YYYYYY YOU SHOULD APPLY TO GLASGOW EVEN THOUGH YOU'D PROBABLY ABANDON ME FOR OXFORD j/k no, you need to decide for yourself if you want to spend a year in italy BUT IF YOU DON'T PLEASE APPLY TO GLASGOW TOO
yeah I think I'd apply to glasgow and st. andrews but I haven't even decided on that fuuuuuu dgksd;gs'ds'fs
like the thing is I REALLY REALLY want to spend a year abroad and while I'm happy I'm applying to Oxford for a year, I still kind of want to keep it as an option. EXCEPT that if I stayed for an extra semester I could change my major to English or at least have more fun academically so IDKIDKIDK I JUST LIKE. REALLY WANT TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE IN THE UK OR NYC. BUT I MIGHT BE ABLE TO PUT IT OFF UNTIL GRADUATION. I think (nay, know) that Lyss will slit my throat in my sleep if I decide to go to Italy over Oxford.
I think if you're really worried about the friend thing St. Andrews would be a great place to be, because it's very much a university town with a campus & a huge international student population. Also Craig Davis told me that he knew some girls who were very happy at Glasgow so there's that too. It'd be nice to have the two options (city. vs. town)
idk what to tell you about the english major part, how much do you really want to change your major? because if you want to, how hard will it be credit wise to do it? idkidk can you apply to do a year at glasgow? do you want to spend the year in italy or have you let professors/parents pressure you into it? IDKIDKIDK WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT? (not that i could answer this)
why would lyss kill you for going to italy tho?
and i'm sure i'll make friends and stuff, it's just a really big thing to be doing alone and it makes my brain go IEGES;R[AL'ELSLS whenever i think about it :x
Definitely do it! Being alone in a random country is the whole point, and the money is totally worth it. I studied in Rome (my classes were in English, I don't speak Italian at all) and it was so much fun. Super fun and scary and worth it.

SCOTLAND IS TOTALLY AWESOME AND COOL.
'Sides, Glasgow is the home of my favorite band, Belle & Sebastian, and you might be able to go see them perform or something.
