Enjoy the fees!

not lit
sagged and repertoire

>that feel when you have 886 unread messages in your inbox.

>that feel when i have been going to college since i was 18, i'm now 23 and i still haven't completed enough units to transfer

is it true you have to pay to go to university in the UK?

that must suck.

I'm the same OP. Doing an access course at the minute (one more year to go), can't wait.

>>1926204
>>1926234
Indeed.

>>1926234

Could be worse, could live in America.

And I get a big ass grant because my family's poor, and you only have to pay once you're earning over a certain amount.

Better than no education.

>>1926237

Good luck! What you planning on doing and where are you going?

>That feel when my Access Course was only a year long

>>1926248

Hopefully doing Archaeology at Queens. The fees are staying at 3k over here, just read it on the news this morning, so it could be worse.

>that feel when you get a first class honours degree at 22 and start a PhD in october

It feels acceptable

>that feel when you begin attending community college at age 20 and have absolutely nothing to show for the past two years

is it that bad? i turned 18 last month and recently graduated high school and i'm putting off college a little bit... i'm also afraid of regretting it, though

>>1926258
what course?

>hotmail

If he works hard I'll give him two semesters

>>1926248
im not american.

I did the same thing. You'll feel better when you see what a bunch of idiots the 18 year old fresh out of high school kids are. In my opinion 20 is a much better age to start, you'll appreciate it more and do better because of that.

And don't get me started on the early college kids.

>>1926274

I didn't suggest you were? What I meant is the fee system in the UK is laughable in comparison to the U.S

>>1926270
lol do you realise how pretentiously nerdy you are if you are not trolling?

>>1926277
do you still have to pay money before starting?

>>1926285

UK or America?

>>1926285

in the uk u apply for a loan which nearly everyone gets and this is paid straight to the university. You dont have to personally pay anything until u earn 15k (or 21k if u start in 2012 +)

how much does a single semester cost?

>>1926265
Microbiology.
The PhD deals with viruses and diabetes though so a bit out of my comfort zone.

>>1926309
Or live in Scotland and never have to pay it back.
Felt incredible man

>>1926317
if u start this is year or before its about 3300 £ a year or if you start in 2012 + £9000 ish a year.

>>1926326
>2011
>not living in a country with free tertiary education

I seriously hope you guys don't do this.

>>1926317

In Northern Ireland it's £3200 a year + inflation.

>>1926332
What country do you live in that provided "FREE" education?
>Hint: it doesn't exist

When you start working you will be forced to pay taxes for other people's education, the same way people paid for yours through their tax...

Life's nothing but death and taxes man...

And there is nothing wrong with this. Selfishness as a life philosophy and economic ideology is nonsensical and will ultimately lead to tribalism and destruction.

Or have you not noticed how things are going in the U.S. of A.?
