Who here went to Oxford? And who went to a silly university?
 

I'm afraid i went to a silly university
but it had its advantages because too much education can make you mentally backward. (or whatever he said)

They didn't have any places for a smart, I say a smart Rooster, they said I was to low in the 'pecking' order
Boom Boom !!!

I didn't go to Oxford, but a top 10 uni yes.

Anyway, a "silly" uni isn't even silly, it's just more vocational which is arguably more useful.

Vocational, does that mean you go in your holidays!!!!:thumbs:

i can tell you went to a silly university

Uni is stupid unless you know what you want to do and are set on it

If you just get a degree because all your mates do then just go into a standard 9-5 like 80% of people do then you're a tw*t.

I live in Oxford 2 miles away from the university. I didn't attend the uni but my nephew is there. It's certainly in the top 5 best unis in the world. Even President Clintons sent his daughter there.

So old Bill Clinton splashed out to get her there then? lol:xyxwave:

I go to Trinity which is the top college in Ireland. It's got nothing to do with anything though.

ooh get you

Freddie isn't doing Oxford any favours. What did he study?

I nearly fell of the chair laughing when Sree came out with that gem. To compare Oxford uni and Hertfordshire uni shows exactly how clueless an idiot Sree actually is. I hope he stays in for a few more weeks cuz without him the show is rather dull.

Cardiff is far from a stupid university Sree *huff!* but I live in Oxford so I must be special

Im at Uni of Leicester :)

Philosophy, Politics and Economics

lol ...I read that out in Freddie's voice.

Oh wow I went to a UK top 10 university BUT clearly not as clever as Freddie lol he did Oxford!!!

Queens in Belfast, me!

I went to Leicester Poly. Definitely NOT a top ten uni.

I'm undecided about Uni, might go next year. If I do I'll go to Aston or Birmingham though, I could have gone this year but I didn't want to.

I've just looked at the league tables and their both in the 20's out of 114 so that's not bad isn't it?

20's is good.

When choosing a Uni, the most important thing is the course and that you know that course is for you. If you can get a good degree for a lesser well established Uni then its better than gettin a third from a top 10 uni IMO.

I did my bachelors at Coventry Uni - Not even in the top 50. But i got a first. Im now doin my masters at Uni of Leicester. Its in the top 15. But what i realised is that gettin a first at Cov opened many doors for me, regardless of the reputation of the Uni.

Ahh I'd love to go there, I'd need irish though :sad:

Unless you know what you want to do with life its pointless going. Otherwise you'll get into debt for nothing and have a degree that is essentially worthless. If you apply for a job unrelated to a degree (which is inevitable if you just go to Uni for the sake of it), the thing employers look at is A Levels, degrees become irrelevant.

I kind of disagree with you there. Any degree you do, there are valuble skills you learn which you do not from doing just A-levels, and thats what can set you apart from other candidates. But yes, I agree that you must have a career direction to get the most out of a degree.

I don't think you need Irish for Trinity anymore. It depends o what you want to study!

:cheer:
