Aufc Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Why put yourself through that? The reward is a degree, which gets you absolutely nowhere nowadays. University isn't worthwhile. Anyone who says that usually end up as a taxi driver. An example of this is ayrmad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An example of this is ayrmad It really depends on the field you want to go in to. The field I am aiming to go in to, most employers seem to prefer people with a HND rather than a degree, so that's what I'm studying for at the moment. A degree is a good thing to have, but it's not the be all and end all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coooombe Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 What I've learned this week is that in 4th year I can't handle freshers week any more. Been out 4 nights out of the past 5 and now I'm a complete burst baw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR96 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Any tips on buying books? Had a look on Amazon and they're ripping the arse right out of it. Are there any book websites exclusively for students? Got our sixth and final flatmate today as well. Out of the other 4, I only get on with one of them and the rest are boring as f**k and seem quite content to either sit in their room and make no effort with anybody or go out with pals they already had. She's a good laugh so far so hopefully having her here will make the atmosphere in the flat a little less awkward because there's only like 2 people who actually make an effort (myself included). Loving it for the most part, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeeperDee Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Make use of the library in 1st year. The books you get in 2nd year I think will last you all the way through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SodjesSixteenIncher Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 6. Was registered on the modules for OU a few weeks ago pending the part-time fee grant coming through. Got an email about some induction day saying words to the effect of 'now that your payment has been finalised'. Take it they do send out some kind of confirmation? Sent forms to OU to pass onto SAAS so maybe they'd find out first but don't want to get halfway through the year and find out that I need to find a grand or get launched. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Dougal McGuire Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 The only book I needed in first and second year was for an open book exam. The rest were a waste of time especially at the price they are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
