Good luck.

I am at Uni going into third year honours and take out one week loans all the time and renew every week.
If you want to buy that book you can get cheap on Amazon.0 -
thanks, i can't get online to renew it until i actually register for my course on wed. I managed to get it out with my summer school student card.
It is only £7 on Amazon, so i think i will just buy it when i get my student loan (hoping by fri, if not def by monday) Cause i know it will come in really handy0 -
Some years back I did a two year (science based) HND course at University and then transferred to a degree course. I was able to skip the first year of the degree course and had no problem managing with the work (got a 2:1 in my honours degree - woo hoo!). I had to get an overall merit (65%+) in the HND to be able to do this - basically demonstrating to the University that I would be able to cope with a higher level.
The degree was four years long (Years 1, 2 and 4 were study years and Year 3 was an industrial placement year). Hey presto - 2 year HND, 2 years studying for my degree and 1 year working. The only problem I had was getting back into the books again after spending the 3rd year working!!
I hope it works out for you.Norn Iron Club Member 3300 -

thanks everyone
I'm sure i'll manage to muddle through this year, and possibly honors year if i decide to stay on!
I even signed up to study abroad during semester B this year...i hope i get to, i think it would be a great experience! I done an exchange trip to Madrid when i was doing my standard grade Spanish in school, and that was awesome, but my Spanish has improved so much more since then, i think it would be better this time around.0 -
I've just moved from an FD in a college to Year 3 in a Uni. Even though my course is art based one of the first things we learned was the Harvard system. We had to keep learning journals constantly and worked to the same modules as the Uni we were linked with. The joy on my face when I was told the Uni I'm at now don't do the journal system shone around the room
3rd year is always going to be difficult, you are coming in to a clique of people who have known each other for 3 years or more, yes you are expected to have a good knowledge at that stage but if you are prepared to 'hit the ground running' so to speak you can catch up.0 -

thanks, there are 30 of us going straight into 3rd year from college, so we are kinda in the same position. Plus 30 from 2nd year, going into 3rd year as well. So it's a good mix i think.
ps love your avatar!!! I love true blood0 -
Gotta admire you littlepink, as you know I've started an access course with a view to studying English next year, there is no way I would go straight to uni having spent only two years at college - I'm using my access course as a but of fun, by that I mean it's a gentle way of relaxing me into student life, and at the same time I am continuing with my OU studies as I feel that may be more advantageous to me than my access course, despite the fact I am on the SWAP and am guaranteed a place at uni subject to grades. I get the impression you are a lot young than me, I am pushing 40 so am a lot older than the students on my course, but I'm enjoying it, but I want to experience the whole uni thing, not kind of miss out the first couple of years then try and catch up.
I still can't believe you didn't have to use any books for an HND in tourism, I've forked over £100 for my course books already, Perth College doesn't seem to give you any handouts at all!
Good luck, thanks for starting the thread as it's given me a lot of useful pointers.0
