I find that insulting and ignorant in the extreme. Who are you to say how useful someones qualification is? I studied history at univeristy, not as part of a career ambition but because I am genuinely interested in the topic and wanted to further my education in it, and better myself. My future career may or may not make good sue of that qualification, but it doesn't matter because it's something I wanted to study.
Not everyone goes to university solely to ensure they can get a high paying job. Some of us wanted to enhance our education in a particular area.

And it's great fun. Hows your desk today? Arrive at the office on time did we? Dont forget to rush out to the same sandwich shop for lunch every day. Hope you ironed your shirt.
Never mind, soon be the weekend. Then you can do it all again next week.
My only problem with most the students that I knew while I was at university (just finished actually) was that about 90% of them from all different courses actually didn't give a damn about the subject they did, it was just something to do.
Hardly anyone I met had any academic qualities or loved the subject they did or was actually interested in the world surrounding that topic, just read the handouts in lectures.
This has probably already been mentioned.

Hardly.
meh I often find my self hating my course, and other times loving it
I mean people actually having an interest in furthering themselves, or making a difference rather than "Pfft, uni, seems the next step innit? Ah i'll do computers, 'cos I can use facebook in lectures!"

Well, I'm just finishing my 2nd year and live in a house of 6 others. Non of us stay up loud and use headphones in the evenings when other people are asleep (4 of us are music students, 2 of the others also do music in their spare time). If we want to borrow food we ask, we go out often but make sure we're quiet when coming back home.
Not everyone is immature, beer swilling and noisey, that's just the stereotype.

I don't think many people are mature at 18-21, doesn't matter if you're a student or in a job. People always want to grow up too quickly, there's only a short time in your life where you can do what you want, drink when you want and be as lazy as you want so you may as well do it when you can.
Most people who hate students seem to be the ones who never had a chance to be a student, or at least that is how it seems to me.

No there not
Mature students are generally not there for the "student life" and are more focused imo.
frankly you are a berk
Student scum, get jobs, do work, stop whining, we pay taxs for them to get lashed every night.
*You can tell I'm not jealous about being in the real world now
do you pay my rent?
do you pay my fees?
do you pay my bills?
etc etc

Q.F.T.
Allow me to clear up the misconceptions in this thread:
1. The students to whom you refer are indeed how you portray them; binge drinking, inconsiderate chimps.
2. Many have little or no desire to do any work whatsoever.
3. Many end up racking up huge debts and are not at all carefull.
a) Why do we have so many problems with students?
New Labour. 'Lets make ever ****wit in the country go to uni' "yeah good idea"
So basically we have loads of universities which are catering to less able people. University is full of chavs and commoners which is why students behave like this. As a direct result of New Labour, we few who conduct ourselves with decency, who are independent, who study etc. are being punished by all of the meat heads who now slip through the net.
The courses themselves are affected directly by the influx of less able students: many top courses are now dumbed down in the first two years in order to cater for those who have little or no brain and who are more concerned with going out and ending up in intensive care.
Now, IF university was still elitist (academically) and didn't have to accept every cat and dog and give them all loans and be constantly trying to make inane documents covering for their PC patrons, we might just be able to avoid this all.
In short, too many commoners going to uni in general+ more crappy universities being created as a result= more chav-like behavious from students.
As many of you will know, most of the hippies at uni tend to be commoners or champagne socialists: 'free education, free this and free that' STFU ffs. I am fed up with the people allowed into top universities and indeed universities in general because it debases our degrees and our educations. Furthermore the demeanour of these 'new students' is remembered and the rest of us have to be persecuted by the public at large.
Then again, it's not just students getting lashed up in the local wetherspoons or the cheapest clubs is it?

What does this even mean? You say university should be only for the academically elite, which is fine, but then mention loans? What have student loans got to do with anything? Or are all clever students rich?
