Livre d'Or

Hi Ashley, nice to meet you. It's gratifying that Google pulls up my journal on such a general search.

I am not the most relevant person to talk to you, given that I'm a science grad student, working in labs at the hospital, so I have very little involvement in campus life.

Anyway, what can I tell you? I came to Dundee for the research, knowing nothing about the place, and by total fluke I turned out to love it. It's very friendly, very cheap to live here, and the landscape is stunningly beautiful (which is not well known, a lot of people don't seem to know that there is anything worth seeing between Edinburgh and the Highlands).

Compared to other towns of comparable size, there's a reasonable amount going on here culturally etc, though I think people wouldn't come to Dundee specifically for the cultural life. But if you're a metropolitan at heart, it's very accessible for Edinburgh or Glasgow. The university itself is fairly cosmopolitan; you'll certainly meet a fair proportion of fellow Americans.

I don't know, what do you actually want to know? I'll friend you and then you'll be able to see my contact details, you're welcome to talk to me by email or IM. Or we can carry on talking in these comments, if you prefer. Go ahead and ask me some specific questions!
