did you guys go to the same school?

weird.

michigan trinity up in here?

[QUOTE=Bartender]I loved Psychology in school (6th form college). I applied for a few Psychology courses at universities (and a Psychology/Philosophy one at Leeds, actually), but ended up just going with straight Philosophy.

I was just wondering; when you study philosophy at uni/college, do you study works of other philosophers, or do you work on making your own philosophies? (didn't know how to phrase that)

It sounds great, from all these "Trial" colleages I went to I chose Psychology, I loved it.

So it could be on the cards...I want to go into the medicine industry of some sorts

Don't know about college (didn't take it before University level) but mostly it's a mixture of the two. Usually the first leading to the second. It also depends on what module you take, e.g. ;

i) I'm taking a module this year called Sartre and Nietzsche, so fairly obviously, the bulk of the module is devoted to reading texts by those two, and attempting to understand them.

ii) Last year I took a module called Introduction to Ethics. In that, we were introduced to some of the key ideas and concepts and such in moral philosophy, sometimes by reading texts by noted individuals (Plato, for example, or Peter Singer for a more modern example) and sometimes just by having it explained to us and then reading texts to secure the ideas in our heads.

I don't think I've encountered a module yet which excludes one or the other - possible exception being Logic, where I can't recall reading any important texts.

Crucially though, the end aim was to educate us enough, both on other people's opinions and on good ways to form opinions, to allow us to form our own opinions on whatever the subject was (again, the exception being Logic).

I wanted to post this in the request music thread, but since it not music, I wasn't sure it was the right place, so I will ask here

could anyone upload Guitar Pro 4 (or is there any newer version already) on to YSI for me, cause my version GP 4, doesn't allow me open files anymore.
I have the full version, so I have no clue how this comes.

please add the key password thingy too, otherwise it's still worthless
thanks people :)

Bartender, what exactly are you studying?

Single honours Philosophy.

I feel like such a little kid, with all this discussion of university studies.

That's cool, dude, good luck with that!

I was actually planning on going to the Guitar Institute in Hollywood, but there is a big chance my band might be touring up through Iowa next summer, so I'm putting that on hold...

Plus, I don't have the cash.

So you've started now? How are you finding uni life?

I can't wait until I go to uni, I've pretty much decided that my course will be Chemical Physics with Industrial Experience but in the first two years I will study philosophy too (it's more or less compulsory to study two courses, focusing on one, for your first couple of years at Edinburgh).

I don't know, I didn't know there were restrictions. I really hope I can get into the halls because I think that's a really important part of getting to know people and stuff. If I can't get into the halls then I'll probably end up going elsewhere, even though it might not be as good a uni for my course. Was it you that posted pictures of your dorm that was loaded up with Irn-Bru? What are you studying?

i think i'm going to do earth sciences, hopefully at durham, or if not then at manchester. i was going to do geophysics/geology, but as i dropped maths after A/S level i couldn't do that.

Livi ia about 20 miles away from Edinburgh, I think, and some of me mates that went there didn't get accepted because they lived within a reasonable commuting distance. I imagine that it wouldn't just distance that gets taken into account but probably ease of travel as well. We have trains, buses and the motorway to get there easily. I don't know what it's like in your little village, though.

And yes, you really, really, really should move out if you can. It's so much fun.

And yes, I moved to Manchester with a full supply of Bru. It's stupidly expensive down here :upset:

And I'm studying Information Systems. Apparently I kinda left myself with no choice with the grades I got :upset:

hey if you guys are bored look at this and turn your volume way up :lol:

i just realised theres not much point in having Durham and Manchester as my 2 top choices, as one needs BBB and the other needs ABC, so i'm going to put Lancaster down instead, as i need BCC to go there, provided i get offers from all my choices.

only my personal statement to do now, and i've got ages to get that done. its taking ages though.

and, according to the meteorologists, we're going to have our coldest winter since 1995 this winter :rolleyes:

Yeah, we're closer than Livi is so I don't think I'll be getting in. I can get to the physics building with two or three buses so they probably won't accept my transport complaints either. I'll probably end up elsewhere in that case, my chemistry teacher told me to go to St Andrews, because there's apparently a female to male ratio of 2:1 (dirty old man++).

i can do sciences easily, because most of it is physical interactions, rather than theory (like maths)
