Relief/10

All done except statement and choices. I'm going on a last minute open day this Saturday so by Sunday I should have a good idea.

I currently have 2 definite courses though. Northumbria and Notts Trent. Think my others will be Leicester, Birmingham and Southampton/Derby/Sheffield/Manchester

You do know you already need A's or predicted A's for most of those right...

Me and Forest are repping the Mets

The way I see it is if the city and accomodation is nice why isn't the university? It's the same fucking degree.

You spend around 26% in lectures apparently.

1's more prestigious and 1's more casual, halls will be different but if you're house hunting it will be the same

I might be wrong, but Metropolitan schools seem similar to the state schools over here in that they are okay schools where people go to get drunk and scrape their ways to a degree. There are, of course, exceptions to that rule, but that is just my impression.

In what way will halls be different? (BTW what was your old forum name?)

Yeah our tutor was telling us this, I gotta work with what I got considering I did a BTEC in Public Services though

Glen, mf, I think in this day and age, my tutor said that the 'mets' 30 - 40 years ago were different types of colleges I can't remember the name. obviously the shit ones are there like London Met apparently but she said that prejudice still lingers around, hopefully it's gone in around 30 years though.

I don't think anyone has that attitude to Uni though, I mean some may have more of a good time, but when you're investing nearly £40,000 for tuition costs alone, no-one is there to piss around.

Better Uni's have more money

More money = better facilities, it's that simple

What Fonseca said.


Mets are still pretty crap. I think Manchester Met is the only alright one.

How do you know what he'll need without knowing what course he's doing? I know people at Northumbria, Notts Trent and Manchester and I don't think the 4 of them have an A between them..

Most is a bit much, I was referring to Southampton and Birmingham, they're top 20 between them and they'll want a lot for anything tbh

I didn't stay in England long enough to really understand the the university culture. However, the state I live in is cursed with the most disgusting state schools-the honours programs are okay, but then you have the disgusting students that scraped a 2.0 GPA in high school and go off to study at university, washing hundreds of thousands of dollars down the drain just to get a slip of paper that does not even begin to reflect the lack of effort they have put into school and life in general.

I just think that the modern attitude to university is completely wrong. Even the good students have the wrong attitude-many of them choose their universities based on the reputations rather than whether they think that that school will work for them. Then, of course, the lazy students see university as an opportunity to enjoy a lifestyle of unsupervised law breaking and substance abuse.

"Liverpool take on Young Boys."

The Fox Soccer commentator couldn't have said it in a more homoerotic way if they tried.

Admittedly I'm not from an educated background, I think one of my cousins are at Uni, so I think I'm very thankful for the fact I'm just really looking forward to University.

Foncesca, when you say 'facilities'. I don't get you, I'm going to be in a lecture theatre, use computers and on all of my 5 options I am going to be working abroad for one year at a global organisation anywhere in the world.

Must have missed that. I was despairing over the fact he said "The Spurs".

What don't you get? you're confusing me now

My friend sent off his UCAS application yesterday and got an unconditional offer from UWE within an hour.

Surely shit universities will have worse facilities and their links with companies across the globe won't be as great as others. Like Plymouth uni have a partnership with Nvidia and a load of other big companies. .

I probably would've but have to wait for my tutor to do my reference

I did some research and so do my uni's MMU have like Rolls Royce, Disney and the like.

Hmmm, I dunno, I should stop worrying about other people, apart from one of my mates who also does a BTEC on my course everyone else I know that are going to university are doing A-Levels so they're obviously going to be higher.

I'm not sure if I want to go to Plymouth/UWE anymore for fuck sake either.

My parents announced they were going to move back down London way, because they're bored of the South West, I told them this 6 years ago and they didn't listen, I could've had such a more enjoyable life, I've met great people here but the oppurtunited and location is so much better.

What will be will be though.

I went to UWE the weekend before last and it's really good. Night life was fun too.

Hmm, I'm quietley interested in it, I think it's 3rd choice, I'm not sure what the % of how many offers you actually get from your choices either, how many offers did you get?

Few of my mates go there and some go up on a weekend seems quality, it is in a pretty decent position as well, right on the M5.

How much did you win?

I was half way though making a bet365 account then I couldn't be bothered, but I do seem to have a nack for predicting winners.

I put £2 on Arsenal, Schalke, PSG, Porto, AC Milan and Man City wins. City let me down

Returns were £69.69



Need help finding a song mf's. It's played a lot in clubs and bars and featured on Geordie shore.

It has a bit of singing in it too from a woman who sounds similar to the girl who sings in that Titanium song. The beat is fast paced like this:

Du du Du du du du du du
DEr du du du du du

I was just presented with a footlong sub from subway. Mah nigga.
