It's a job and 2 distance modules. It is more work, but it's also ~£12k, and employers love it =]

The only issue is that it limits your choice in your 4th year with which optional modules you can do, because you catch up a bit from what you missed i the 3rd.

That said, I'm fancying going to north america in my 3rd year, but that is over 3 years away still :p
 
I'm a second year student at uni, although i'm now finished my semester until September but in that time i will be working and spending a month in France in order to complete a mandatory part of my course.
I find the vast majority of students immature annoying and generally not people i want to spend time with, i live at home so don't have problems with that sort of thing.
What is unbelievable is that people who are supposed to be mature and sensible members of society but yesterday after my final exam, and obviously theirs, they were egging and flouring each other.

They do what other kids do at their age. For most it is the first time away from home and take their "at home" attitude and behaviour with them. This leads to resentment etc in a shared flat, but it is a learning experience, Everybody goes through the same thing at some point in their lives ie learning to be independent and the compromises when living in a shared flat.
 
oh i ****ing hate this Castro tit.

Part of Todays email.

2. Summer PANGAEA is gonna be fat!
3. May '68 - 40 years later...
4. Organising Working Students - Know your rights and get a better deal at work!
5. 'Carbon vs. Condoms' - What's that all about?
6. Youth Forum of European Universities - Participate in the survey and give them fire!

Of course we're all ****ers.. we don't pay tax and have a ridiculously awesome time mainly at someone else's expense rather than our own..

If I could I'd be a ****er forever.. but alas I have almost only 2 weeks left.. :(



On a more serious note I have been extremely lucky at Uni and I am hugely grateful for it. I wouldn't swap these last 3 years for anything else. I live with a great bunch of people and yes they can be messy/inconsiderate.. but then again so can anyone. You learn to live with people and you mature by doing so. I think it is unfair to call all students ****ers, but its pretty easy to do so considering the majority definitely put that front on.

The fact that non-students are also jealous of students exacerbates the situation. If you are a non-student and you are not jealous of students.. then you should be. I havnt even left uni and I already dislike second years and positively hate first years.. ****ers have such a good time ahead of them! :mad: :p
 
Though the generalisation is true for the majority, i like to think im not inconsiderate etc! In my flat none of the others seem to care a bit about keeping the kichen clean, just seems to be me. Then whenever ive tidied up, instead of being greatful, they sometimes take it upon themselves to take the mick out of me liking the place to be so clean. I love them all to bits but thank god im moving out in a few weeks.
 
I'd place most students on a par with chavs to be perfectly honest. Both are bone idle, enjoy drinking and dislike any form of hard work or social responibility.

A few of my mates are students though so no, not all students are ****ers.

oh god yes, i blame that **** wit Castro who does "love and information" emails

I don;t want your ****ing love emails I just want you to give me the ****ing news it's why the university spends my ****ing money on the mail server you ****ing retard.

Thank Christ I'm in one of the science degrees we don't seem to meet many of the love and free education people much.

Then again when your one of the students, who actually needs/uses expensive equipment you're glad theirs people paying the same as you to do degrees like sociology the just need a few lectures, to pay for all those wonderful chemicals and machines :p

If was "that **** wit Castro who does "love and information" emails" that prompted my rant :D UMSU is laughable... I remove myself almost weekly from the MANCHETER-STUDENTS listserv, but it auto adds me back! GRRRRR.
 
I'm a student and I don't think anyone could class me or the people I live with as chavs or ****ers. We drink, but not excessively, we clean up after ourselves, we don't steal food or anything else, we've never fought (or even had an argument, really...)

It doesn't mean we're boring - we enjoy ourselves, we just have a sense of social responsibility which I think you should have if you're going to university.

That I cant agree with, the aspects you describe are just not true or innaccurate:

bone idle - No! I would say the majority of Uni students do graduate. They are working towards a qualification and learning along the way. Chavs do not. Its too easy to label students as bone idle because we have a lot of free time.

enjoy drinking - So do my parents, so does a great deal of people..

dislike any form of hard work or social responibility - Is it not natural to dislike hard work.. everyone would love to laze on the beach. Students are still working towards their qualifications, official chavs are scrounging off the government in all respects and not giving anything back. You see that is a students social responsibility, students eventually graduate and integrate into society. Chavs destroy society.
 
I think it is kind of unfair, mainly because the only time you see students is when they are away from their studies. You don't catch them locked in their room revising because....they are locked in their room. There are a whole bunch in the library studying and another whole bunch who turn up to every leecture and practicals too. What about those that does sports for the uni/local county?
 
Dont really care, i have a laugh, and get on with work that is all i care about.

Rather enjoy my life than be some pompus guy bored enough to slate a vast majority of people in this country on an internet forum!
 
oh well, being a student is excellent. i live with some good housemates, did in the first year as well. As long as everyone does their bit then it normally works fine. if they don;t then i shout at them and they normally do.

at least students can party hard now, and have a good time, then we can settle down in later life, and not have to worry about having some sort of midlife crisis, when we realise we havent done anything fun, like some b0red IT person will.
 
Im technically a student (Just finished my final year), but I never really embraced the stereotypically student lifestyle, so I wince whenever I hear people say that "all students are ****ers". Perhaps because I stayed at home rather than living in halls. Ive had a couple of nights out with student friends, but nothing that's any more hectic than a night out with other friends. Admittedly, I went to Goldsmiths, where there are a lot of mature students, but even those of my own age I would not consider 'immature'.

My experience of most students, however, is that they are a lot less trouble than some other sectors of society. A weekend in my local town is usually spent dodging pikies and chavs, whereas when Ive been out in say, Canterbury, where there is a much higher student population, there seems to be a much less hostile atmosphere.

Then congratulations. You're not what I'd class as a typical student. Like I said, not all students are bad.

They might well be working towards a qualification, but is it actually in anything useful? Something they'll actually use in their future career? For a lot of students the answer to this is "no". They're just spending 3 years avoiding having to go out and get a proper job.

As do I. The difference is I don't go out and get utterly **** faced on whatever is £1 a bottle and then vomit kebab meat all over the road.

See point 1.

I'm not saying all students are bad. Many do worthwhile degrees and do indeed go on to become productive members of society. Lots don't however.
