Yeah, I think I'm most interesting in the UK, or Australia (no new
languages required). I don't mind the rain, I think it's rather
pleasant, and I don't even own an umbrella (which is sometimes a
mistake) because I prefer to walk in the rain. Problem is, I only know
about Cambridge and Machester, since I'm an arrogant Yankee.

Hmm. Well, there's also Oxford (half of the infamous 'Oxbridge'), of
course... two other names that come to mind are Reading and Warwick, but
since I'm most interested in technology-related thingamajigs, I might not be
that good at coming up with good universities for your own interests. Hrm.

Hope you choose well. *nods*

Google is probably the quickest way to mention all the best UK Universities
for your field since we have quite a few

Oh, I don't know how much I really trust university websites or
rankings or the like. Sometimes, I stumble across a program with a
very insightful website that differentiates its program from others,
but mostly it seems that the programs are pretty much the same just
looking at their websites. It's not my plan to mail every university
from that google search for more information detailing their program.
Nonetheless, I do at least have a few more to check out now. I
remembered that a fair number of people here graduated or went to some
good foreign schools, so I thought I should at least ask.

Sounds like what my sister is doing (she studies biochemistry, master
and had an awfully thick and heavy book about immunology last semester).

Check out <www.vu.nl>! Their computer AI is also pretty good as far as I
can see. I studied there for a couple of years (but couldn't finish it
because of some irrelevant issues).

Maybe you should mail me at t.j.boschloo/at/hccnet/dot/nl and I will
give you her e-mail address so you could ask some questions yourself. I
think she would enjoy that

The 'Vrije Universiteit' is a nice small university with lots of
teacher/student time. There also is a kind of campus called
'Uilenstede', but that is also rented to non-students these days. And
Amsterdam is a great city with a great night life of course!

Regards,
Thomas

Ee, Australia! Come study in Sydney ^_^ (That's where I live, whoo.)

I dunno, our unis aren't particularly prestigious or anything, but IMO
Sydney is brilliant. Lots of good restaurants ^^;
