I'm about to finish up at App State and I plan on going to grad school in a few years.  Very very interested in doing this abroad, my dream would be University of Durham or  St. Andrews.  Also interested in University of Liverpool, Leeds University, University of Edinburgh, University of Aberdeen and University of Sheffield just to name a few.  Really I'm interested in anywhere, a lot will depend on where I can get accepted at.  I'll hopefully be graduating with around a 3.5 . Majoring in history so that's what my graduate degree will probably be in.  Also interested in topics such as econ (Marxian influence especially), poly sci, etc.  Stuff like dat.  I didn't know if anyone had any experience with attending a school abroad.  I think it would be awesome and you can get some grad degrees there in just a year.  Wouldn't be a long term thing or anything

My cousin graduated from Georgia Tech, and did a year abroad at a sister school: https://www.strath.ac.uk/. I went and visited him while he was enrolled. Glasgow is awesome, Scotland as a whole is awesome. Tons of history everywhere you look, the public transportation system is amazing and affordable, and you can be anywhere in the UK in a matter of hours. Weekend trips to mainland Europe are cheap as well. Their museums put ours to shame, probably because they filled them during an age when it was okay to steal stuff from other cultures because Colonialism. Sucks, but makes for awesome museums. Edinburgh would be awesome as well, but pricier. Good luck!

Yeah, I spent like 3-4 weeks in Scotland this summer and absolutely fell in love so that inspired my interest in possibly doing this.

I went to a small college in London after I dropped out of the University of Miami. I don't remember the name but my History class was 3 people (including me) and took place in the professors office. But it was very interesting to get the perspective of History from a foreign perspective. I don't think I even got a transcript from them.

Maybe it was all a fever dream but I remember the hot blonde. It was probably a fever dream.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
