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.

      Surprise! Wait… Surprise Again! Kon Looks Really Good!

      By t96 · Posted

      Ehh, new front office has 2 drafts under their belt -- Salaun draft class was really a horrible class in general, but Salaun has started to show some of his potential and KJ Simpson not bad for a 2nd round pick. This past draft clearly looks like it was knocked out of the fuging park obviously with Kon but also Sion and Kalk already contributing in somewhat big roles for late round picks. And McNeeley has shown potential and lit it up in summer league, seems to be doing well in the G league for a young guy too.      As for this season I think a very realistic goal and outcome of the regular season is sneaking up into a 7 or 8 seed and then winning 1 of 2 play-in games to make the real playoffs. Probably get cooked in round 1 but that playoff experience and establishing that expectation of winning is critical to the development of our young core.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.

      Shedeur makes the Pro Bowl

      It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
