  1. You seriously bumped a thread that hasn't been used in 5 years, instead of just starting one!!

     

    God I was just surprised to actually see a thread that I had posted in still on the first page


  2. Yeah the number pad is slightly bothersome, but since it was a keyboard for my laptop when at home that wasn't much of a bargain breaker for me. It's fucking awesome though! I love customizing it and the rainbow affect is brilliant.

     

    Also the number pad is available online on random sites...for like £70 or something. Which was not worth buying for me..although I am trying to find a Korean buddy who can order it off the Korean Luxeed site for about $50.


  3. This didn't necessarily happen today..but I don't think creating a whole new thread to express my enthusiasm was necessary.

     

    Anyway, I got accepted to Seattle University and University of Manchester! :)

     

    Those were my top two choices for colleges so I'm very excited and proud of myself, now I just gotta make a decision..


  4. Hey. :)

     

    I went to the UoM and did a degree in Cell Biology, and I'm going back in less than 2 weeks now to do a masters.

     

    You definitely don't need a car. There's a huge number of buses every minute that all take you past the university, including some that are free to ride for students of the university.

     

    The entry requirements depend on the course. You're best off looking at the UCAS website for the requirements of a course you want to do, and check if you think that's realistic of what you can achieve.

     

    Manchester is great. It has much more going on than most cities and it's big. But not as big as London, which in my opinion is a good thing. I can honestly say I don't know anyone who went to my university and didn't like the area or university. When you register to the uni try and get the payment done beforehand via the online system (you'll get a welcome pack that let's you do this), meaning you get to avoid a huge several-hour queue at Whitworth hall.

     

    All in all, Manchester is a great place and right up there, particularly for life sciences. Go for it!

     

    nice =] maybe i'll see ya around next year then! good thing about a car... I was kinda hoping a car would not be necessary. What about housing? what would you recommend?

     

    Depends what you're planning on studying. If you tell me I might know someone in the same subject area. To be honest, as long as you get good grades in your senior year you should get accepted...

     

    I hate to sound cynical and I'm sure someone will sound me down but as you're an overseas student, the uni will get quite a bit more money from you than they would from a UK student. As universities are businesses first really then it makes sense that you would get in... You'd still need the grades though obviously...

     

    You been on the ucas website? www.ucas.ac.uk That's where all british students go to apply to any uk uni. Not sure if the same applies for overseas students but I bet it does.

     

    I've been thinking about studying Computer Science/Engineering.

     

    More then likely if I chose Manchester/got in I would sign up for this course.


  5. Well those were just questions that came into mind, I don't specifically just need those answers. Just general Do's and Dont's for the university.

     

    My main question is for people that got accepted, what do you recommend for the whole applying process? Just from what you learned.

     

    thanks everybody btw =]


  6. So as a senior this year, I've been looking at colleges world wide to attend next year and the University of Manchester looks pretty nice.

     

    Anyone been?

     

    Anyone going?

     

    Anyone graduated?

     

    Have any hints/tips, for admission, living, need a car?, general requirements for entry, is it nice? etc.

     

    A well educated coworker of mine is heading to the UK for his vacation and he's going to check it out for me and see whats up.

     

    But what do you guys got to say about it?


  7. Umm I wouldn't really say that..

     

    The troopers that my dad drives around on the boat (he's not a trooper, he just drives them around..makes more money then them.) They just go about the water in Alaska and make sure no Russians are fishing in Alaskan waters and making sure everybody is fishing the right stuff in the right season.

     

    More like cops, then an "army reserve."


  8. My day was alright nothing interesting..decorated and "modded" some shopping carts that was fun though.

     

    Video from a couple nights ago.

    Our Safeway is being redone so we grabbed some shopping carts that they had left by the dumpster and put them to use. Enjoy =]

     

    (I'm filming)


  9. Again MoogleViper, thanks for buying my shirts!

    Also a big thank you to Aimless and Sprout for buying my shirts as well! ^___^

     

    For anyone interested, you can still get 15% off the shirt for a few more hours I think. And the Robot one seems to be popular haha. Thanks go out to Sprout (again) for giving me the idea of "doing something with a robot" and for helping with the font. =D

     

    Does the site ship internationally?...at a reasonable price. I'm doing clothe shopping soon and I'd love to pick up some if they can ship to me.

     

    What I bought today off eBay.

     

    UltraIISDHC16GBRight.jpg

    For my new camera, $39.99

     

    6e93_8.JPG

    Honestly, one of the best games ever. I borrowed it, got 1000, but I'm coming back for more! $10.99


  10. The complete overhaul of avatars and all the added things is welcomed, but not completely necessary. As in, I'm excited for the game rewards, but not to excited about buying things for my avatar.

     

    I think the adding of a number on your gamercard to show how many years you've been a member is quite a nice addition to, along with the "mysterious message" hinting that rewards will come for long time members.

     

    The rating system for dlc and games..cool, but unnecessary imo.

     

    The reorganization of the menues is actually quite nice. Very nicely put together, nothing really that makes you think "Why the hell did they put this here?"

     

    And one last little thing that I noticed and is a really cool thing is an overall achievement page. They use to have this before NXE, but once NXE came this page disappeared. However, now its back and just as nice. It shows your overall gamerscore and overall achievements along with the amount of games that you have "completed." The only thing I don't like about it is you can only view the latest 12 games that you have completed..I don't see where you can view the rest of them.

     

    Well overall I believe it is quite a nice dashboard update. :)
