Hi everyone,

   I'm applying to several schools in the UK, and was curious if anyone had any first had experience or at least some second knowledge of what some of the better universities there are to attend for international relations or politics in general.  I have been looking at Bradford, Birmingham, Warwick, Oxford (may be out of my league, but hey, why not try!), Nottingham, Essex, Kent, and York.   Thanks,
~Rich

London School of Economics has a VERY good reputation in these areas.

I just applied to the Univ. of Leeds for international studies if you want another place to research
Sometimes I feel like an alien in my own country

Thanks, I'll give it a look, for I have been looking at Bradford, and Leeds is just a skip away.
