The University Thread 2007

[Charlie]

I'm sure quite a few of us will be starting Uni/College for the first time after the Summer. So we can talk about everything Uni in here. Got any worries? Not too sure what it's going to be like? Scared at having to make new friends and meet loads of people?

I'm going to Strathclyde to study Marketing and Business Law (+ 2 other subjects which I choose when I go there). Freshers week is 22nd September I think. I'm definitely going to be staying in town, no chance I'm travelling in and out every day. Going to private Halls because I live too close to Glasgow to get into the Uni halls.

www.unite-students.com
Glasgow / Blackfriars.

Good internet connection which supports Xbox live, which the uni halls don't.

[DCK]

Going to University of Twente to study Informatics. Really looking forward to student life. Freshman week starts next Tuesday and I'll be moving over Sunday :)

[My Buttons are Magic!]

university of ulster in coleraine to study media studies
staying in halls because im lazy and i want to make new friends

results on thursday - hope i get what i need to get in like!

[Problematique]

Good internet connection which supports Xbox live, which the uni halls don't.

You lucky chap. I hardly got any gaming in last year.

By the way, if anyone is renting a house from Bannits and you need repairs, phone them every day. And talk to Sharon.

I'm looking forward to this year. Although apparently the work is a right bastard. Oh well. You only live once. Sharking freshers FTW! (lolz, not really)

[Monopolyman]

Got any worries?


If I get the grades to get in for a start. I think I might have fucked up Maths.

But if I do get in, I'm doing Civil Engineering at Liverpool Uni. Freshers week starts on the 22nd I think. Staying in halls, and catering as well. The whole shi-bang.

[Sooj]

I'm at the university of Paisley studying Law and Politics, got my first year results through and I did pretty well considering I didn't do much at all and with those results I have just after gone through clearence for both Strathclyde & Glasgow university.

I really want to do Politics and drop law so I have applied for politics, sociology and social work at Strathclyde uni and will accept anyone of those courses.

Sadly politics at Glasgow doesn't go into clearing so I applied for Religious & Philosophical studies woth secondary teaching.

woo. Hope for the best.

If that falls through then I suppose I'll just proceed to 2nd year at paisley boo :P

[killthenet]

Queen Mary University in London, studying film.

Heading down on 15th September. Looking forward to it, just need to get a job when i'm down there though. Good nightlife, but darn expensive.

[Wesley]

I decided not to go to Uni just yet and try out music... sometimes I think, "Wow... that was a big mistake... I could easily be at Uni now..."

[Sanchez]

Well, I just firmly accepted a place at Robert Gordon's in aberdeen with an insurance of Stirling. I'm doing Computing science.

[Ramar]

I'll be doing my second year at Univeristy of Bedfordshire, studying Computer Games Development.

Currently shitting my pants because my loan is still being assessed.. I submitted my application back in May ffs.

[Mr_Odwin]

I did my BSc at Newcastle - Ace city, uni and students.
I did my MPhil at Nottingham - Ok city, didn't like the uni and students were unfriendly.

[BlueStar]

Finished my degree in Stoke 5 years ago. Went back a few months ago for a reunion. It's still a hell hole.

I was gonna go to Paisley but traveling is to much of a hassle.

Duuuuuddeee.I'm going to Stirling to do Computing Science,should of went there :heh:

[Dan Dare]

it's all about the hull massive.

[Charlie]

Duuuuuddeee.I'm going to Stirling to do Computing Science,should of went there :heh:

Are you going to be living in Stirling?

I was in Stirling on Saturday night, a fair few noombers out and about. Number 2 Baker Street (a pub) is awesome, I've had some (2) very funny nights in there. It's a bit of an old man's pub which makes it even better. One time we met a drug dealer called Paddy and some guy had a push-up competition with him on the floor of the pub.

[Blackfox]

AAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!

[EchoDesiato]

On the 24th of September my life as a student of the Leuven University starts. I'll be studying what is called Japanology here. Yup, that's what it's called, and it's pretty obvious what it's about. I'll be living in Leuven on my own during weekdays as well. Pretty exciting stuff. Holy shit I'm nervous.

[mcj metroid]

my results are out 2moro and im so very worried.:(

[My Buttons are Magic!]

good luck!

i need ideas of what to do on wednesday night to take my mind off it ( may watch pokemon movies to make me laugh)

[KKOB]

University of Manchester FTW!!!!

HEEEY to all ye freshers, wherever you bes. You have a reason to be drunk, constantly, for a week or two. Seize the day me hearties!!

Ah cool man. What do you do?

[Mr.X]

Ah cool man. What do you do?

I do BSc Computer Science with Games Development, its harder than I thought but its enjoyable.

[Charlie]

I went to see my accommodation at Strathclyde today. It's great. I can't wait to move in now!

[My Buttons are Magic!]

i got into uni

[Supergrunch]

So, now I've got my results, it's decided.

I'm going to do natural sciences at Cambridge.

[Daft]

So, now I've got my results, it's decided.

Freaky, I know someone doing the exact same course as you! They're starting in September.

[Supergrunch]

Freaky, I know someone doing the exact same course as you! They're starting in September.
That's cool, same for me... which college?

(mind you, natural sciences is by far the biggest subject at Cambridge)

[Fresh]

I'm off here:

http://www.denishealy.org.uk/images/uni.jpg

[Ashley]

Sometimes I regret not going to a different uni.

Ah well.

[Daft]

That's cool, same for me... which college?

Good point! The name of his college escapes me...:heh:

[My Buttons are Magic!]

the next time im up at coleraine im gonna take loads of pictures
(the ones on the website are pish)

i wonder what my room is going to be like

[Problematique]

IIIiiiiii'd rather be a leper than a tab

Congrats mate :) which college?

[Zell]

Congrats to all those who got accepted to their unis, hopefully I'll be in the same situation next year.

[Supergrunch]

Thanks, it's Magdalene.

(and isn't the Cambridge version of that song "I'd rather be at Oxford than at John's'? :heh: )

[Problematique]

Thanks, it's Magdalene.

(and isn't the Cambridge version of that song "I'd rather be at Oxford than at John's'? :heh: )

Possibly :p to be honest though I dislike the college across the road faaaaar more than Cambridge. They egged our college shouting "Eggs-eter!" I mean come on, it's not an original method of attack nor is it an original line. Well. 5 of them got arrested so all was good. And then I proceeded to throw 50 old pizza bases over the wall into their principle's garden. Revenge is sweet.

[Sooj]

Anyway woo, I got into Strathclyde University's Law, Arts and Social Science faculty woo.

Since I got in I didn't bother about my 2 resits at paisley uni, 1A,4Bs and a C were apparently good enough. Yas :D

Going to freshers week on the 21st. Anyone else going?

[killthenet]

Any other Queen Mary freshers? I move down on Saturday, not looking forward to being poor.

[Haden]

Noone off to Royal Holloway? NE has to keep the tag team going. I joined in 2004 as Johleain old school NE poster left and I will be gone by the end of this year! Damn noone to hand the baton to next year unless someone steps up.

[EEVILMURRAY]

I did my MPhil at Nottingham - Ok city, didn't like the uni and students were unfriendly.
Yeah, but when we met it was nothing short of glorious.

Even though I'm not actually studying at Nottingham, must be because I'm English {Hey-Ooh!} Racist much ¬_¬

DMU Massive for the proverbial win. Tis my third and final year this time around, moving back into my house next week. I'm going to be turning on the charm into overdrive during fresher's week. I need a shag sharpish.

I hope you're going to go see The Venga Boys!!!!

(add me on MSN dude)

Seen the Freshers week line-up? www.strathstudents.com

[Stefkov]

I have to have my personal statement written and sent to my form tutor by tommorow. I havn't a clue where to start, the booklet she's given me isn't that much help.

[EEVILMURRAY]

They were in Leicester last year, I didn't go but I heard from everyone they were shit.

[Noodleman]

I got my personal statement off a website, true story.

[Supergrunch]

I remember looking at the online personal statements after writing mine and laughing at them.

[ShadowV7]

Isn't there someone going to Stirling Uni?

Damn you people not staying in Scotland.

[Calza]

Still got less than two years to go but I was thinking maybe Abertay. I havn't looked at the courses Stirling offers though.

[Cube]

I'll be resitting my first year at the University of Sheffield. Physics and Astrophysics.

[Blackfox]

VengaBoys are shit. And yeah, I've seen them :(

[killthenet]

Moved in today. It be weird so far.

[EEVILMURRAY]

I moved all my shit back into my house. Came back so I can get pissed with some of my work Gringo's. Then I'll hop onto a train back to Leicester, set my shit up, and play some music at high volume.

[gaggle64]

My college recently merged with some other stuff to become the University of Cumbria. Doesn't make a blind bit of difference to me and my fellow art students, but reading in the local press about the almost constant, childish bickering about where to build the new main campus has already provided literally dozens of hours of entertainment.

As far as I'm aware, they've just about settled on an abandoned car park, but aren't decided on which bit should be built first.

Ah thats pretty awesome. I live basically 10 minutes away from the Uni so I'm just going to stay at home, with the parents :D

Yeah, hopefully, can't beat some good ol' cheesey pop songs from like likes of them.

Should be fun. What year are you in by the way?

Where do you live in Glasgow?

[Ramar]

Anyone else not got the letter from the loans company that you take to registration?

I've got to enroll on Thursday and the bastard has not turned up. To make it worse the login on the site is down. I've got a letter they've sent me saying I'll get payments, but apparently they sent me my confirmation letter on the 6th, still not turned up.

[Twozzok]

I have to have my personal statement written and sent to my form tutor by tommorow. I havn't a clue where to start, the booklet she's given me isn't that much help.

Where you gonna be applying for? I just gotta enter my options, and current qualifications to UCAS.

[Fresh]

*Is scared/nervous* :(

Had to hop on a train back. Had a cracking shower Monday, then the next day the hot water seems to have vanished. Plus there was no internet, which killed me inside. Got the train on Wednesday and chillin' with ma homies at home[O_o] till Friday/Saturday, haven't decided yet.

[Sanchez]

Well I've moved into my flat in aberdeen, enroled to robert gordon's.... I'm not sure when I'm meant to select my modules and stuff, my course starts in less than a week.

[Sheikah]

I'm going into my final year at the University of Manchester. Anyone coming here?

[ShadowV7]

Well I've moved into my flat in aberdeen, enroled to robert gordon's.... I'm not sure when I'm meant to select my modules and stuff, my course starts in less than a week.

So hoping you were gonna go to Stirling Uni in the end.

Would of been good sort of knowing someone there :heh:

[Sooj]

Just going into first year. :)

Which year are you in?

Where do you live in Glasgow?

Yeah ditto, first year for me as well. I'll be studying Politics woo :P

I live in the crosshill/queens park area :P

[Supergrunch]

A lot of people are going to university today, right? Good luck.

(I'm going a week today.)

Long time no speak. Hows tricks?

Anyway. I am hoping to and from uni and home (:() and start lecturers on Tuesday (should be Monday but having to miss it). Been to a bit of freshers, and apart from Monday its just been average.

[darkcloud]

Starting my second year of uni in a week, mondays and tuesdays full day with a trip down to the language centre after tuesdays lessons for Japanese course from 5pm-9:30pm. Gunna be a really fun year. :) Anyone else taking a language as an additional course?

[Ashley]

I wanted to last year but couldn't timetable it. :(

[Supergrunch]

I would take Japanese if I could, but you can only a handful of European languages are available at the language centre.

...ah well, I'll continue self teaching it.

[Fields]

Yeah, they do language classes at Durham. I'm going to do Spanish. I'm going into my third (and final :() year by the way, can't wait to get back as it's doing my head in here and most of my mates have already gone back. Only 10 days to go though.

[Blackfox]

My first day back at uni was a 9-5, and I'm spending all weekend doing the work for it!

We also have Freshers and lectures on the same week, lame.

[Supergrunch]

Same for me.

Anyway, I've spent ages trying to sort out really old my bike, which has ended up costing more than buying a new bike...

[Ramar]

My first semester timetable looks awesome. Busy days Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday off, two lessons Thursday and Friday off. Which works out well because I don't have to change my hours at work, which was a concern.

[Stefkov]

Ive found out that it costs an extra £260 a year if I were to do Japanese on the side of the main degree.
I was wondering if anyone else did anything like that and how they're coping money wise.
I've still got a year left so I was just wondering, I want a job to get money of course to maybe save up for this, but I was wondering if it's managable money wise.

[My Buttons are Magic!]

i am so far LOVING my course
only had one lecture and it was a tour of the tv studio :D

computers are really close to where i live(like a 2 min walk!)

only downside is im missing greg :( but hes visiting on wednesday and staying over which is cool! :D
yay uni

[Charlie]

Sooj: Get your ass into the Barony Bar. Seriously, there are hundreds of hot girls just waiting. Been there 3 nights in a row and been with a different girl each time. :heh:

Today was 12 hour Tuesday too which meant that all drinks were 99p!

[Supergrunch]

Well, I had a look at my lecture timetable... I have lectures from 9 to 11 every day apart from Sunday, and then practicals in the afternoons. However, I do have the time to go to the odd intermediate Japanese lecture.

Ah well, I'd better start packing for going up on Saturday...

[uəʌəsʎɐɾ]

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

Got a 'welcome back! now prepare to hate yourself for the next 9 months!' lecture tomorrow at 10am. According to my recent sleeping habits, that gives me about three hours of sleep :(

[EEVILMURRAY]

Haven't started yet, last day of Fresher's Week. Term starts next week. Yay, I get Monday's off but Tuesdays is a right killer.

[Supergrunch]

I'm trying to pack... so far I have got together a 4 or 5 foot pile of books.

[Blackfox]

Woke up drunk today, again. Gotta' love uni!

[EEVILMURRAY]

Start as you mean to go on Dutch. Fight the power.

Sky Mangel's coming to DMU, score!

[conzer16]

Going to New Zealand for 6 months to study =O

Was hoping to get an exchange place in Canada but holy god!! New freaking Zealand!

[Ashley]

My lecutres are well placed. Monday morning and Tuesday afternoon (Monday night is student night so gives ample time to get ready, and recover from the next day) and then Thursday all day.

[Hellfire]

So I got through my first week at uni. As some of you know I have some health problems, so I took a break last year, since 2 years ago I couldn't cope with school and health. Which makes this the 3rd time in the 1st year.
Luckily I already did some stuff on the first year, so now I have a nice timetable. I managed to make monday free of classes, which means 3-day weekend. Waking up at 7 everyday and then commuting to school is tiring though.
I've managed to study a little instead of letting things pile up, but a friend I have entered my school this year so he's always with me. He's a great guy and a great friend, he always wants to help me overcome my problems and encourage me not to skip class, but he's kind of boring. And being with a boring guy 24/7 that always thinks he knows what's better for you and also spends every single second after school at my place is already annoying me. I can't get a minute for myself, whether it's for resting, playing or studying and I'm getting quite annoyed.

But this year I gotta make it, my uni is very very hard, but I'll do my best.

[Sanchez]

Term starts monday.
No classes Monday afternoon, Wednesday afternoon, or on Friday.

I approve. Thinking about doing my second year in Spain...

[Supergrunch]

Well, I've finally arrived here and sorted out my room and worked out how to connect to the internet... it's been fun so far.

[Charlie]

Uni is seriously awesome so far.

Met so many cool people. And, almost every girl is absolutely stunning even without goggles on! There are so many hot girls in my class it's unbelieveable.

Which uni are you at?

I'm at Cambridge... got to matriculate in about half an hour.

How about you?

[Fields]

Yay, I'm going back to uni tomorrow...at last! I've just had a look at my timetable and it looks a bit... sparse. Sadly, the very few classes I actually have appear to be at 9am :(

[darkcloud]

Had my first day of uni today and was quite dissapointed in the lessons we had.... Bleh, hopefully it will improve.

[Ashley]

My lectures so far have all been boring. Except when we watched Toy Story. I liked that.

[ShadowV7]

I have problems with my timetable. My lab sessions with Maths and Psychology clash with each other on Monday and due to my timetables being all over the place, if I move praticals then I will miss lectures. I might have to fail one (maths) to do Psychology.

I'm sure all the maths ones are full for Monday and Friday, have lab sessions on Tuesday and Thursday, Computing Tutorials on a Friday which leaves Wednesday buti'm sure none run on that day.

Psychology lab is every 2 weeks so I can go to that and go to Maths every 2 weeks aswell but these a risk i'll just get an 'X' and fail it. Which I really don't mind :heh:

Hate maths and because of it screwed my timetable.

Is your psychology lecturer called Mrs. Gordon by any chance?

I had my first 'lecture' this morning. The first thing the guy said was "I know what you're all thinking: 'I can't believe there are so many people in the same room that you want to shag'".

What a ledge he is. I'd said virtually the same thing to my friend seconds before.

[ShadowV7]

It's a male that gives our lectures. They change with every topic we do so i'll keep my eye open and see if I hear her name.

And that lecturer of your sounds pretty good so far, better than the jokes my Computing Science teacher tries :heh:

He's awesome. He was just making jokes all the way through. Swears just a little bit to much though.

[ShadowV7]

Well mine has a mustache and makes little jokes about mixing things up like achrinims or however you spell it and how people barely know what happens 'behind' a PC.

And his name is Leslie.

Ahh thats shit, can't believe I missed out on that, honestly, I was really looking forward to it but because of work (its basically freelance but they needed me lol),lack of cash (garage to blame) and Strathclyde screwing up my application I wasn't able to go but no worries its been sorted out now, no idea what happened, so I'm going in to meet with Tony Anderson (know of him?) tomorrow at 1 to pick my other modules so its cool. Can't wait to start strath, should be good.

Moria what you studying again?

Marketing, Business Law (although all first year law students are in together), Business Enterprise and Business Technology.

[Supergrunch]

Had my first two lectures today.

"This chemical is extracted from human semen, so it's relatively easy to er... get hold of. Sorry about that, I was about to say 'come by' and realised it wouldn't be such a good idea."

[conzer16]

Formally accepted my nomination for a place in Uni of Otago (NZ!) and applied to be accepted today!

[The fish]

Formally accepted my nomination for a place in Uni of Otago (NZ!) and applied to be accepted today!

That is fucking awesome! I'd love to go to NZ! Why did you apply there, of all places?

[conzer16]

That is fucking awesome! I'd love to go to NZ! Why did you apply there, of all places?

Well it's sort of an exchange agreement between my current University (UCD - www.ucd.ie) and the University of Otago (http://www.otago.ac.nz/) in Dunedin in NZ!

But the agreement isnt just with that uni, it's with about 5 or 6 in Canada, Norway, Copenhagen, London, Hong Kong, 5 or 6 in Australia and of course New Zealand!

I'm only going for a semester though, but I just can't wait!

[Ramar]

Thats like a thing we have at my Uni. We've got a guy from Germany doing a semester on my course.

Sounds awesome though, New Zealand looks like an amazing place. Hope you have fun.

All unis do it.

Im supposed to be in America right now.

*le sigh*

And in less self loathing news. In our lecture on Tuesday the lecturer summarised that men wish to be domestic (getting this from The Killer) and asked one guy who said he just wants a girl with big boobs. And then turned to "the other side of the room" because there was more men and me and the guy next to me both went "not really, no." Win.
