I’m looking forward to exploring some archives, meeting new colleagues and working on the final write-up of my thesis while I’m there.

It will also be my first time in the States, so any tips for a bewildered Englishman abroad are greatly appreciated!

The list goes on. Even for a government with - at best - an incredibly cynical view of both higher education and post-92 institutions, this should be the stuff of basic policy making. What do they think is going to replace this?

Was talking to a friend the other day who is from Plymouth, about the impact of the growth of the University there. Nearly 19,000 students and 2,500 staff.
