I would stay where you are if your happy there. If the school in the manner mixed? If not, would you really want to board with alot of guys?
bring the vasiline if so. No one likes a cock fest.
LOL, no it's mixed (residence too is mixed) so it's not a problem that way
But yeah i agree that happiness is more important than education, however, I might have a hell of a time there, or i might not. But no matter what it would most likely make my life easier in the future. But nothing is certain.

Congrats. You've just been let in on one of the best kept secrets of TA. This thread has provided me with more laughs than any other thread on TA (except perhaps "Oh my god", but I only found that through this thread, so...)
St_Andrew: I guess that the education that you're finishing is the one that will grant you access to bachelor and master studies at universities? In that case, I suggest that you figure out whether you want to pursue that route, and if so, what the formal requirements are for getting access to your dream studies. If it's anything like in Denmark, the school you graduated from doesn't matter at all (just like your current grades won't matter when you have your bachelor's degreee, and your bachelor's degree won't matter when you have you master's degree, and your master's degree won't matter once you have your ph.d. degree), so you can ignore the "reputation" part in your deliberations.
So, if I'm right in these suppositions, you should only choose this "famous" school if it provides a more competitive environment and/or more challenges for you. [rant]Back when I attended pre-uni school I was studying with both smart and stupid people, and of course the exercises and material were aimed at the stupid ones. I quickly found out that I could get by without doing any exercises or reading, but just by listening during class. Of course, while this was sufficient to let me pass the classes, it was such a shallow treatment that I remember very little today. Had the exercises been challenging and the material thought provoking, I think that I would have put an effort into it, and I would probably remember a lot more about, say, ancient Hellas today than I do.[/rant] The point of this rant is to remind you that there is such a thing as intellectual satisfaction from being challenged, and it is crucial if you're learning to learn, rather than to get a diploma. And if this school you're talking about is a school for the elite, it might mean a more challenging environment, and this is an aspect you can't ignore.
Made sense?

right, so i know i don't want to live my adult life in this country, but i don't know where i do.
so, i'm trying to think of ways to travel to various places, test the ground in each, like 2 monthes or more for every place i check out, that will cost the least money.
the first idea that came to mind is probably silly, but who knows:
how practical is it to go about getting a scholarship (philosophy), and then spend the entire semester doing what i really want to do (which is getting to know the place, making music {as always}, building a local scene, etc etc) and getting the scholarship cancelled at the end of the semester?

Were your parents born in Israel? If they weren't can you get a passport for their home nation and move there?
Oh and if you want cheap avoid the UK at all costs!

the state of affairs is sad.
my father was born in the uk, and so i have british nationality, but as you said, it's too pricey.
my mother was born in russia, but i don't fancy the idea of living in a place where regardless of my occupation i have to pay protection. ( preconceptions & stereotypes rock! )

WFT! That's fucking grose and tragic.
