Are you starting University?

[Mathew]

You might get to meet Hecktix lucky devil.

Anyway, there was also the cost that put me off :p.

Awww Sam, the cost shouldn't put you off at all. You don't start paying it back until you're earning over £22,000 and only then it works out at £90 per year. It's highly unlikely that people will repay the full amount as it's written off after 30 years anyway.

Oh best of luck bud I'm heading down to Portsmouth uni

Thank you! You too!

Going into 12th grade this coming school year I'm Head Boy too!

I was the Head Boy in Year 11, woooo!!

@lawrawrrr;

Yeah maybe so but it's still the wonder whether I'd fail or not and not like it. I'd rather try get a job than go to uni for 3/4 years and not get anywhere.

Also @luce; I remember seeing his hometown or something of Lancaster that's why I said it - geography's not my strong point .

[lawrawrrr]

@Samanfa; Fair enough! It is quite tense when you don't know LOL

[Jurv]

nope. i'm starting college this year! good luck to those who are going university though, haha

[Shar]

I'm starting this Sep & I really can't wait I am going to study Criminology and Forensics :cool_blue any other criminology students out there? :>

That sounds great

If everything goes to plan... yes! Need AAB to get into Lancaster University to study BA English Language. They offer two minor options too, so I'm considering either Sociology, Criminology or Sociolinguistics.

Sociolinguistics sounds interesting, what does that entail?

He studies Psychology at Royal Holloway??

And i'm going to UCL to study Psychology before doing a masters in forensics and either being head hunted by the FBI or running MI5. I'd take either. ;-)

that would be cool

Aww Sam you never know, going through 3/4 years of uni especially with a sandwich year (placement), may get you somewhere or give you a starting point. However, having said that, uni isn't the only option, find the best that suits you. Good luck with finding a job

I should be going to uni this year hopefully.

Sociolinguistics sounds interesting, what does that entail?

Sociolinguistics looks at how language differs in relation to one's region, occupation, class, gender and ethnicity. There's some modules in the main English Language degree that allow me to look at English in a social context / Accents, Dialects / etc, so perhaps I'll just stick with that and choose Sociology and Criminology as my two additional. Not sure yet!

Wow that sounds so interesting I'd love to do that! Although sociology and criminology sounds more compatible and they're very interesting subjects to study as well.

I would love to work for MI5 oneday! but my main goal is to become a forensic officer or detective

Going into 12th grade this coming school year I'm Head Boy too!

Oh nice one! When i was in school, I was a senior prefect and I was one out of three to get judged and interviews to become the 'head' but I didn't get it :L lol.

Indeed, my friend has got a scholarship from Uni. of Kent for her journalism Hons.

nope. i'm starting college this year! good luck to those who are going university though, haha

Ohh best of luck, what subject have you chosen?

Wooah, that sounds quite interesting! Depending on what filed you wish to enter you might want to do Sociology and Criminology as it will open more doors for you

Do you study anything Shar? Or already have done?

@Jarkie I've just finished A level exams this week and now I'm waiting for results day to see if I have got the grades I need for uni
