Uni help needed!!

Do you know what course you're going to apply for?

Got an interview end of this week which I am not ready for.

Congrats on getting the interview. Were is it for and what for? Just do some preperation and you will be grand. Best of luck for it.

Good luck everyone with your applications etc. Hope you all get into where you want.

Very important that you're not pressured into anything though - give it a long good think unless you're already completely clear.

Seen so many people unhappy/dropping out with what they're doing over this past year.

And great stuff Alex, I'm at Chester! What course are you looking to do?

No idea, bit early for me I reckon.

What are you looking at doing and where?

I'm doing Maths combined with Spanish. Still unsure what i'd like to do as a career so i think maths with a language sort of keeps my options open a little.

I've thought about working in Spain for a bit in the future and on the course i get to do that in one of the years (i think the third), so that'd be something to look forward too aswell. I've got a bunch of mates there from the spanish exchange, it'd be good to see them again too

Have you enjoyed it there so far Ross?

Its at Hertfordshire uni for Diagnostic Radiography. I've already had an interview for it at St George's Uni so i feel prepared but i'm still quite nervous. St George's is where i'm planning to go though, they've already made me an offer.

Bump.

A fellow red needs our help. She's looking for what LFC means to the fans. Just post in here what LFC means to you and she can take our views.

Thanks everyone. 

Redkenny, you know just as well as us that words can't describe what LFC means to us. I wouldn't know where to start.

Very true mate.

But I thought LFC Reds would be willing to help a fellow red out when in need.

No one needs to start anywhere with LFC - it's an ongoing journey. 

Ken, I'm sure there's a thread already for what Liverpool FC means to the Fans, maybe that will help your mate hun.

I'll have a dig around.  

Edit:  This any good hun?

Hadn't seen this until now! Sorry mate.

To me, it is hard to explain in words. But simply put i guess - it's my way of life. It aint just a game, it's a religion. It defines how my mood is for a week depending on how a game goes, what a player or the manager says, or what kinda goal gets scored. I aint a religious person at all as far as 'traditional' religion goes - but im guessing that my love for Liverpool could be compared to how a bible basher feels about Jesus or whatever. Im nuts about it, i will defend its pride to the death, and if anyone dare tell me i spend too much time obsessing over it then they better watch out! I'm sure if i put more time into it i could express it better.. best i could think of right now though.

In short, i would say that first line sums it up though. It is indeed my way of life, my religion, and what defines me.

I have a quick question on uni as well - how important do people think it is to go to a decently recognized school in academic circles as far as getting a job in the future? Like going to a cheap school in comparison to one that may cost double, but is a good school with a name people know in those kind of circles? I'm just researching schools at the moment and wanna know what people think. Any guys/gals from the USA as well would be greatly appreciated!

I think it doesn't matter what school you go to as far as getting a job in the future. As long as the school teaches you the knowledge you need for that field, I believe you can get the job no matter what school you go to. There are so many schools in the USA with a lot of the same fields of studies, so it really doesn't matter which one you go to. Sometimes you get the best education from a smaller school rather than a popular one that everyone knows about. I would make the decision based on class sizes and what you expect to get out of being there.

I hope this helps a little bit.

Thanks My thing is that Laura wants to move to NYC for her drama and try and crack broadway. And though I would like to, im not sure if I really like the idea of going to Uni there. It's a big city, and im from small towns. I have grown to like it here in Oregon for being a decent sized place but not too big that I feel out of place. I feel very comfortable getting around now, im settled, and enjoying studying here, so I kinda would like to continue at the University of Oregon once im done with the two years at community college. Laura had picked out a city university in NYC as a cheap option but I just aint comfortable with it, then NYU is even more expensive than UofO and then thats not even including the hugely more expensive living in New York.

Basically I would love to stay here until im done with college then go to New York. So I dunno how hard I should push Laura with the idea, cos I know its her dream to go there. Not that im against the idea at all, just not sure I wanna go there yet since another big move would just mean I have to start all over again as far as getting settled, and I already made the move to the country only 18 months ago. I really like the feel of the UofO and the lifestyle, so the idea of going to Uni there is exciting to me.

Tough decision!

That is a tough decision. Good Luck with everything.
