I hate students...

I’m in my 6th year as a student. Im not sure how people can say being a student is easy, also not sure how other students find the time to go out and drink. I spend 90% of my free time doing coursework. Never really go out anywhere ...there’s just too much work.
 
Same, and im a student. Its people who do doss courses that have made people like me who do REAL degrees have to pay all these darn fees. Amount of people that i see/know who barely do any work or turn up for lectures and still manage to get through the first year. Universities just aren't strict enough....40% is the pass mark for a module. Wtf is the point in that? It means you know less than half of the content of the module and you can still go on to the next module/year. Sure its more pressure, but thats what half of the students need. A kick up the a***.
 
I know exactly how you feel. On my placement year at the minute, with some mates who went straight into their third year. Hate hearing stories about parties they're organising/going to/being hungover while I'm stuck at work.

At least I get to go back next year, and I'm going to work hard, play hard :p
 
a lot of people say they had an easy time at uni. I raised my bar personally and set myself high goals, I really want a 1:1, but fair enough if people are happy with whatever.

I don't think anyone in the history of your Uni has got 100% of everything, so thats a bit of a far fetched aim!

I know, but if I start thinking like that I go into "meh I don't care" mode and I'm a chronic underachiever so that's a dangerous path. I figure I haven't really tried at anything in my entire life, may as well start here.
 
I'm off to do a Masters in Canada for 2 years when I graduate after this year (providing I get accepted of course), so I don't have to worry about the World of work for another 2 years or so.
 
yay, i'm a student just going into my second year at plymouth, so far enjoying it very much. Really don't want to graduate and get a job. i want to keep doing 2 hours work a day, and sleeping a lot, and going out more. i can totally understand why people hate us though.
 
Ahh uni.

You lot have it easy with 12 and 16 hours a week, In the first year I had about 32 and down to 25 in my final year.

You're quite right, 16 is easy and not what I have... I've missed out my two subsid modules, so on average it's much like yours. I realise that now I have not added in those two, looking at the spreadsheet I've made up.
 
Im on 8 hours a week now at uni :) Then probably double that training. And the rest in the library.

Its out the house at 6.30, back at 6ish, bed at half 9 :( Nights out are mainly weekends now :(

I do too, and I still am one. Currently I'm on 12hr+ days, having to be in for 7:30 - 8:00am, yet every night without fail the ****s next door (who are freshers at the nearby poly-come-good that is UCLan) get in from a night out at 2:00am and party loudly for the next 2 or 3 hours. Allowing me a max of about 5hrs sleep a night (split in half to make it all the more unbearable) :mad:

Simple solution mate, complain about it. Tell them it's unacceptable and tell them you will be reporting them to the council and informing the dean of their behaviour.
