I'm beginning to lose hope with looking for PhDs. All I really want is something that I'm interested in and which, ideally, is in the north or midlands. I've got a place at quite a prestigious centre in Bristol, but it's both an area with which I'm pretty unfamiliar, and a long way away, and so I'm probably going to turn it down. The problem is that I like quite a few areas, but none stand out, which can make decisions quite hard. I know I really want to do a PhD, but I'm getting pretty cheesed off with things.
