Hello all. I have been reading the forum for a while now..throughout my application process actually. I was wondering if you would leave some answers if i left a question.. I am a masters ecology student and have made it through St Andrews and Imperial College London for a second masters(by research this time) in Ecology, Evolution & Conservation research and MRes Environmental Biology, respectively. My aim was to get into a course where I would learn ecological modeling and one that will create a strong base to then continue on with a PhD. Although I am much too excited about Imperial..I am not confident as to which of the two courses would be a better choice. Does anyone know anything about the two universities/courses/whatever else matters since all my information is internet based. if anyone has any comments i'd be so happy to hear them. Any help..will be much appreciated. I know at the end of the day I will make the decision..but talking about it to people out here who might have a better idea than I would help immensely!
Regards,
Payal

What Imperial campus? They're not all in London, and that might sway your choice. Silwood Park is nice but a long way out, and the Wye campus might still be doing the odd bit, but its pretty much closed down.

I forgot to mention that Imperial is top notch for population ecology stuff, though I don't know about the other places.

hmm..thanks. my offer says Silwood Park. i didn't know there was more than one campus. long way off..well it's a long way off home anyway coz i'm from India..so I don't really know if that would matter make much of a difference.

Silwood Park is a lovely place, just not inside London (maybe 40 minutes on the train?). I just thought I'd mention it, because a lot of people might expect to be right in the middle of London, where the main campus is based (Kensington).

Like me for example. that helps..thanks mr coastman! reminds me of a song eh.
hmm..no one's voted on my poll i see...c'mon! it's not too much..get them clicks in people..git! come oooooon..haha.
