The University thread

[Samuel.]

Thought it'd be good to have a thread discussing our university lives

What and where will you be studying later this month? :pipe2:

[reece(:]

Anyone here going to be 2015 students? :)

[Braden]

I will be, Reece! :)

[reece(:]

I will be, Reece! :)
Yay, high 5 :clap1: what are you applying for? :bigsmile:

[Braden]

Yay, high 5 :clap1: what are you applying for? :bigsmile:

I'm not actually sure yet, something Media related probably.

I applied for Media Communications this year but rejected all offers because I felt like I didn't have enough time to really think about my options.

What about you?

What about you?
I'm applying for Environmental Geography, super nervous though after failing my first year and having to change my college course. :worry:

[Samuel.]

Wish you both luck!

Any 2012/13/14'ers?

[Braden]

You'll be absolutely fine, just give as much dedication and time to your education as you can.

[King Gizzard]

nah you're alright

[Samuel.]

Come to Doncaster Nathan

It's wonderful here I promise

[King Gizzard]

my a-levels were horrible and have probably run out by now

[King Gizzard]

and I don't have a maths GCSE

[Marsh.]

Run out? :eek:

How long do they last? D:

I didn't go through that hell for them to run out! :fist:

[Samuel.]

Sounds like the perfect Uni for you :amazed:

Seriously, one of my friends got in without any A levels. Admittedly quite a good portfolio of music tho.

[King Gizzard]

GCSE's 'run out' after 5 years I think, and I think A-Levels do too

[Ramsay]

[RichardG]

I'm finishing my A2 exams this year but going to take a year out and apply to Uni next year instead. After finding out that the government loans I'll receive don't even cover a years accommodation, let alone food/books etc, I thought it might be a good idea to save up some money beforehand. :laugh:

[Firewire]

Starting second year on the 22nd. Looking forward go going back!

[Samuel.]

Been counting down the days the entire summer...

Out of the three years we're at uni, literally a year of it we have off. Madness.

Going to miss it big time after this year.

It's going to be the same for me, I had 5 months off this summer and will have next summer! Next year I must do something worthwhile rather than just work 2 days a week and do nothing else.

[Brother Leon]

It's **** after the first half of the second year.


Thank you and goodnight :laugh:

no lies spotted

[Samuel.]

First half of the second was tough, second half a breeze. Third years said it gets much better with all the control we have in the final year. Already pre-planned the lot, can't wait :pipe:

Think it ultimately depends on the course.

Have a feeling first half of second year will be easy considering I'm only in two days a week :joker:

[MTVN]

Third year was my favourite year of Uni :flutter: but then I'm just a massive nerd for my course, hence I am carrying on with a Masters from October :umm2:

[Samuel.]

5 months ****! It drives me insane now. Spent almost a year before uni doing absolutely nothing practically and it was easy. Now I can't last a month like that.

Have a feeling first half of second year will be easy considering I'm only in two days a week :joker:

Was the opposite for me, three days first half, two days second. Think it's only two days all year now :worship:

I think I've been pretty lucky to work throughout summer. It's been a mixture of 2 and 3 days per week so it means I can get some other stuff done too. But yeah, I finished first week in April and don't so back to 22 September. It's been a long summer but I'm excited for second year! I'm in Monday and Friday and will be working Wednesday and Thursday so I have Tuesday off which is nice.

Wow. I thought end of May was early :p

Been working for my Grandad during the summer which is nice, but I'm so far away from friends here I've seen them like three times in three months. Stark contrast from practically 24/7 social activity at uni. Lucky enough to be able to stay in halls for all three years.

[Jords]

I had more fun in my Second Year than I did my First Year and got better grades! :pipe:

Im looking forward to my last year but gonna miss university so much, way more than secondary school and sixth form.

[Samuel.]

Freshers week activities announced!!!!

Bus Tour of Doncaster
Health, Wellbeing and Safety Meeting – Pie and Pea Supper

Wow. Masters in what?

[Jay.]

I'd like to be a teacher or work in tv/film yeah so bring it on

[Samuel.]

Who's going this weekend :pipe:

[Jords]

[BBfanUSA]

I love my university. It's a big college here in the states. Only problem is that the neighborhood isn't vibrant because it's getting a facelift and I have to get up at 6 AM to get to a 8 AM class.

[Sophiee]

Me! Off to Exeter
:amazed: my friend goes there! enjoy!

[Jay.]

Omfg really? That's what I want to do and applied for this year, where are you going? :)

Aw, Bournemouth. Where are you thinking of going? :}

That's what I'm studying!

Yeah, I remember you saying haha

I just got my timetable and I'm not too sure if it's good or bad? :laugh: three days a week mostly, loads of gaps. idm it

[Braden]

Aw, Bournemouth. Where are you thinking of going?

I applied for Bournemouth this year actually, along with London University of Arts, University of Creative Arts, De Montfort and Nottingham Trent.

I never replied to any of their conditional offers since I thought it would be beneficial to spend my gap year really thinking about it. I'm starting to like the look of Oxford Brookes right now.

I had no idea you could go to New York for a year at Bournemouth?!

[Samuel.]

I've never been more excited about something in my entire life tbh. Feel like life has been on pause for the last 4 months. Ready to hit play again :dazzler:

[Kizzy]

My daughter goes back on sunday!!!! :bawling: :bawling: :bawling:

[armand.kay]

I'm gonna be applying for bournemouth, ravensbourne, South Wales, Birmingham City and Portsmouth. X
Really exited to go uni next year x

[Bluerang1]

I hate my dorm

[reece(:]

I'm applying Northumbria, Leeds, Newcastle, Chester & York/Liverpool

[Raph]

:amazed: my friend goes there! enjoy!

Oh awesome! Does she like it? What does she study?

[Saph]

[Saph]

Starting second year on the 22nd. Looking forward go going back!

you went to uni last year?

[armand.kay]

some call it magic promo?

Yes I'm taking a BA in Raven studies.

[BBfanUSA]

I live at my parents home since I live close enough to the university I go to. But I have a job now and hope to move out into closer to campus by the winter break. I'm still saving money.

Can anyone here tell me what living in a dorm is like?

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

am at oxford atm xx

Aww, I was really tempted to have a gap year, but didn't really get time to think about it in the end D:

Yeah! There's an opportunity to basically study abroad/do a student exchange programme, they pay for it all apparently and you can choose between loads of universities around the world :amazed:

[Ammi]

am at oxford atm xx

..oh you..xx...there is more to guys than intelligence, you know..xx...and be careful they don't catch you in the residence..xx...

[Ammi]

..really good luck and wishing you a happy year to everyone going back this year..:love:...

[Samuel.]

:flutter:

[Ammi]

..we all expect expensive gifts when you're a world renowned designer and music producer and all round spectacularly rich person as well Samuel..don't forget your roots, we made you who you are..t'is a fact...

[Ammi]

..actually I don't need anything so if you can just spend my share on Nathan and get him a pink pick up truck, a log cabin with amazing internet access and hire Shaun as his butler and general man-servant..and if you could pop Lucy Liu next to him in the pick-up truck, that would be marvellous, thank you....

[Samuel.]

Those are very feasible expectations Ammi, I'll get right on it :pipe2:

[Ammi]

..:laugh:..good man..in the meantime, you have a great year, ok...do whatever studies you have to but have fun and enjoy every minute....

[Samuel.]

Will do, thanks :love:

I liked two of them, couldn't stand the other two

I started getting along with my coursemates a bit more too towards the end of first year.

[reece(:]

Choosing a dissertation topic is the worst when your proposal is due in a week

I got a 66 in my second year... I'm going on a year abroad next year which doesn't count but then that means that in my final year when I return, the worst I can do to get a 2:1 overall is a 54? I can do that! Then I'll never have to learn about history ever again. Good stuff.
