CVD Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I'm at Strathclyde (in Glasgow) just staying at home - no way I could afford to stay in the halls, even with a student loan. I'm doing Economics, Business Law, Finance and Human Resource Management. Growing up sucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Ah dear i should have been at bournemouth this year but i chose to, rather foolishly, pursue foundation art at central saint martins....i should have gone and done 3D animation at Bournemouth damnit. Alas a year of art, if i choose not to drop out....god damn it better be worth it....least its free though. Get the Foundation Art done, as it'll help you a hell of alot later on once you finish your degree at Bournemouth. I did kind of plan to go to Bournemouth and do that exact same course as you listed above, but the entry requirements are 300 UCAs points plus at least a B in GCSE Maths; the maths will be needed because the course is more technically focused, requiring you to program plug-ins, etc. I missed out on a B in my maths during GCSE, and the most UCAs points I'll probably achieve once I finish my BTEC diploma this year is 200 from a Merit/Merit/Pass, and then add another 30 onto that from a previous AS level a few years back which puts Bournemouth just out of my reach. The Uni's that I'm interested in going to (in order) are Lincoln, Huddersfield, and Staffordshire..................I just hope my last year at college goes better than I'm expecting.

Grebe Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I'm starting 5th year at Secondary school and have no idea at all what I want to do afterwards... woot! ha thats easy. Go to college. Dont not go to college because itl be likely youl regret it later. Also pick the college carefully. My mate chose the wrong one, and dropped out. He could have done well. Or an apprentiship. I hear some of those are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could let me know how the course pans out aswell it would be a great help to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took Foundation Art and it was great - deffinatley worth it if you're planning to move on to uni. Wolverhampton uni gave me a conditional offer straight away because of it. I passed my art and will be starting there Monday. I'm doing a BA Hons. in Graphic Communication. W00t, can't wait!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grebe Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Are you guys staying on campus uni's? Or halls of residence? im not sure which the best is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I don't know if I'm ready to go to uni right now. My city is relatively small, but we have almost everything ad it's safe and calm. I'm moving into Lisbon, which is our capital, so life will be much more stressful. And my health is not so good right now, I have some stomach problems, so I'm kind of nervous. I hope I can adapt to it fast. Growing up sucks indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackfox Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Are you guys staying on campus uni's?

CoolFunkMan Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Are you guys staying on campus uni's? Or halls of residence? im not sure which the best is Living at home - that way I got parents that can cook and wash for me. :p Seriously though I'm thinking more about the cost of living at uni and I don't mind living at home tbh. However, if travel starts to become too much of an issue (it can take a while to get to Wolvo from where I live) I will consider living at uni.
