text: it's down to two: york or king's college london? york has two scholarships i can apply for (though obviously that doesn't mean i'll necessarily be awarded them). but king's has a deadline coming up! i wouldn't find out about the scholarships until june, what do i do...? i love the idea of york (i spent a year at durham and adored it), but who can resist london? why can't you apply for both? you need to go to both departments and check out there facilities and what the people are like. also, see what you can find out about what research is coming out of each of them. the more they're producing and getting pulished in better journals, the better. its not just about the city, its about the quality of the research you'll be doing.
