[Arron]

1. Are you a student at University? (If no go to question 3)

2. Do you enjoy University?

3. What course(s) do you do/would like to do?
I do a Public Services course at college at Level 3 (A Level)

4. What Universities would you recommend and why?
I don't know to much about Universities but a lot of people talk about Edge Hill Uni around my area.

5. Would you recommend any course(s)? If yes which course(s)?
Definitely Public Services for anyone who would like to know more about the Armed and Uniformed Services such as the Police, Ambulance, Fire Brigade, Army, Navy and The Marines.

6. (For those at University.) How much did it cost?

7. Would you recommend going to University over employment?
If I was looking at going to University but got a job in the Police then no, I wouldn't recommend going to University.

8. (For those at University.) Is it easy to settle in?

9. (For those at University.) What do you enjoy/not enjoy at University and why?

10. If you have a job how easy was it to find your placement?

[Inseriousity.]

1. Are you a student at University? (If no go to question 3)
Yes

2. Do you enjoy University?
Yes

3. What course(s) do you do/would like to do?
Theology + Religious Studies + Education Studies

4. What Universities would you recommend and why?
I've only ever seen two. Teesside and York St John. I go to YSJ and it's very good but I wouldn't "recommend" it because different people suit different courses, different styles.

5. Would you recommend any course(s)? If yes which course(s)?
Again, like above, no I wouldn't. What's right for you isn't always going to be right for someone else.

6. (For those at University.) How much did it cost?
£5675 if you add cost of loan + tuition fees together.

7. Would you recommend going to University over employment?
Depends on what the person wants to do.

8. (For those at University.) Is it easy to settle in?
Depends on the person. I don't really adapt very well to new environments and found it difficult, made even harder because I commute rather than stay there.

9. (For those at University.) What do you enjoy/not enjoy at University and why?
I enjoy my course, I enjoy the teachers and the students are friendly. I don't enjoy REFERENCING... because it's so annoying and ruins my flow when writing an essay!

10. If you have a job how easy was it to find your placement?
dont have one

[Red]

1. Are you a student at University? (If no go to question 3) yes

2. Do you enjoy University? Love it

3. What course(s) do you do/would like to do?
BA Modern History

4. What Universities would you recommend and why?
I'd say go with those in the Russel group

5. Would you recommend any course(s)? If yes which course(s)?
Just do what you enjoy. There's no point doing something you think is good but hate. Fees are too expensive to be dropping out

6. (For those at University.) How much did it cost?
too much its around 3k for university costs.. and then like that again for living

7. Would you recommend going to University over employment?
If you are academic or if your job requires a degree but its not necessarily the best route, especially with rising fees. If you better at practical side of things like a craft then pursue that.

8. (For those at University.) Is it easy to settle in?
Yea really easy I love having my own space and feel smothered when I come back home. I think it is easier if you live away from home. A lot of my friends who travel don't like uni at all because you miss out on the whole social side.

9. (For those at University.) What do you enjoy/not enjoy at University and why?
I love the freedom and uni life in general. I prefer independent study and having no one to chase you up. Worst thing is how all your essay dates are cramped together and then for those few weeks you don't have a life. Longest time in the lib was from 10am-7am next day. LMAO

10. If you have a job how easy was it to find your placement?
Don't have one
