London!
I love the location of my dorm! I don't care if it turns out to be a dump (ok, I do care, but the location!). I'm not there yet; I've been looking at it on Google Maps with satellite. It's in central London, which means it's close to everything and I can chose between four different tube stations which are no more than three blocks away, so if I can pick one with the line I want without needing as many change overs, and I've used one of them, so I'm at least a little bit familiar with the area already. I'm only four stations away from Trafalgar Square, which is one of my favorite spots in London. Although at that distance I could just walk there. I never took any mode of transport when I lived in Chicago. I walked everywhere. (I may be a bit of a walking addict).
I'm also loving how much selection the school library has. They have Borges. And Laura Restrepo. And Terry Pratchett. They have Good Omens in at least ten languages, I kid you not. Why, I have no idea, but who cares? And they have the stuff I need for my research in the original language. My old college library has nothing. I had to get book loans from other universities for nearly all my sources when I was working on my mini-thesis. I'm not used to so much bounty. I actually have the urge to hug someone, literally. That never happens.
