yeah my overdraft with natwest is stuck at £450 until i start using it more to unlock the rest.

should be ok in a month or two

[Rippy]

Yeah I completely admit I did that first semester. (But actually I didn't do great then).

But I was so focused for exams 2nd round. Library hours paid off. And tbf, I failed one module.

I'm not that type

[Corrigan]

Lol Ripster..... after all the venting and I'm not gonna do well and such and such you got 1% off a first.

I KNOW YOUR TYPE LOVE.

C/S

And

Congratulations you have 1 new pos

Basically me and my boys (mostly the 'sensible by default' one) were looking to move into a student heavy zone, four bedroom, in the middle of town. Then his chick and her friend had a little mix up tiff whatever you wanna call it with their circle and ended up with nowhere to live, so he said they can hop on board, I didn't oppose, they're cool so it's whatever right? But the rent has jumped so drastically for a 6 bedroom, and we're living on the outskirts of town now so far removed from anything of interest apart from the marginalized cambridge underworld..

Talking to everyone else just shows me how much of a bump the price is. It's gonna slaughter my student loan with the first two rent payments. If next year some agreeable fellow worms his way into our friendship circle I'm just gonna offer up my room and look for a studio flat or something.

erm

couldnt he share a room with his girl? or is that too much?

is it just her thats got nowhere to live or her and a few friends?

hassu hassu hassu harr

[JGGB]

Got basically 61 in everything. Knew I'd either get high 2:2 or a low 2:1 so badsically gettin the lowest of the 2:1s is quite pleasing.

Disappointing none of my mates were on going out tonight. I'm in a celebrating mood . Kinda tired from work placement this week tho so tomo will be the day

[Percy]

congrats bro.

congrats to everyone striving for success

life is wot u make it.

hope my results reflect the hard work or else i will kill people. innocent people.

[HangTheDJ]

Results are out tomorrow. Couple of my flatmates do Law and theirs came out today, but were up at Midnight so I'm hoping mine are gonna be too.

Sheeeet.

[HangTheDJ]

Whey, got a 2:1.

Need 72 next year to get a first overall, can't see that happening.

[Dubby]

Debating on taking hard units in order to get more out of my degree or dodging them to get a better result.

[Trilliam]

Do ECTS credits have any bearing if you're not seeking a transfer?

[Duzza]

Got a first, so happy with that.. now just to find a job.. Regret not doing an internship now

[Trilliam]

On the opposite end of the spectrum it seems I've failed first year. I'm talented but lazy and I knew academia wasn't for me. TBH I only really went uni to get away from my unbearable marge, still I've made good friends and legitimately enjoyed my course.

I'm mounting an appeal whilst looking at a transfer / restarting at Goldsmiths. Or maybe I should wait till January and do another course at Ruskin, dunno yet.

Cambridge is a lovely city I'll say that much.

[NiNES.]

lol cambs is dead brah dont lie to urself

[Trilliam]

Nah Cambridge is bless tbh, was nice getting out of ends for the uni experience (disc: no i dont mean crossdressing) I doubt you can get that at a London uni.

[Dubby]

I was gutted when one of my friends didn't make it to next year. Probably the main reason I started drifting away from that social circle.

Also found out after 2 terms as well that my mate from home didn't get through first year either and had just stuck around the city to work, he's going to a different uni in September and I'm pissed 'cause he was like my main connect to the alternative music circle (and one of my best friends). But such is life.

Keep your head up man. Hopefully you get that repeat year. I personally wouldn't continue at another university considering fees but that's me and I don't have a direct enough path to be able to say 27k on tuition fees is a good investment in me.

[NiNES.]

lol at paying back s.f

[Trilliam]

what is uni as of this year 9k ?

dont think my uni offers repeat years which is abit rich of them seeing as some publications rate GREENWICH better.

[Dubby]

Oh my bad, its the year after innit. Go forth my friend. Although I imagine this year will be the most competitive yet (saying that each year is as competitive as the last regardless).

[Bobby Reds]

and we're living on the outskirts of town now so far removed from anything of interest apart from the marginalized cambridge underworld..

[Natty]

I'm in the same position but if they don't let me repeat I'm f*ckED

I've made good good friends and I've already payed £700 for my house next year i 100% enjoy the course but jesus juggling business and japanese of all languages ishard

[JGGB]

my boy failed his 2nd year at LSE- no retakes, gotta redo the whole of the year. Can't imagine how gutting it feels.

My other boy has just come back to ends after a few years, no A-Levels is this access to HE thing the best way for him to get onto an International relations uni course?

Will he only get into some sheg uni?

different uni's have different policies for mature students. Some may require a maths/english test. Others might require ab interview. Then theres the access route and also foundation programs. Literally the best thing he can do is ring up each international relations/politics dept for whatever uni's he wants to go and speak to their relevent course leaders directly.. Id be adamant about speaking to someone like a lecturer or a specific person in charge of admin in THAT dept and not an office monkey cos they wont be able to pull strings and will probably just fob you off

[Lenny]

Has anyone here had experience with Apprenticeships?
