>Bachelor of Arts in International Relations and History

It's a tad too theoretical than hands on. The history has been great though. I really like the focus on social and cultural history instead of military history and the new move into local Australian history is rather interesting.

>Double degree B/Econcomics and B/Systems Engineering

Econ is shit. It's catered towards grad students. Everyone who isn't doing the degree is either indifferent or a sociology student (i.e. Marxist but it's politically unpopular to say that) so there isn't much love.

Engineering is alright, needs to focus on the technical aspect more.

>>1595671

>>1595676

CCC

>>1595679
my cousin went there and loved it. What don't you like about it? The atmosphere? The ethos? I've heard that Oxford is a lot more intimidating and artificial than Cambridge is.

>>1595646
Muh nigga.

>>1595685

Artificial is probably the right word. Because under all the lovely buildings, as an institution it hasn't struck me as having any genuine greater attachment to scholarship than anywhere else I've experienced. It's been disappointing to be honest.

The libraries and the amount of stuff you can take out of them is brilliant, but that's about all I've come to love.

And yeah, the collegiate thing - I think a reality of it that gets skipped over is how stifling it can be. It is meant to ensure an intimacy of discourse and pastoral care, but in reality turns the university into 38 isolated little communities. Even when the fac makes an effort to get people together, it doesn't really work.

Don't get me wrong, it isn't shit. I just think the myth gets bandied about so much - I think before I went it would have been great to speak with some people who didn't enjoy it so much, just to have some balance before arriving.

Intimidating? Not really - for a lot of people the important thing is to be seen to be doing, rather than actually doing - if that makes sense. This makes playing 'the game' a little more intimidating because the brown-nosing factor is huge, but other than that, if you don't want to associate with people like that, it's easy not to.

Liverpool John Moores

LLB Law & CJ, going to be a third year.

>How you rate your course
Oh baby. Where do I start?

Law & CJ was sold as a course combining the best of both. In reality, it's fucking everything, and the best of both will be drowned out by shit. They teach you things you will never need to ever know again. Why did we learn research shit? I don't want to be a legal academic.

Teaching is patchy. Some lecturers can actually teach, others read off of powerpoint slides in a quiet voice while they're audibly cucked by retards at the back of the hall talking about how much they drink and smoke and suck dicks on the weekends. It's kind of sad to see them not be able to get a word in.

Personal tutors are a godsend, or at least mine is. The rest of the staff are literally appropriated legal research staff who are bad at teaching. Most of the personal tutors are practitioners who seem to be really good at teaching when they're actually in a lecture.

Additionally, it's kind of goofy having to do the EU law exam after the referendum. I understand why, but it's still goofy. It's also very goofy having to do an entire module on it, and another module on legal research, despite something like only 1% of the students on the course actually have an interest in either. I sat in magistrates' for half a year, almost every day, because I found it interesting - I didn't see a single application of EU law, or a mention of leprechaun shit legal research. And why would I? They don't care, nobody cares, nobody brings them up.

>how would you make things better?
Demolish it. Build a new university. Get rid of most of the researchers and academics who obviously hate teaching and would prefer to masturbate in their offices over statistics.

Alternatively, rebrand the law degrees as "the study of law" rather than an LLB, so people know to go somewhere else. I learned more about practice and the criminal law in my spare time than I did in university.

>>1595752
I mean, I get it, it's just an undergraduate degree, I'm sure they're all mediocre for going into practice later, but I'm sure there are universities where most of the staff are motivated and actually know how to teach, as opposed to zombies and research monkeys.

You pretty much fell for the Oxford meme. The only university that competes with the US is LSE (in economics). None of the others come close. Imperial and Cambridge are great, but none of them can really compete.

Oxford is on the way out, it just can't compete with London and the rest of the world.

Yes I know. (TESOL teacher) but this doesn't matter. I've taught in Japan without a bachelor's degree as I was lucky enough to find a company which was willing to look past that and hire me anyway as they were impressed with my lessons.

You can always find someone willing to look past these barriers, if you look long and hard enough, and can prove you are worth the risk.

To be honest, of the two, I have preferred Oxford. It's a bit busier, the faculty and cross-faculty communications and interactions are more numerous, pointed and valuable, and I feel like it's the better of the two for networking. It also rates more highly with employers.

BUT having experience of both - I can tell you that by and large they are much of a muchness. I'd say the most important thing to remember going in is that the 'myth' of Oxbridge bears little relation to the reality. I went to an internationally top ranking institution for my undergrad, and honestly, there is very little REAL difference between it and Oxbridge.

Just my 2 cents. Take it as you will - I'm sure there are others who feel entirely different about it.

For a regional university, the program is actually pretty robust. There are a ton of student organizations related to it and we're required to take three separate research courses in political science before graduation. Professors are usually very helpful and pretty responsive. Plus class sizes are small. The downside is that sometimes there's only one section of the more specific classes available per semester/year

>Warwick
>Law and Business
Enjoying it much more than I was expecting, my only problem is far too many of the tutors aren't native English speakers, which makes seminars a bit of a pain sometimes.

Not impressive compared to some people here but idgaf.

Majoring in Geographic Science with a concentration in AGIS, did it because I'm much better with history and stuff than math/science but it seems like I might actually get employed with this, hopefully some cushy government job. I'd do a History or Archaeology minor but I'm trying to graduate in 3 years and a minor would bump me over that. I did take one archaeology course and I actually made some maps for the professor over the summer showing locations of artifacts from Hernando de Soto's expeditions, it should be getting published at some point in the future.

Somewhat off topic, I'm taking an Italian 101 course this semester. How hard is it to learn? Just doing it for shits and giggles.

If you haven't tried Thistly Cross cider then you need to get on that shit, a few shops sell it in Edinburgh, the shop you run into if you turn right facing the main road near Pollock Halls carries it, the whiskey cask cider is the best shit ever. Also there's a restaurant called Mum's Comfort Food near the old medical university, I used to hang out there for dinner and a drink at 9, 10pm before going back to work on my dissertation. Great food.

Join the weightlifting club if you want to learn how to actually work out. The wine tasting society is also a great deal if you just want to have a bunch of nice wines at a super good price.

There's also a hungarian guy who has a shack on the quarter mile, not sure if he's still around but he sells/sold absolutely delicious chimney cakes for 3.50.

Make sure you fucks go on top of Arthur's Seat for Bonfire Night, seeing the fireworks go off all around Edinburgh is one of the best views in the world.

I am 22 and am just starting my first day of college ever next week. Unfortunately I haven't been able to go to school being in the Air Force training pipeline, but I can finally start. I have like 70 random credits from military institutes like DLI, but they don't count towards my actual major.

>pre-Physics transfer Associates

Gonna go to UNO after this, I only have like 20 credits left

Nothing at all. I am a programmer. I want to be a librarian.

Memes aside it's actually pretty good. We've stolen a bunch of lecturers from University of Auckland, so we're moving up in the rankings.

Plus there's a real focus on getting employed out of Law School, which has helped me actually get a clerkship secured.

I do compsci as well, and I fucking hate every minute of it.
