You'll always find in life that you build something up to be a certain way yet it never turns out to be as hype as you want it.When your in secondary school you wish you were in College and hope you get there quick, but when you reach college you realise it's a bag of wank.So when your at college you hope to get outta there quick and touch uni and then when you do get to uni you'll be disappointed again. It's some nasty cycle but moral of this is don't hope for anything in your life, you'll just constantly end up disappointed.

[maniko]

that was exactly what i didnt wanna hear. you sayin if i dont hype it up as much it will be better....or is it dead anyway?

[Lurchie]

Nah you can but just don't overly hype it up.Concentrate on your A-Levels, I understand the way you're thinking whereby you're using getting to Uni and the way it's described as the 'best time of your life, that you won't ever relive' to motivate yourself through your A-Levels which is all good but think beyond that, think about where good grades will get you.There's no harm in thinking about Uni and where your gonna go such as a place with a nightlife and whether there will be any girls etc. But don't expect it to be the greatest thing in the World cos if you do and it doesn't meet expectations you'll find your time there tough.

Rah, you should be a motivational speaker.

LOL thanks. I'm not a pessimist. Plus I didn't mean it to that extreme, I meant if like you spend weeks in your life hoping for something and planning for it to be big and then it flops (which it does a lot of the time) you'll be disappointed big time.I didn't mean don't ever hope for anything ever. Poor explaination on my part.

[spiderman]

boy, uni is wat u make it get me. who you meet and what you do, is down to you.

[JLovely]

My uni experience has been cack....but like Spiderman said its wt you make it.

[Gray Fox]

Too many people go to uni nowadays, who realistically wouldn't have been good enough to before. The standards have dropped. That's what the problem is.

Definitely....sometimes at uni i wonder cos certain people say certain things that just make me think did you really get any sort of qualifications!Especially in first year when we had some sort of key skills module and people were failing an its things you learnt in school.

i would reccommend moving away from home too. the ppl who stay at home seem to miss the best things about uni, like house/hall partys, meeting random ppl, doing stupid stuff in general. plus their always pissed from the traffic of getting into uni, i used to love it when they would say, ' i got up at 6am and was stuck in trafiic for 2 hours' then i would reply with, ' yeah i just woke up about 15 minutes ago'

[Roots]

I'm going Uni next year still.

If you go to a good uni, you'll find it won't be as fun as you'd hoped. If you do well and study as hard as you should, you won't have as good a time as you want.You'll have to choose what you want from your university experience but it is what you make it.

[Dadinho]

I guarantee if you come from a certain background or have lived any kind of life previously, Uni will NOT be the best times of your life.Better unis are mainly full of watless middle class pissheads.

truest word spoken,

If you study for a decent degree this will not happen to you.

[Guest Durrty Boi]

preparation is the best form of defenceyou could end up working in tesco, but then again you could end up running a successful multi-national companybut if you dont get education and experience the chanches are far less

The key is not what/where you do your degree, it's what you do WITH your time at uni.We are at the stage where an individual must be selling themself as the complete package, rather than just relying on a degree. So someone who has loads of extracurricular activities (ECs), work experience, references and a solid 2.1, will stand as good a chance (if not better) than someone who has a first, but nothing of added value. This isn't the case for EVERYONE, but it's generally the case.

I can understand that. This idea was presented to me when I was applying for medical school. I know a girl that got predicted AAA but was boring as f*ck so she didnt get offered a place at uni.

hmmm
