Anyone applying to go to uni this year? what you gonna do?

i really want to go to UMIST to do chemical engineering + i've got my interview next week

i really hope they don't increase fees coz that would make me broke....r than i already am. any opinion on the fees thing or know what they're going to do or when? will it affect those already at uni?

I do all my studies part time. It takes longer and is more expensive than full time study, but it allows me a deeper understanding of the material, as I can pace myself.

I am in the process of obtaining B.A (Philosophy) and B.Th (Scriptural studies) degrees.

I am registered for a B.Com (management) as well, but I have lost interest in this. I might continue this degree in a few years time.

I'm not going to uni. Instead I'm going to study musical theatre at stage school and get my qualifications as a dance teacher- its what I've always dreamed of and its finally coming true! Mx

elendili · 01-27-2003, 07:15 AM

im glad ur dream came true

i want to become a plastic explosives expert and blow things up, i've already mastered the mystery of gunpowder

philosophy the only thing i know about is i think therefore i am sounds impressive though good luck with it, it would probably be my worst nightmare *shudder* damn the words

Draken · 01-27-2003, 11:52 AM

Ah those days are well behind me, I just work at one now. Better paid but less fun!

Congrats to the talented Miranda!

elendili, plastic explosives are easy, nice and inert and malleable, just stick a lump where you want it, insert a det and retire. We always used L2A1 dets as standard but the RP80 had a bit more kick.

Sound the siren, wire up the detbox, press the button, bang.

Ok, that was a bit simplified, but you get the picture!

Hmm, did one lot of formal university years ago........that was boring as sin (the subject not the uni)...

Currently studying through the Open University for my BA - Humanities (not specialised so I get to do a little bit of everything).

Arien the Maia · 01-27-2003, 02:24 PM

I go to IPFW...well tecnically Indiana U. I am studying Graphic Design and WEb Design so it isn't too bad but the projects take FOREVER to do! I hope to graduate with a B.F.A. in Fine Arts may 2004...wish me luck at getting a job

Shadowfax · 01-27-2003, 03:58 PM

I'm going to go to university next year (I'm grade 11 right now), and study Medieval Life & Literature, as well as French, and I don't know what else.

Evenstar1400 · 01-27-2003, 09:12 PM

I went to uni this last semester.

afro-elf · 01-29-2003, 10:10 PM

As I posted earlier I am going back to school again.

I have an

AA in general studies/ health sciences

BA in Philosophy

MA in ESL

BUT I really BS'ed my way through them so now I am going back to really work and earn my degree

I am going to study epidemiology this time.

***Khamûl*** · 01-30-2003, 12:22 AM

I'm planning to attend either Auburn University, the University of Alabama or Troy State University next fall. Probably Troy St. I'll major in pre-engineering at Troy and transfer to a major university after 2 years to major in civil engineering.

markedel · 01-30-2003, 04:46 PM

I'm at Queen's University in first-year taking a medial (double major) History/Political Studies BA Honours degree. I'm (fortunetly) not paying my undergrad tuition, though the University constantly threatens deregulated tuition. That would be bad...the results of incompetant government. But university itself is great, well except for the work.

Good beer though.

Well, from my perspective it's not really about money.

I see absolutely no problem in obtaining my Batchelors, Honours, Masters, and Doctorates in both Philosophy and Theology, fields which, for me at least, would leave only teaching and writing as possible income sources.

Baby-K · 01-31-2003, 11:24 AM

I did a BA Communications with English Lit & Business Communication as majors, but enjoyed my specs more - Journalism, Visual Studies & Media Management. Some of the subjects I took along the way are now starting to haunt me, I guess I am now finally starting to realise the validity of some of them, like Political Studies, Philosophy & Industrial Psychology.

Lady of Rohan · 01-31-2003, 11:46 AM

I don't even have to think about university right now! I'm only in grad 6 so university is far, far away for me!

. Good luck to evry one who needs good luck though!

eowyngirl14 · 01-31-2003, 03:24 PM

I will start hischool this coming Fall (yes, becasue the leaves all fall down...) I am really scared. I have no idea what I want to do the rest of my life! And there are several schools I have to choses from. One is a Performing Arts school. I would really like to take modern dance there, but I have no experience in any sort of dance.

Good luck ya'll!
