Another uni question thread, (sorry)

Most people who are bright enough to get into university can get a 2:1 in their chosen subject if they apply themselves. Go to all your lectures, study in your spare time and be organised in your revision and you'll likely manage it.

Does that mean you're aiming for a 2:1? If so then for most it will probably mean a fair bit of work but if you're either vaguely sensible about how you schedule things or just pretty good at the subject then there should still be plenty of time to party.
"Science Degree"
What exactly is that supposed to mean, theres tonnes of sciences out there some vastly harder than others.
If you enjoy working itll be easy, if you dont then prepare to endure hell to get it done.

It won't be "easy" by any means, unless you're the second coming of Einstein or something!
Don't forget, getting 60% on a degree mark isn't the same as getting GCSE or A-level most of the time. If you get an assignment that asks for specific criteria, and you meet all of them, you won't get 100%, you'll likely get 70%.
Edit - Also, what degree?

What specific degree were you thinking of doing? Like, science is a pretty vague term in uni. Could it be computer science ya know?
Once a week?
Way to have a crap time
Strange, I thought university was for learning!

friend of mine is doing chemistry. she worked resonably hard, attended all the lectures, did all the homework, and did a good amount of revision before her first year exams. i can remember which, but she's up for a 2:1 or a first if she caries on as she has this year
she was also out several nights a week, so dont thin you have to skip the partying to get good results

I'm just yanking your chain, though it IS possible to work and go out most nights.
That's not a science!
If you have a genuine interest in the field and you're willing to put in the hours you'll do fine. You can judge how much work/when you need to do it as you go along really.
