doesn't add up?
Also to travel to France from Germany takes a passport--hence the need for passports. Unlike in American traveling from California to Nevada--same distance--no passport. Also Europeans and most of the world have no idea where places such as Michigan or Oklahoma are YET Americans are made fun of when they don't know where Slovakia is. Not really fair. Is it?

This is not about feelings, this is about stats..
And the stats said most Americans dont have a passport, FACT, just what I said.
Plus your information on travelling within Europe is outdated, travelling within the whole EU is possible for any EU citizen with only their country's identity card.
yes, because you know me like you know your stats.
eat shit.
your arrogance is sad. you look upon the US and do not take into account how large we are and how much larger we are in comparison to europe as a whole, let alone the countries therein.
you also show how much of a shit you are because by not taking that into consideration, you ignore economics. you can visit another country for what, the equivalent of $ 200 bucks? i can cross a state or two for the same amount. but yet, you shit on americans because droves of families of four can't afford $ 800x4 plane tickets on a regular basis?
fuck you and those like you...which is essentially virtually every shit on that hemorrhoid on God's ass known as "Europe."
i shall return when the people that matter can indulge me.
TA!

Its Mancunian and yes i've been to Manchester but I like Liverpool better. 😛
eggzackully!
he chose to ignore everything that has been said because his by nature, his sun is mercury in detriment. he thinks this is "communication." he thinks that he's "playing on words" when in reality, that's just my e-foot in his flat e-ass.
he wants to judge americans for something they don't need. and on top of that says that eu citizens don't need passports which would lead to most of them not having passports either via this little thing called expiration. so is it that american's don't have passports or is he trying to judge americans as a whole? hmm, given the kfc comment, i'd say it's the latter.
so overall, stupidshit, when caught up in facts and reality, is trying to hold fast to a stupid statement because everything else he has said has be ripped apart...sorta like his asshole on a friday night.
i gotta make dinner...chicken, ribs, waffles and watermelon because hey, that's how my people in america do 😛

you and i think alike and given you're a scorp, i really must go. it must mean i've entered the land of "stupid" which is evidenced by your fucked up quoting 😛

hmm...i'm afraid the meat marinated too long and god only knows what it's going to taste like now 😢
which would be akin to americans traveling to canada, mexico and us territories...all not requiring a passport up until recently and if you're traveling by land, you don't need a passport for canada so as i said, point?
hey E-guy, tell me about manchester? based on what was said earlier, it's better than birmingham. do your assessments still stand or are there notable differences.
i need to join an expat forum. dxp as a source of info sounded like a good idea and the sad part, i wasn't even drunk when i was thinking that.
that thought was supposed to come before the quote

on the side of right there are quite a few universitys who would welcome you the cost isn't so much in the schools but in the living exspence.
