Graduate School?

I'm doing my MLitt (master of letters) in art history at St. Andrews, in Scotland, and am loving it. Overseas tuition is lower than what I'd be paying in the US and who can beat living in a town with castle ruins 2 minutes from my building. And the really brilliant thing about postgrad programs in the UK - none that I applied to required the GRE!! (And I applied to Oxford, U. Sussex, U. Edinburgh, U. Kent at Canterbury, and St. Andrews - and was accepted everywhere).
I would encourage people to apply overseas - there are really great programs everywhere and I have had nothing but positive things to say about my experience so far.
Yikes - now I have to start thinking about my PhD applications (master's degrees here are only one year)! The fun never ends in the life of a permanent student.
Good luck to all applying for graduate school this year!

Been seriously considering doing another Masters or PhD at St. Andrews or Edinburgh... with the expanding Scottish/Gaelic programs there it'd be ideal... but I need to either get an extended leave from the military or get attached to a unit over there.... here's hoping
