I'm in my 2nd year at university taking a degree in Biology, specialising in the evironment, conservation and other green-type aspects. If I get an upper 2:1 or a 1st (which I will, I'm clever like that), I'm planning to take a Masters in Environmental Law, which will hopefully lead to a nice little career where I can actually work for what I believe in.
Ideally I want to work with the European Union to help formulate environmental policy, but that's a long way away.
Anyway, the point of this topic is this. I'm bored of this country. Really. I want to take my Masters in a different country. Unfortunately, I didn't realise this until about a year ago, so I'm not language-enabled. Expect for English, obviously. My university offers free Languages for All courses, so I'm about to begin French, hoping to buff up my GCSE 'skills' and work from there.
Oh yeah. Back to the point. Which is this. Has anyone studied abroad at all? I'm thinking USA or Australia. Preferably Australia. Two unviersities I've had a look at (on the web) and like the look of are the University of Sydney and ANU Canberra. Top two universities in Australia, apparently, so I'd have to get a good degree to get into the course.
I was just wondering if anyone had any tales of study abroad to relate to me? Just interested really, but any pointers or wise-like-an-owl words would be appreciated. Ta

Yeah, US would be cool.
I never had that option but I fancy learning a new language and living in Europe somewhere.
I was going to travel this Summer so might as well study there a year anyway.

USA/Aus would be a good place for the reasons you've already said, one of them being no real language barrier.
Another is the fact that everything is so cheap over there (well in the USA anyway, not sure about Australia), our country is so damn expensive.

I've been to most European countries, and I'm fairly sure the lack of language skills would hold me back.
I'm planning to live in USA/Australia/Canada (i.e English-speaking nation that's not here) permanently, so I thought university might be the best way in.

On a slightly unrelated note, today I had the mock for my French speaking test and it went very, very well which is surprising considering how poor my spoken French usually is (in comparison to my written French anyway). I know it doesn't effect you lot in anyway but I'm happy about it and I feel like telling you.

I'm going to Germany to study for my 3rd Year.
My University is providing me with free language lessons, I get a fairly decent grant (£500-£1000).
And, erm.
Should be fun.
