Well, Birkbeck is absolutely shit. I am surrounded by old people and morons. Entry requirements are BBB or something and in case you didn't know it is a uni for working people. Its only saving grace is that it offers a UoL degree so it is no different to UCL/LSE in that regard but I am pretty sure that those unis are starting to distance themselves away from UoL degrees and offer their own so Birkbeck can't cling to their prestige anymore.
That being said, it doesn't matter what university you go to, your grade is all that matters. Remember when you were told in primary school that it is important what secondary you get into? Remember how supposedly crucial it was to get into a good Sixth Form/College? Now you know that it was all nonsense, and it's the same with Universities. Your grade is all that matters, all else is a worthless sense of prestige, which I admit is difficult to ignore. I do feel shitty about going to Birkbeck even though I know it doesn't matter ultimately. A First is a First.
I'm only really here as a back up plan in case I don't make it trading. I max out the maintenance loan to invest in crypto.
