Freshers week might be alright, but theres at elast 3 years of work ahead. Not to mention the debt that piles up.

I don't recommend uni, not unless you have a specific reason for getting that particular degree you are reading for

Not true, I've been to countless Freshers' weeks, but I was only a student for 4 months.

As for what is there to do? I could tell you, but Maria may read this, so it's better for you if I don't. Trust me.

For god's sake, it's all about getting laid...simple as that.

My middle daughter is at Lincoln studying Child Psych, I'm not really bothered what she gets up to, to be perfectly honest, as long as it's mainly legal. She's just a normal teenager doing normal teenager things.

I'm just going into my third year at Kent Uni; what's your son doing and where's he staying? The road all through canterbury yesterday was bloody packed, took the ****, I was only trying to get home from work and had to filter through about a mile and a half. Crazy. Was a great first night out though.

My son's studying English as he wants to be an English Teacher , he is in Elliot College if I remember well

Cheers Steve

I seem to have missed most of them Im going to have to get my act together and get out for the next one. Still got some friends at Uni now. Man ill be 5 years older than all the new Uni goer's though. Sigh.

me too, but I got there eventually at the grand age of 39.

Problem with the OU tho is you don't get a freshers' week! (or even an old gits' week, come to that)
