Or was that studying hard and partying well ? My minds been so fuzzy ever since uni...:rofl:

:)thanks all

im going to Farnborourgh sixth form clive

Night life in Worcester is mad - in a good way. So many pubs/clubs to chooooooose from. So much fun. Always busy. Well on Mons, Wends, Thursdays and Fridays. And if you have the money you can go on Saturdays with NORMAL public of Worcester. LMAO. Other nights are student nights. Such a laugh - always an event happening or something major going on. And the drinks mega cheap - no wonder im - cough - most students are in trouble.

Mr Stu

better then manchester, liverpool, birmingham ? :P

birmingham 2 close to my house anyway wud b no point spending all that money getting a room when my house is a 20 min train away lol so i cant go to aston :P

price of rooms r a joke it will b like all my student loan so dad your going to have to pay :rofl: or im going to have to win lots of money at events :P

Im very lucky not to be like most other students when it comes to finances - but the average student debt is £20,000 now. £3,000 PER YEAR Tuition FEES to go to the Uni. Then average is £4,000 per year maintenance Loan which is enough to LIVE on and cover standard Student Rent (£300 a Month). So that€™s £7,000 a year, so ok £21,000 a year. And the student loans can cover both maintenance and Tuition Fees. Cant see you winning £21,000 from Events. I believe the max Prize fund was £5,000 and that was Robot Wars Series 7 I believe - not sure.

Mr Stu

lol my dad will read this tomo and think :o 2 kids going to uni in a yr apart of each other

my sister wants en suite in her room the fool

n im gonna have to be catered or I wont be eating much lol

robot wars is going to have to come back so It can pay for the parties lol
do u only have to pay like £40 a month after ur earning over 15k or something?

Ive currently taken £16,000 of student loans in the 2 years so far. In engineering to get a good job you need a year in industry and an MEng degree. That takes 5 years in all. Your nealy in £35,000 debt by the end.
Oh yer, I would never have a room without on-suite at uni. Couldnt stand sharing one between 8 students, usually just having 1 bath :uhoh:. Being in London, it costs WAY too much to go out anywhere near as much as most people. Ive paid upto £7.50 a pint of cider on a night out. You can guess i didnt drink more than 1 lol.

Yeah student loans are intense
Im comming to the end of my degree in computer animation and special FX and I am lucky to have joined uni before the mad tuition fees kicked in.
Also my mum is a single mum so I get a any tuition fees paid for as well as a grant.
Im thinking of doing a masters and my gf liz has landed a good job being a recruitment consultent.
Which means she can get me some easy office work :D
BTW you can only ever get one student loan and cant get another if you failed your first degree. That includes master degrees so my masters degree next year will have to be part time.
Fun

This, and stories from my brothers Dutch friends, has made me realise how fortunate I have been to have attended university without amassing any debt at all !!

First of all I had a scholarship (a not-well-known one but which I stumbled upon when asking for it), which led to me pay only a tenth of the tuition fees: 39 ‚ instead of 390 ‚ a year, and that university also used to be the cheapest in Western Europe - lucky me. Then I had the chance to room at my mothers place (I used to live with my dad before then) while paying only for my food and such, which was about 45 ‚ a month. Then my dad gave me my portion of the childrens allowance he got for my brothers and me: 150 ‚ each month (but subtract the 45 I had to pay my mum). I used to work during summer holidays, earning me something like 450 ‚ each year (allowing me to pay the tuition fees, the public transport card, and the books), then work on the odd day off which might make me something like 20 to 25 ‚ a day. Once a year, in the week before 20 November students were allowed to go out and beg (its a tradition...) which would make me another 50 to 100 ‚, just enough to pay for extra tuition books which I desperately needed at that moment. The other students would blow the money on booze. I choose not to.
I usually could find my way in for free at student parties, in return for clean-up duty and such. And apart from attending a cantus (song and drink evening) for free (if I was drinking only water - a hideous sacrifice my fellow students thought - or helping to clean up afterwards) I would play role playing games where you only paid for the drinks (cheap). And of course, being a girl I could always rely upon some bloke or other to pay for me if it was really needed. Want makes ingenious.

Which meant I could finish 6 years of uni successfully while even having had a teeming social life but without any debt whatsoever. It also meant I could never buy new clothes, or the latest cd, or the latest computer game (forget about a computer...) during these 6 years. I did -however- buy books.

Figure out what your priorities are. Mine were not getting that chit which said I had graduated well (which I did by the way), but getting the experience that I had amassed knowledge of the books together with knowledge of how hard life can be, and having had a fabulous time to boot. I have known want, but not seriously so when compared with classmates who went hungry at the end of the month before their allowance came in (and the rest of us usually would pool together in order to help those out when we could).

Sarah, aim for the best and aim for joy in doing so. Youve started upon a path that may take you far if you work hard enough for it (maybe even uni, who knows ?). I can only wish you all the best in this next stage of life.

I was also one of the lucky ones to be the last year where the Tutition fees were £1175 INSTEAD of the new £3000 that is flying around all over the place now. But i still took the full loan out for the 2nd and 3rd year.

£7.50 a pint of cider on a night out

My god you been robbed!! Even if we go out on NONE student nights, a pint does not go over £3. My god. LOL. Student nights bottles of beer etc and pints dont go over £1.05.

But Sarah wont be drinking that much will you babes! Shes going to be a good Uni girl when shes kick butt in College. :rofl:

Mr Stu

£7.50 a pint, guess why i dont live in the south east anymore lol

When did this thread become about drinking. Congratulations Sarah, have fun at college but remember you are there for a reason.

Since i made the connection as to what Sarah gets like at Events when she drinks - and shes on her way to Uni. Haha!!! Go Sarah!!!!!

Mr Stu

:rofl:thanks for all the encouragment Stu.
