I went to a smallish liberal arts college on the East coast of the United States and double majored in English and History. I wanted to go to America because the more flexible education system appealed to me for undergrad and I wanted a bit of an adventure. I liked it that I could take a bit of everything and have the first year to figure out my life and major, as when I first entered college I couldn't decide if I wanted to major in Biology or History. I really support the liberal arts creed and feel like I graduated with a pretty well-rounded skill set and knowledge.

Now I'm pursuing a doctoral program in the United Kingdom (where I'm actually from) in Medieval History. Not exactly the most practical course of action in the world, but I love it.
