Interferencers off to University next month

[Princey]

Just interested to see which of us will be moving cities in either September or October in the UK to go to University...i currently live in Hull but am moving to Edge Hill, Ormskirk (nr. Liverpool) on September 11th to start a Journalism course.

anyone else care to share were theyre going??

 

[1stepcloser]

I live in birmingham and am starting at Leeds next month to do History.

 

[For Honor]

I wonder if my University will have any good exchange programs....




(I'll start a thread for that, maybe....)

Well, I'll be off to mine in January, as I've mentioned elsewhere. But good luck everyone


History and Journalism......

I don't know what I want to do anymore.
More so, what is something I would excel at that I am capable and competent in. I know I have skills and such, but I'm not sure about what field I should get into, honestly........

hmm.........

This is a very valid point. I would like to add to your advice - don't marry a man who changes the station away from U2.

Well hopefully if all things go to plan in life i will be marrying a woman, unless she hasn't told me a wee secret of hers hmmm

Have you not managed to convert your husband to U2 yet?

hmm i wonder if anyone has ever started divorce proceedings over their spouse not liking U2

I think it would be valid grounds.

Apologies for the gender issue.

Have a blast at Uni. Which subject are you going to study?

Any recomendations, beli, for fields of work to get into?

For students to study? Or people wanting to work at a University?

 

[For Honor]

Both, actually, if you don't mind

Dunno that Im an expert.

I guess it depends if you want to study a subject that will earn a good living, or if you want to gain knowledge. I personally studyed a vocational topic, ie accounting, and wished Id studied something useless but interesting like arts.

As for working at a University. A degree in something, anything helps greatly. Theres facets to University employment
* Teaching - ie in a subject you have a degree or higher
*Research - in a subject you are studying or have a degree or higher
*Administration - which is split into two. Central Administration and administration in the faculties. Whichever one you choose you may end up pigeon holed for life.
Faculties Administration involves dealing with students. Central admin often has nothing to do with the day to day teaching and research role of the Uni. Depends what you like really.

I work at a sandstone University, the equivalent of the USA Ivy League, or the Oxford/Cambridge type institutions in England. It may well be different in a more vocational based university.

Ah, what a lot of waffle.

I know you're a guy, didn't someone already mistake you for a girl in this thread?! lol

He is indeed from Ireland, not so far from where you are.

 

[TheQuiet1]

Maybe LJT and 'that' guy are the same person......though then I guess he would be exactly where LJT was instead of "not so far from". Lived in Belfast long LJT? Huh? Huh?
