Yes, they discourage it. Which means all the bars have difficult closing times to make it harder for you to do and meaning you have to walk twice as far. So if you do it, which you should, start early.

After I finished Uni I realized what a waste of time it was. I spent the majority of my time writing pointless essays and reading through a long reading list.

I see no reason why someone couldn't simply read all the important books on a subject and become as knowledgable as any graduate (This proably seems really obvious to you).

I have checked on some university website and few publish reading lists for the subjects which are taught.

I guess I could simply start with textbooks but do any anons know of a reputable website which lists the most important literature in any subject?

Thanks.

I believe he specified these exceptions when he mentioned "people who studied things other than medicine/engineering/sciences". Although to be fair, you could probably just read all my textbooks and reading lists for the next 3 years and know just as much I will at the end of my MSci, save for perhaps lab skills. Read enough journals and with an amount of intelligence you can apply your knowledge of theory to most things.

Oh really?

Some universities even organise the reading lists of seemingly every module they teach into one concise index. Even moderately respectable ones.

Even if they didn't publish reading lists, most will probably publish timetables. Walking into an introductory lecture and making note of the reading list is probably as easy as it sounds. You can get into every single one of my lectures without needing an ID or a pass of any kind.

1193 NVQs!
NVQs are the poor mans equivalent of degrees and all those other special things, yes?
I've read and been told that various levels of NVQ are the 'Equivalent to Degree or Pre-degree/X amount of GCSEs'. Is this actually the case or will employers, or whoever else requests to see them, look down on me because im a dirty peasant who cant afford or understand how to go to university?

I WANT to be educated but all i see when study for an NVQ is a paper that states 'Not Very Qualified'.

I dont want to be stuck in a part time job scraping by each month (no, im not claiming benefits, i just cant cope with the stress).

I'd say so, but I'm not an employer, and this doesn't mean they are useless. I speculate that they are good for getting practical jobs such as plumbing, hairdressing, health care etc.

If you go the NVQ route you will have a hard time competing for more prestigious jobs against students from the top unis, but If I had to choose between student X from a not so good university or student Y who has done NVQs, I'd just go for the one with the most work experience.

Alternately Access courses and Foundation Degrees in place of GCSE/A levels, a Master's isn't required if you get a 2:1 or above (generally) and have done a dissertation, you can get a post-PhD if you have a certain amount of published work, you don't actually need any qualifications for a University to award you a Bachelors, Masters or PhD (at their discretion), the first two years of a Bachelors can sometimes be taken as a HND..

I've got both - a degree from ages ago, and an NVQ quite recently.
NVQs seem (from my limited exposure) to be what they say on the tin - a Nationally accepted Vocational Qualification. mine's essentially in metalwork and CNC stuff. If I was hiring someone to work in that sort of environment, I'd absolutely take the NVQ over an unrelated degree. There's simply no comparison. Likewise, if I wanted someone to run a fabrication sideline to my main business, I'd take the NVQ guy.
The recent drive to a 'degree, or nothing' approach is witless. There are millions of people, and jobs, for which a decent vocational qualification, is the perfect fit.
Degrees are losing value and credibility at a scary rate. An NVQ that says you're safe and competent to do a real job has some authority. Of course, some lackwit gimps are going to get NVQs, and need weeding out. Don't be one of those.
There _is_ the theory that degrees let you get higher up in a company. This is possibly true - pretty much everyone I work with, day to day, has a degree or higher. And we work like stressed monkeys, for not terribly good wages, on the assumption it'll all get better when we hit the big time / get bought by Google / whatever. A degree is so far from a guarantee of riches and an easy life that it's not funny. And this is is Cambridge...
If you want to go and work for a rigidly ordered huge company (or the civil service), or do a job for which a degree is mandatory, then go for the degree. Otherwise, it's not clear cut.
(also, getting a degree later, while harder than just rolling out of school, doing your 3 years, paying your dues, and getting the paper, is entirely possible, and is regarded as well as, or better, than the 'conventional' route. You'll also be older, wiser, and know slightly more what you want to do)

I doubt that helped at all. Good luck, chap. Whatever you do, do it well. Don't just dick around and scrape through. Nobody's impressed by a shit degree - or half-assed NVQ.

Have any of you lived in a dorm before?

I probably will be living in one this year, and I was thinking how stupid/impractical would it be to have a desktop pc, a fridge, and a tv in a dorm room. Is that stuff common or would they just get stolen or something?

Don't take a fridge, OP. You might get away with a mini one, but don't be a lazy bastard, just use the one in the kitchen. Many halls don't allow you to have fridges in your room also.

As for the other stuff, I'd only recommend taking a TV if you know for certain you will have a car available to take your stuff there and back. I wouldn't like to lug one onto a train, same with a desktop PC. I took a big PC to halls, and for all I used it I needn't have bothered, I just used the laptop mainly. It was a nice luxury but not vital. Bear in mind also you'll be expected to pay a license for your TV for your room, though almost everywhere you will get away with not, but it's a consideration nonetheless.

Nothing will be nicked, you'll have a lock on your door, and a lock on your flat, and you'll have contents insurance (Endsleigh offer many of the countries halls free insurance up to £2000, but you can and should arrange your own if not)

I like to travel light, and if I was doing halls again I'd take my laptop, clothes and not much else, but that's me. It's not uncommon to have those items in halls, my flatmate last year had a 42" plasma in his room, though it was obviously ridiculously too big, he got on fine with it.

TL;DR take them if you know you can transport them hassle free.

I was thinking a mini one for fruits and soft drinks.
I probably will get a car eventually, but I don't have a 'home' to lug back and forth there, coming from far far away.

My main consideration is that rooms look small and, like you said a TV could be just too large - and secondly I don't know what the norm is etc.

I think I'll get a desktop, if not maybe some shitty all-in-one pc, I'll be there for fifty fucking weeks I need a large screen for work if not for fun.

Like I say, you might get away with a mini fridge, but you might not - my halls didn't allow them (they do room checks occasionally, I suppose you could hide it)

You will have limited space, my flatmate's TV took up most of his desk - I think a happy medium would be a desktop with a reasonably sized screen. Like you say the rooms are never exactly spacious, even a 22 inch monitor will be fine for watching films etc. lying in bed.

I see, I checked the website to see if they wrote anything relevant but couldn't find anything on fridges - TV's are pretty common apparently as they mentioned the licensing fee though.

But I also noticed that I was allowed one wired internet connection, and use of wireless hubs etc. weren't allowed. Maybe I should just get an apartment...

A mini fridge is fine, for drinks and stuff. A TV in your room might make you rather anti-social though.

I found having no TV in my room meant I mingled with my housemates a lot more.

A PC is hella impractical tbh. I dont see a need for it at all unless youre a hard core gamer.

Dorm rooms are small as they are, you dont want to fill it with non necessities

I applied three days after the UCAS deadline - back in February ; one university (LSE) has rejected, two (Brunel and London Met) have given me unconditionals, and two (Goldsmiths and SOAS) have yet to reply. I know someone who works at Goldsmiths who says that it's not a bad thing I've been left this long waiting for a reply as they work by eliminating the shit ones first, which seems reasonable; I don't meet the grade requirements for either Goldsmiths or SOAS. I'm hopeful, though.

Two questions;
is anyone else still waiting for replies from universities?
and does anyone know how difficult it is to change the university I've put on the student finance forms, should I, for instance, tell them I'm going to Brunel then go to Goldsmiths?

If it's relevant, I'm going to study Politics. Picture slightly related.

I've just come out of a psych ward, and the NHS are giving me *at the most* one appointment every six weeks for half an hour with a consultant psych so he can fuck about with my medication. I'm using my DLA to pay for some form of talking therapy, my prescriptions (7.50 and I'm generally prescribed a weeks worth at a time), and occasionally I expect to use it on a taxi to the mental health centre, which is out of town, and buses into another nearby town should I need to visit the psychiatric ward on an outpatient basis.

1156 Student Finance
I'm going into my third year and I completely forgot to reapply for my loans and such. Looks as though I'm going to have to ring them up tomorrow and sort it all out. As far as I'm aware the worst that can happen is that I get my loans paid late, which doesn't really bother me as I'm living at home anyway and I don't even need the maintenance loan - it just feeds my suit addiction and pays for holidays. The tuition fees, however, I'm a little more worried about. I'm sure the university will be understanding if they're paid a little late, though, right?
Have any of you students or ex-students ever forgotten to reapply for your finances or had any trouble with Student Finance?

My loans came in late last year and both halls and Uni were very understanding. In fact I didn't really get bothered at all by anyone except a letter every now and then saying rent/fees were late. YMMV though.

Right now my gripe with Student Finance is that the online application system isn't working for me and I'm having to print out and post the form.

Most students above the first year should be aware of the house visits one's forced to comply with, when estate agents barge into your lovely abode with a rag tag group of prospective buyers.
The fact I've been on both sides of this scenario does little to extend my sympathies. However I know I am powerless against these intrusions, so instead of sulking I plan to entertain myself when they inevitably knock on my door asking to have a look around.

tl;dr - What entertaining set ups can I have in my room when strangers come to peer at it?
Being mid way through an animal sacrifice?
Making it into a drug den (not really keen on this option) ?
Covering everything in cling film and dressing up in mask gloves and apron?

Ideas?

Me. I stayed in my hometown, lived at home for a year, then with a friend for 2 years and now living on myself.

After school and civil service I never got out of my "procrastination mode", I didn't get to know new people, stayed with the same bunch of lads, kept my old habits etc.
I can't blame it all on my decision (or lack thereof, staying was just the easiest choice) to stay, but it certainly didn't help ; ;

720 Interview for Tesco
A friend has just returned from an interview for a delivery driver position with Tesco. I made him wear nice shoes, trousers, a shirt and tie - even though it's only Tesco, I've always thought you should dress your best for any interview.

When he got there, more than half of the other applicants (it was a group interview) were wearing jeans, trackies, trainers etc. Have people just stopped caring about their apearance when they're trying to impress an employer?

Prior to the interview, he studied the kind of questions and irritating, American-style pop. psychology crap that they seem to do now but luckily there was no public humiliation involved. However, a lot of the other applicants already had jobs with Asda, Iceland etc - one of which was on better pay at Iceland. Personally, I think it's a little unfair that in times of unemployment and financial troubles that people with the same jobs in different companies should be hopping around while the unemployed are struggling to find work (there are 4 positions available, 37 interviewees).

What do you think about interview dress-code?

Similar story but not quite as bad; I had a university interview the day after St. Patricks day. I was so hungover (and possibly still stoned) that I couldn't figure out the coffee urn and ended up pouring coffee on the floor. The interviewers opening question was "So tell me a bit about yourself". I just sort of stared confusedly at him until he asked a less open ended question.

I had a job interview with Tesco when I was 18, I wore a polo-shirt, jeans and dress shoes. I was still one of the smartest looking people there.

I've only ever had one interview.
My first job was literally given to me because my sister got me in as a KP in a holiday camp kitchen. Stayed there on and off for a few years, never needing an interview because apparently i was "the best KP ive ever seen" (says the boss).
Second job my mom got me, KP at a restaurant she was managing. Again i was commended on being a very good KP.
Third and current job, aunt offered me a job as a tea lady in a residential home. I took the interview and passed, though i think i already had the job anyway and the interview was just so they had it for record. Tea lady later turned into carer, now im starting to go into KPing again for the same place.

Feels bad being unqualified. Being good at a shit job isnt much better either.

>aspect of culture

It's not an aspect of culture, it's common bloody sense. Turn out well, make a good impression. It's not an aspect of culture, it's a method of communication. Want the job or fuck off.

Now I've heard of stealing road cones and the temporary signs that are placed near roadworks, but this takes the proverbial biscuit. Just went out for a fag and saw this.

Ah, fair then. In most of the ground floor flats, there are panels which can be/have already been cut out of the carpet, from which you can access these small tunnels which run along the length of the halls. I've only ever been about 20 metres down one, but a few other people have made the journey to other flats. My own didn't have an access, sadly. They're pretty cramped, about 3 feet high. A second year told me he managed to transport a door through there, which would probably be possible.
I assume they're some kind of precaution, but I really have no idea.

Wasn't so funny when it got into the Telegraph, the BBC, and finally Farmers Weekly.

975 EXAM SEASON IS UPON US
It just started for me.

What's your situation? What exams does everyone have? Feeling confident or anxious?

I'm in final year of uni and I'm feeling so confident I have to sit on balls. I have my first exam in 10 hours and 45 minutes

With the economy in the state it's in, and heading following the cuts, more and more people will be in that position.

It wasn't as bad as expected for me, I just waffled a bit though, what came up in yours exactly? I've actually forgotten what was in mine, but I'm sure if yours is the same it'll refresh my memory.

So say, a University gives you an offer of 'A minimum of 240 UCAS tariff points from 3 or more', does that mean that they won't ever accept lower? Or is it not as strict as that?

(Bearing in mind the course requirements officially are 300, but after the interview they dropped it to 240 for me)

Edinburgh are dicks. That's not to say you won't get in if you don't quite make the grade, but it'll largely be down to luck regarding how many places there are on the course.

I was predicted AAA, two other unis gave me AAA offers for pol, so I was so happy at the Ed offer. I haven't dossed this year (I might make out that to look cool), I've genuinely struggled. I just hope that if I fuck up they be all 'he safe n1gz' but TSR make them out to be heartless. Thanks anyway man.

I'm this guy. Sorry ladm8s. Anyone know what kind of courses are lowly subscribed. If I missed the grades at Ed I would consider - East Asian studies, Chinese (of which I have been studying) or South Asian Studies with Arabic. I'm unsure whether these (particularly the latter) are 'lol soo randum ^_^' so they'll have places free on the course OR, are so specific that 20 nerds will be all they will take. Thoughts? thanks
