yoda Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 My brother is going to Aberdeen to do Management next year. He's coming to Pittodrie for a County game next season whether he likes it or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supras Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Study hard and you may end up with first class honours in 'Making Pals'. Yep, exactly the kind of attitude which will see you pumped out after 1 and a half terms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Study hard and you may end up with first class honours in 'Making Pals'. 1st lecture of that course: Listen and repeat: "What's your name, where you from and what are you doing?". 15 credits right there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this make you angry? It's cheaper than having you dossing about on taxpayers money looking for a job and failing to get one, so I'd imagine it probably doesn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Yep. Its just somewhere to sleep for a few months, when did students start getting so damn fussy? It's easy to look down on others when my halls have an en-suite bathroom and a big HD television in the communal area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this make you angry? Nah, but seriously, it's the kind of attitude that doesn't really work. People do get pumped out quickly if they don't take it at all seriously, my cousin was pumped out of RGU for this exact reason. Or worse if you scramble into honours then fail you've effectively wasted two years. Socialising is important, but people that go out clubbing before exams or just don't hand in coursework are just wasting their time really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremely doubtful. I wouldn't have a problem with being on the dole for 4 years if it were possible. Waking up at 3pm and having Ricicles for dinner actually sounds quite good tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought that the primary reason that you went to university was to gain qualifications that would one day see you compete for top jobs or at least a job that you really wanted to do. The social aspect being an everyday occurence just like life outside a university course. Silly me! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother joined the 'I went out drinking and put in minimum effort, ain't I so cool?!' gang when he was at uni. Needless to say he spent three and a half years at uni building up student loan debt along with a hefty SAAS bill because of a repeated year before dropping out without even making third year. Pretty expensive party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKee Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) Tuition fees paid by Scottish Government: £1820 per annum Job-seekers' allowance: £2780 per annum Uh-huh, and how probable is being on JSA for 1 hole year, never mind 4 consecutive years?

The social aspect being an everyday occurence just like life outside a university course. Silly me! The social thing is important as you actually encounter people outside your normal peer group. Its people of all backgrounds and nationalities thrown together, and its a good thing, because it is a lot different from socialising with the same pals all your life. Obviously, there has to be balance, but going just to get a job is a terrible attitude imo, and people that do that tend not to get the most out of uni, and in most cases, it can be a wasted experience. I'm not saying just go to party or anything like that, but the social aspect is definitely important. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
