you definitely made the right decision, meggie. Not that I'm biased or anything.....
I have to admit that I know nothing about UEA, but.......I work at the arts centre at the uni of nottingham, and it's a beautiful campus. Loads of grass, a lake, the arts centre that I work at (professional theatre, recital hall, art gallerys) that kind of thing. It's a really friendly university, and a fantastic place academically. The uni is the 3rd best in the country, after Oxford and Cambridge. And DH Lawrence went here. Nottingham is a great city - voted one of the best to live in in the UK. It's got great shops, great night life, loads of history and Robin Hood!
I love living in Nottingham. I went travelling round the world last year and loved the places I went, but was ecstatic to get back to Nottingham.
here's a pic of the lake and theatre:
Yay for nottingham!!!
