Another Uni Thread...

I've got friends at UCL, I hear good things.

 

I am in my third year at Berry College. (Berry College is the equivalent of an english university in terms of things taught. In America, we go to high school for four years and then go to college (a small public or private school) or a university (a large public school).
My major is history with a concentration on British and American history. I am currently in my fifth week of school.

 

Just had my induction day at UEL (BA Social Work) and now I'm completely disillusioned.

Something about the whole system seems very wrong ... like the rows of people standing there as you walk in, handing out leaflets on everything from political parties and religious causes to cheap gym membership and bank accounts. I'm sure education isn't meant to be so commercial.

At one stage during the induction a lecturer was asked which books he recommended and he gave his own book a plug, saying it was the best one for the course.

 

I've just started at the University of East Anglia in Norwich doing a science foundation year that hopefully will lead on to a Environmental Science degree. This is after a retake of A Levels (big mistake) and a gap year.

 

I am going to Lampeter University same one as Joel.... OK I confess!!! I lied!!! I graduated from there in July *blushes* I want to start again!!!
