1. Are you a student at University? (If no go to question 3)
Technically yes until July 1st when my course officially ends.
2. Do you enjoy University?
Yes :).
3. What course(s) do you do/would like to do?
What I do/did: BSc Honours Psychology.
What I would also like to do: Media, Teaching.
4. What Universities would you recommend and why?
Staffordshire (since its the university I've attended ;P), Liverpool Hope, Aberystwyth, York, Lancaster, and UCLAN.
5. Would you recommend any course(s)? If yes which course(s)?
Yes. Psychology, Counselling, Forensic Science, Media, Criminology, Journalism.
6. (For those at University.) How much did it cost?
The tuition fees for my last year was £3290. I think my second year was £3250. I can't remember my first year, although I know it was above £3000.
7. Would you recommend going to University over employment?
It really depends on what you want to do, and if the course you choose is going to help you in the future career you want or not.
8. (For those at University.) Is it easy to settle in?
It was. Universities always try help students get well adjusted to uni life, and new people. After Freshers' Week and the first week of the course, I found a few good friends and things just kept getting better.
9. (For those at University.) What do you enjoy/not enjoy at University and why?
What I did enjoy was the openness of the university and the helpful nature of the faculty I was involved with. I loved most of the modules and topics I was studying and at times even enjoyed doing the assignments. I really enjoyed the night life also, with particular regards to Comedy Night which was a 2 weekly event held at Staffordshire Universities' Ember Lounge.
What I didn't enjoy, in particular in the third year, was a policy the university introduced which meant that in order to qualify for a resit, you had to submit something for an assignment by deadline, where beforehand it was simply if you didn't submit or failed, you qualified for a resit. Although I always handed in my coursework on time, the added pressure from it was immense. I also didn't like having to do presentations, but that was really a course specific thing as some courses don't require you to do them.
10. If you have a job how easy was it to find your placement?
At the moment I don't have a job, but the career I'm looking into, it does seem easy to find a placement, once you have the right certification in place.

1. Are you a student at University? (If no go to question 3)
Yep!
2. Do you enjoy University?
Depends on the day of the week.
3. What course(s) do you do/would like to do?
English and Creative Writing
4. What Universities would you recommend and why?
Chester. Great city, and a smallish uni that has a good community feel.
5. Would you recommend any course(s)? If yes which course(s)?
English because it's magical and the texts studied are pretty darn good.
6. (For those at University.) How much did it cost?
Over 3k a year (can't remember the exact sum)
7. Would you recommend going to University over employment?
Certainly. It's a great experience and it has already taught me a lot about independence, and that's aside from my subject choice.
8. (For those at University.) Is it easy to settle in?
I think it depends on the circumstances. For me, I found it easy to settle in as I am/was placed in a house with 4/5 other people and I found that easier than I would do if I had been staying in halls.
9. (For those at University.) What do you enjoy/not enjoy at University and why?
The variety of texts that I study and the subject matter can be very interesting. The only thing I really don't enjoy is the assignments, but I think that's to be expected.
