I'm actually considering that! Where exactly do you study? I feel like around here they teach us too much math, but no practical stuff and I would like to give it a shot and study abroad

I'm at Imperial College London. It's great for me because the course is very hands-on (I'm in second year, and so far we've built a compiler and an operating system). If you're into the more theoretical stuff elsewhere might be better, but we're pretty highly ranked at the minute so it's a good degree. Lots of industry links too!

Now that sounds interesting! Thanks for this, I'll be looking for some more info!

Scotland heavily subsidised their courses for EU peeps such as yourself.

Edinburgh University Computer Science: £1820 PA... now that is a steal
