Typical chav reply from Chaotic who clearly does not appreciate that more education is a good thing for the economy.

yea... get educated & f**k off abroad o)

I have a mate who spent over 10 years drifting from course to course in uni. No, his name isnt van wilder.
Think he went to 4 different universities all together.

Howd he wrangle that? I dunno if its the same as it was when I did my BSc but you were only allowed 1 "false start" at uni, where you were allowed to swap degree in the first year and still continue student support/loans etc. If you wanted to do it again youd have to pay full fees, and then it gets expensive.

some Unis dont give a sh*t.  My old Uni had a Three Start Policy  

Strange. The false start thing wasnt a uni thing as far as I knew, more of something Dorset County Councils LEA did.

no idea.. he didnt finish uni with anything worthwhile except a large debt

Quote from: zpyderThe one that likes me is the primary supervisor, the one with the frown was from the organisation thats funding the PHD though

Those always seem to look like theyve broken their own arse that morning.

Yeah, I think its a trend with the people that sign the cheques. Last year when I had to give a presentation for a contract I was working on there were maybe a dozen people in the room, 50:50 uni and the people funding it. Everyone was smiling and looking interested bar the one person from the funding side that had pretty much okd the project and pays the cheques. Its weird as theyre about the one person you want to see smiling and looking happy!

I think we all do it though when were being told stuff and you know its meant to be important...putting on the "Im thinking important things" face. For all I know he might of been wondering if he had set Sky+ to record Britains got talent that night...

Just got the email today, didnt get it, what a surprise, and what a waste of a week hah.
