Leeds Ram Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I have been offered a place at Lancaster University, just wondering if anyone has been and what they thought of it in general. I have been offered a place at Loughborough, Goldsmiths and am waiting on coventry but I'm definitely not going and waiting upon York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyram Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Dav got offered a place at Oxford over 10 years ago.

SillyBilly Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Graduated from lough uni and still have ties now, brilliant research uni. Usually sneaks into top 10 overall. Crap for totty loadsa engineers, sportsmen and scientists. I turned down bristol and regretted it, have to take into account the social side as well as academic. Women, beer and things to do should be considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of applying to Notts but I would end up living at home and while I love my home if i don't go now I will never go. What does Dav do?

We had a list of 100 or so projects to choose from, I did f all preparation and chose the one with the shortest title that sounded the easiest (most people did tonnes of research about it) and I soon found out it was the hardest fecking one and had to work in a special nitrogen atmosphere room whilst my mates pissed about in the main labs. 15 years later I'm still doing it, funny how life works!

ladyram Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 He's doing his PGCE in maths but at the min he's working in a secondary school. He's only at Uni about a day or 2 a month now. It's more "on the job". He's about a third of the way to his masters so still got a long way to go there. In the future he hopes to go into the research side of things I think.

ladyram Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Why are you dreading it yr? Is it purely because you don't want to leave home? If it is, can you not try Notts or one nearer to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
