I know the general population of SR is at going-to-University age and because most of you are sharper than your average spoons I'm sure a lot of you are diving deep into the neverending pool of governmental debt that is higher education.

Now that it's imminent (well, about 6 weeks away) how prepared/nervous/excited do you feel about the whole thing?

Potentially the only thing that worries me is getting kidnapped by the Palestinians, which isn't very likely since I bought my lead suit.

My plan was to make a lively debate about this whole issue but it's half two in the morning and I'm trying to play online poker whilst typing this, so just try and salvage whatever you can from this.


On a side-note, what the hell has happened to this damn forum? It's like the God of binary condemned this place and wiped his biblical ass all over it. Faggy n00bs lol, k.

Hurrah for Glasgow, bye bye my crappy town.

The only thing you should concern yourself with is the distance between your student digs and the local lap-dancing bar, Perfect 10's.

A guilty pleasure of mine is following the girls home after their shift. I've found one who definitely likes me. She runs up the path to her house as I turn the corner each week, pretending to be frightened. But it's clear to me she's just playing hard to get.

Yeah but if you do medicine, by the time you finish the course, doctors will be on 40k a year starting salary (if not more, I know someone who's just finished her course and went onto about 35k a year), so you'll be able to retire at the age of like 40 and do all that stuff.

All courses are crap though these days, apparently.

Apart from medicine... but then you get stuck with 16 hour shifts and get paid jack.

Media really is a joke-course. It's basically watching films and saying how they make you feel. Woah.

A friend of mine is doing media production though, which is loking at the technical side of it which is more useful.


As for me, I'm doing Journalism at Central Lancs.

Be warened, no jobs there apparently.

In saying that, an old friend of mine did Media at a pretty crappy college and he is now on £30k a year in a very nice TV job.
