American uni student looking for Scottish penpal...

[deadparrot]

Hi everyone,

I'm Claire, a 20 year old soon-to-be college senior majoring in history. I want to apply to the University of Glasgow's MLitt in Material Culture and Artefact Studies for 2008-09, and then use the Fresh Talent Initiative to work in Scotland for two years afterward (and hopefully beyond!). If there's any young Scots around here who would like to chat with a Yank, I'd love to learn more about your lovely country. Thanks, and hope to hear from you!

Hello
If you want to find out more about the perils of looking for a Uni course here, then have a look at the moving/travel fora and do a search for mlejoy (use the search facility at the top of the page). Mlejoy is an American who chose to do her Masters at one of the Edinburgh universities (seem to recall it wasn't Edinburgh itself, and I suspect it was Napier, but can't remember!) She posed loads and loads of questions - you might find it useful to review some of them, to save you a lot of work!
