    I'm so glad for it to be over, my uni has been a joke for the past three years, alocholic lecturers, lecturers getting sacked, getting told my dissertation has to be started again after 3 months worth of work cos the lecturer who got sacked told me i could do it, then got sacked and it turned out i couldnt do it! what a joke! no contact of lecturers ... ever ... one reply of three years of emailing! get me away from the place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    And would you care to tell us which "university" this is? I can assure that things are very different at the universities I know first-hand (Exeter, UEA, Open University). By the sound of things you are at Oxford, in which case just the fact that you have been there will get you a job, so no need to worry about the degree.

    i will be so glad when i get this dissertation done, but i'll really miss uni. i've tasted working life and i know how sh*t the next 40 odd years are going to be.

    i'll miss staying in bed for 18 hours solid (i did that yesterday!), taking a month off when i feel like it, getting completely smashed throughout the week, and i'll miss my friends.
    What's it going to be, eh?

    Nope, not Oxford for me I'm afraid, Teesside, not exactly the best uni in the world, but cirsumstances being what they were a the time, a good choice for me or so I thought!

    I started out at Liverpool but ended up returning home and taking a year out to get some money together, then started at Teesside the next year with a totally different course (Liverpool = Aerospace Engineering, Teesside = Nutrition and Health Sciences)

    I must say tho, the best thing to come out of Teesside was meeting my bloke :)
  • I had quite a few mates do Aerospace engineering at liverpool.. those guys had it tough when it came to exams

    I can't wait to leave - I HATE uni so finishing is all I've been thinking about for the past 2.5 years.

    I hated it too. Life's just got better and better since I left the dump. It's onwards and upwards baby! :)

    My law finals start tomorrow at 9.30am...after four years I am still not ready for them! but in two and half weeks it will all be over and that is a GREAT thought, I never thought i'd make it, and I can't wait for my parents to see me at graduation cheesorama or what :o

    mind you still another year in postgrad study and two years in a traineeship...SO better be worth it!

    hello folks, sorry its time to gloat.....I'VE FINISHED! yay! :j

    Thanks to everyone who wished me luck, there were dark days but it's great to be finished.

    To everyone who seems like its too much/never gonna end-good luck its horrible but it is worth it in the end :D (cue cheesy music from little house on the prairie)

    i'm off to watch TV if I can remember how to work it! xxxx
