X2 Bhai in another thread I posted the same photograph. NWU campus actually looks better than Warwick's campus in terms of being lush! It's just that it is a hard decision for me!
it always is, u and I actually have this in common, brits growing up in Middle east, deciding whether to go to UK or US for studies. I chose US just because I wanted to experience USA and thougth well i will be in UK for masters and later anyways, lets try something new. Had no idea I would end up staying.
in the end there is no wrong choice, each has its pros and cons, u will do fine
i u averaged 4.0 in all ur courses...thats a great achievement and i commend u on that coz u did that inspite of the fact thair u gives us a lot of time on GS...its amazing :)**
I know tell me about it, I am like supergirl. I seem to handle GS and studies well together! Hand in hand!
I want a campus where I can do some sightseeing or see some greenery because sometimes when I am down, I like to look at nature or photograph nature. LOL 4.0 is not avg, it is the best GPA you can get :p
If that is the case then I would recomend the University of Aberdeen!! Its is right in the center of the Scottich highlands so your only 5 mins ride away from good spanking nature second only to Switzerland!! It does not have alot of desis but thats is probably a good thing! lol

Oh I had no idea you grew up in middle east! That does give us some similarity. See that is exactly was I was thinking, I am a British national so I can always go to UK so I wanted to go to Chicago and experience USA and also because my barrey abbu is there and he wants me to come. I hope I do not end up staying! Who knows I just might love it so much that I would.

Actually I am specifically looking for universities where there is a sizeable amount of desis because I do not want to be homesick. I want to interact with desis because at the end of the day my core is desi and I will be sick of speaking in English all the time and not having or attending any desi cultural events. That is why I thought about Warwick or England and Chicago. Both have a good number of desis.
Then u shud stick with unis is London, north west and west midlands. Maybe Bradford? or Lesicester. Or even better you could go to a uni is southhall!! or maybe Slough or even hunslow! lol u wont need to speak English at all!! It will be like being in Karachi or Bombay! lol

in my case staying was less bring in love with the place than being in love with someone who was here :) plus by the time i got done i realized i had more pals here that i was close to then i had in UK and i was just better adjusted here.
my bros made very opposite decisions, younger bro came here, just like i had planned, did his undergrad, and went back to UK, did his masters there and is happily living and working there,
youngest one was not a fan of US, so did not come here for his undergrad, did that in London, then came to US for masters and then just stayed, although he toyed with the idea of moving back off and on until last year when he decided his career was here and he would be starting from scratch there so why not stay.
paths of ppl like us are very very diff from others...u know, brit childhood, background pak, living in ME..and then moving to yet a whole diff country.

I know, it is different. Even living in Dubai I can feel it, specially if someone asks me where I am from. I always tell them I am British of Pakistani origin, otherwise people get confused later on. I do not have a permanent place of residence in the country I am supposedly from(Britain) so this is why it is hard for me. Well it might be a bit different for me considering I am a girl and I just cannot make the decision of staying forever in USA all on my own. So most probably I will be returning to Dubai after my masters.
Aww ok, so you fell in love with a person from USA! :)

Now I do not want to drop to that standards LOL. I want to go to a good university like Durham or Warwick if I choose the UK at the end to do my masters.
Durham is very picturesk as well! Their campus is probably a tad better than warwick but there are more tensions against black people in the north! Id go for warwick, or oxford. Good luck!!

Yes a friend of mine who lives in the North told me about Durham. I viewed the university, it is very picturesque indeed.

it was a bit easier for us because home was always UK, and we went back every summer or winter, but yes having a place..your childhood home neighbourhood, and all really helps in maintaining a connection.
it is a strong aspect though, helps in this multicultural world. I still recall being an undergrad and being challenged by someone on why I thought i would know life of avg ppl better in KSA, and i had to inform them that I had spent years of my life there.
What did you have for sehri today?! You seem really hyper?!!
**
i ain't fasting :( coz i am diabetic...doc told me not to or else i'll go into coma...i wunder coma meN kia Khaab aate hoNge? hehe**

Yes, however as we do not have a permanent residence, we just go once every two years or so to visit London. Even though I was born there and lived there for a while I do not feel connected to Tottenham, I feel connected to the Middle East because it is where I spent majority of my life up till now.
It is, similarly in my university which is an American university sometimes I get challenged on matters of the UK and then I tell them about my UK connection. It is useful, having knowledge of many places.
Aww! Well Allah knows best! You are diabetic and that is why you are not fasting. Did you give Fidya?
**
indeed...i was told to feed a person for the duration but alHamdolillah i do that year round back home in india and i add one more person for ramadhan. May Allah forgive me...aameen.**
