TheNexus100 02.20.13	yea shell out over 100 g's or owe it for the rest of ur life while ur making 30 gs out of college for like 10 yrs or more
Trebor. 02.20.13	Why the fuck do you call it uni That's what babies wear, jesus
AtomicShane 02.20.13	lol
anarchistfish 02.20.13	I wouldn't even worry about the cost of uni cos the repayments are pretty spread out. As long as you get through it it's worth it
anarchistfish 02.20.13	"Why the fuck do you call it uni That's what babies wear, jesus" why the fuck do you call it school. School ends when you're 16. School is what kids go to
Trebor. 02.20.13	School isn't so expensive if you go to cal state which is like 3-4K a semester, which financial aid will pay for anyway unless you're rich as fuck
Trebor. 02.20.13	"why the fuck do you call it school. School ends when you're 16. School is what kids go to" Our high school goes to grade 12 when most are 18 so fuck you and your A levels or whatever bullshit
Trebor. 02.20.13	And we call it college not school
toxin. 02.20.13	we don't call it school we call it college
TheNexus100 02.20.13	i live in ny so any out of state school tuition will be nuts, unless it's a shit school
toxin. 02.20.13	dang
anarchistfish 02.20.13	college is what's between school and university for two years. god america's weird
Trebor. 02.20.13	I'm sure NY has a non raping tuition state school
AtomicShane 02.20.13	university = college
Trebor. 02.20.13	lol you want to talk weird mister fish and chips I heard you guys don't even have mexican food /thread
TheNexus100 02.20.13	treb most suny schools are like close to 20k a semester
anarchistfish 02.20.13	"university = college" lol "I heard you guys don't even have mexican food" you were lied to it just ain't as common although the food in this country is awful to be fair and everyone thinks fish and chips are british
toxin. 02.20.13	get a scholarship then could've been at berkeley engineering but turned it down to go to a worse college for free
Chortles 02.20.13	yea wtf college is university you goons america fuck yeah
MikeC26 02.20.13	i decided to go to a university after doing well at a community college and so far it's been great. made a lot of cool friends and met some down chicks
Trebor. 02.20.13	Damn New York is fucking expensive
anarchistfish 02.20.13	"down chicks" lol
toxin. 02.20.13	yea going to CC then transferring >>>>>> going straight to college only thing is it prob hurts your ego
lou1000 02.20.13	@AnarchistFish what subject did u apply for?
anarchistfish 02.20.13	geography
Uranium 02.20.13	go to a cheap uni and get financial aid
lou1000 02.20.13	they're all pretty much the same price in the UK
Funeralopolis 02.20.13	Hard choice really, I did very well in high school but am barley getting by in university due to lack of discipline, if you don't have good study habits you will get wrecked.
lou1000 02.20.13	i have shit study habits, that's why i'm worried.
anarchistfish 02.20.13	Did you struggle at AS? think most people have pretty bad study habits
jefflebowski 02.20.13	it's the best way to put off getting a real job. you've got some good choices, i've applied to exeter and ucl too
lou1000 02.20.13	@AnarchistFish I wasn't expecting to do as well as i did in the end as throughout the year I was constantly not handing in work and missing lessons.
AliW1993 02.20.13	Honestly, I was in the lucky last batch who didn't have to pay the new tuition fees, and even at 3k a year I feel completely ripped off. I'm at a shit uni doing a shit course, but the whole system in general has me completely disillusioned. My marks recently have been pretty bad but the whole thing seems so pointless I can't find the motivation to do anything about it. Obviously I'm in no position to say you shouldn't go, but don't believe anyone who looks at uni through rose-tained glasses.
T5Cx 02.20.13	I was in your position but decided to go. So far I'm finding uni easier than A-levels. Uni life is great too, first year is essentially one long booze-fueled fuck fest. With your grades you shouldn't have any problems, even with bad study habits.
jefflebowski 02.20.13	'don't believe anyone who looks at uni through rose-tained glasses.' uh, what if they actually did have a good time at uni though
Adabelle 02.20.13	Sweet everyone go Nottingham next year yeahhhhh
anarchistfish 02.20.13	is that where you are adabelle? I have to pick between Nottingham and Bristol
Adabelle 02.20.13	Hahaha, if I don't get an offer from Leeds then I'll be going to one of those
anarchistfish 02.21.13	didn't get sussex?
Adabelle 02.21.13	Got an offer but not that interested.
anarchistfish 02.21.13	I saw sheffield today but it didn't really click with m
