Who went to University ?

[John Dorian]

I I'm going in September to Chichester Uni to study Sport Therapy or Sport and exercise science. Who else has gone and if so what one did you go to and what did you study ??

 

[Cian]

DCU Computer Applications in October. Just need to get a C3 average in my LC (A levels).

Somehow I doubt thats a problem

 

[Muzzman]

I went to Chi too. Far too many drugs and alcohol.. which was a good thing.

 

[ShorehamGull]

Yes, completed a degree in Internet Technology back in July 2004 at Portsmouth University

 

[Gully]

University of Life.

 

[Hilton]

In my first year of studying Meteorology at Reading. Very interesting, but getting really really hard now. 8 hour assessment set every Monday to be done within 24 hours, 5 hour practical on Tuesdays, 10 hours of Maths work a week, and 25 hours of lectures.

Needed 2 A's and a B in maths and physics at A-level.

Didn't think the first year was meant to be like this

 

[Lady Bracknell]

I did a postgraduate course at Chichester - although still can't take it being called "University College Chichester" seriously. It's Bishop Otter College really. Innit?

 

[Theatre of Trees]

Did my PGCE at Chichester, my Masters at London and my BA at Manchester.

Not bad for somebody who left school at 16 with just two O levels.

Is it traditional to go to college as far away as possible in the UK?

I'll be driving from home every day - DCU is about 45 minutes away cross country, 90 minutes public transport through the city. Very few people go away to college.

 

[Starry]

I did, three years at Bath and a year at NYU.

 

[Muzzman]

It's a nice place, never had any trouble.. just don't go to 'Thursdays'.. it's crap.

 

[John Dorian]

cheers man ... did you live at chi ?

yeah i spose it is ... although chichester isnt far away from home (st.leonards) only about and hours drive but i need to live away from home so i can gain that extra bit of independence .... now im a man !!!!

 

[Muzzman]

I lived in Chi for 3 years, working in the evening in an italian restaurant and then studying during the day.

 

[clapham_gull]

Manchester University about 12 years ago. Utter waste of time academically, but a good laugh (back in the days of proper grants)

You only get the proper experience if you live at least a year out of halls in a proper right old grim student house.

I was up there at the time of that early reality show with the university students ? Remember that ? The girl called "spider" ?

Was it called "the house" ?

 

[Braders]

that will always be the dream

I'm lucky that I already have a fair amount of independence, albeit with an insanely worrying mother...

Been halfway across Europe and she was worried about me going to the play off final because I'd be sitting in Cardiff train station for 7 hours waiting for a train...

Yes, it is traditional to get as far away from home as possible! One of the best possible reasons to go to Uni many of us would say!
