	I you have been accepted in the UK, GO!  I have several friends who
have done so and absolutely love it.  In fact, one will be staying
indefinitely as he married a terrific young lady there last August.  It
can be great for CJ, deviance, sexuality, WS, and others -- exactly
which, of course, depends on which school.  My .02 worth.

P.S.  It does NOT rain all the time!  And if you like to travel, the
costs are much lower once you are over there as you may have learned.
