Bear in mind that your american (correct me if you are not) B.A is approximately equavilent to british A-levels, when I have my degree i will be on a similar level to you. Plus if i continue to like maths i will get a british MA and a PHD...

Kosmo's English.

And, I think you may be mistaken.
I know that I was applying directly
to graduate schools in the UK,
which shouldn't have been possible,
if this were the case.

Which college?  Which area of mathematics interested you?

I have a friend who got his Ph.D. in mathematics from Oxford University many years ago, at Magdalen College.

I went to Queen's College.
I was more into pure maths when i was at university, Group theory and topology were my favourites.
Nowadays i just do some probability and statistics, which i used to think were boring at uni., and just did the minimum amount required for the course.

Yes, it's a nice city. I lived down south for a while but moved back up here because the housing is a lot cheaper.
I prefer it down south. Better weather, not as many chavs around and London is cool.

i'm originally from london.  i miss some of it like fuck - decent transport, the royal opera house, all the little places that the tourists never see, the multicultural markets, etc. ...

but i'm planning on giving up any pretence at being an urbanite, and finding a little village somewhere, where i can be the resident witch.  :laugh:

Well you have made assumptions about me that are totally wrong.
As for university, it is blatantly obvious where you are, anyone who knew about unis could figure it out. All I can say is i wouldnt want to go to it, i chose not to, not the other way round.

I didnt like the city size (too big for me) and the head of departments odd habits with sticking his hands down his trousers in public...
