seeing as stfc_dave was asking uni questions..

UWEs accomodation is immense. Half of its brand spanking new, but that does mean it costs abit. I think its £104 a week in the new accomodation, and £70-ish in the old, but they are really nice rooms. Their also apparently spending £150 million on new bulidings in the near future, but whether that was just claptrap to try and make me go i dont know. It is right on the outskirts of bristol aswell.

Thats pretty much all i can remember from the open day the other week. What course you doing? Im assuming its business related

I got an offer from Liverpool although never visited.  I loved leeds University it was my second choice but was near the city, however the accomodation was poorly located.  I loved Birmingham Uni, however wouldn't recommend Birmingham City University (formerly BCU) where i study now.  Posh halls aren't all that, IMHO, it's all about the atmosphere and the city itself, my time in the 11 storey tower block in my first year was brilliant.

I went to Birmingham, good university and loved my time there.

It's much more fun living in a bit of shit hole. Should be part of the experience. If it's a choice between plaster on the walls and an extra £30 a week to spend on beer then the correct decision is incredibly obvious.

my mate is currently studying at Birmingham uni. I saw him a couple of weeks ago and he is enjoying it in the midlands.

I reckon 40?

Dave whats business course are you doing? what do you plan on doing after?

Business Studies & Operations Management BSc, you can tweak that a bit depending on the Uni itself but that's the general idea.

After I'd possibly be looking at going back into the finance sector where I am now, basically I can't really further myself from where I am now without a degree and also with alot of mates at uni the last 18 months has made me feel like I'm missing out.

So no definate ideas yet mate but probably try and get back into the same area I'm in now but I suppose a degree broadens your prospects anyway, and when I graduate I'll have nearly 3 years of proper work behind me as well which will stand me in better stead I think

[cib]

has anyone on here, or does anyone know anyone, who has been to liverpool or bristol university?

I know a few people who go to both and they both love it. Best idea would be to go to them again and see which you prefer, if the courses they do are suited to you and you like the atmosphere of the place can't go wrong.

I visited Leeds and thought i'd rather cut balls off and give them a hobo than go to Uni there, and i loved Manchester. Horses for courses, once you've been to see them you'll know which one is best for you.

Good luck in it Dave, its a sad world when you have to go one teh piss for 3 years just to move up th laddre
