Posted January 28, 2009 Yeah, obviously I am going to get a student loan - I'm not that bad at life. There's no two ways around the fact I have to earn shitloads of money - at some point. Is it pressure to do an mmath? It is all the rage these days. I would think it's easy to switch between the two courses if that is the case. It was at Newcastle in my day (graduated in 2002). Yeah, I think its mmath. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 28, 2009 They are typically the same course for the first couple of years so don't sweat it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 29, 2009 Most unis encourage you to do the 4 year MMath rather than the 3 year BSc, since if you aren't doing so well in the 2nd year it's easy to switch down to the 3 year course (as Odwin said, the first two years are the same). I'm currently on the 3 year but will move to the 4 year if I've done well enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 30, 2009 Moogle; halls of residence generally all have everything included. Some places charge you for internet access, but it's rare. I think once clearance day passes, you should receive a pack from your uni that includes accomodation details. Be careful where you choose - some places may not even have internet! wtf!

Posted January 30, 2009 I got a letter from Oxford, about student funding and stuff. There are two maths courses - a 3 year one, and a 4 year one - and I had always intended to do a 3 year one. However, the tone of the letter made it crystal clear that I'm supposed to do the 4 year course. I dunno if my parents will be able to afford it, since they're supporting my eldest sister through 4 more years of Medicine, my second oldest through another year of Economics, and then my younger sister through 5 years of private schooling (then there's my littlest sister but my parents will long be retired when it comes to her school/uni funds. She's dyslexic/has learning difficulties/can't speak properly, so I dunno how my parents will address that - it's funny, considering all the other siblings are above averagely intelligent). Basically - I need to earn shitloads of money somehow. Why not go to a Scottish Uni and get the free tuition bollocks? I once raised the idea with my parents of perhaps going to Oxbridge and just about got shot. And surely you'd rather get a Masters than a Bachelors given the choice?

And surely you'd rather get a Masters than a Bachelors given the choice? Because Oxbridge is famously good. It would be mighty pointless to not go to Oxford, when I've got through all the interviews and entrance exam. And also job prospects are lovely. And I feel too familiar with all the Scottish cities/towns. I've only ever been to Oxford once, so it feels lovely that its totally new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think once clearance day passes, you should receive a pack from your uni that includes accomodation details. Be careful where you choose - some places may not even have internet! wtf! Not at sheffield it isn't, because Unite dominates quite alot of halls here, they charge an excessive amount just for the internet. I think out of the pack there was only one place that didn't have the internet, very upsetting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 7, 2009 St Andrews gave me an unconditional yesterday for Computer Science, Edinburgh and Strathclyde gave me the same as well. Glasgow are just messing about it seems. I'm not really sure what to do, St Andrews is probably my first choice but I Edinburgh's department is probably the best in Scotland. Sigh decisions... Can somebody explain the student loans? Maybe i'm just being an idiot but I don't really understand why my folk's have to contribute to me taking out a loan, I will only have to pay what the government lends me yeah?
