Paris-Sud 11 University.

(Why 11? Well, in 1970, the University of Paris broke up into thirteen different universities, romantically named Paris-I, Paris-II ... Paris-XIII, largely based on the existing faculies: Economics became Paris-I, Law became Paris-II, History and Humanities became Paris-IV, Sciences became Paris-VI and Paris-XI ... In this decade, though, our higher education institutions are grouping up because French universities don't really make sense on the international stage, so Paris-XI will merge into http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UniverSud_Paris )

>>2155848
You only did 2 full A-Levels?

Um. Right. And that C isn't looking too hot either.

I'm applying for Economics at:

Bristol
Durham
Newcastle
Leeds
Southhampton

>>2155851
In my AS levels I got AACC. The C in Art wasn't that bad in light of the 60% U grades in my year, so I think the fault largely isn't mine. I resat Art at a different school and got an A. I'm now finishing it off in my extra year.

I spoke to the admissions guy at UCL at an open day, and he seemed to be confident my grades would be good enough (the requirements are ABB-AAB).

Extra years aren't only for stupid people you know. The cleverest guy I know applied for medicine at Cambridge, but got rejected. He's doing an extra to have another shot at it. It's all about fulfilling potential.

Tufts University

>>2155840
Edinburgh good, but filled with nancyfags who are bitter they couldn't get into St. Andrews or oxbridge.

>>2155860
(I'm a different poster) Well, it depends on what you're applying for. Getting into English or Medicine or Economics at UCL is considerably harder than getting in for something obscure like Geology.

I'm applying for English myself this year - Cambridge, Durham, St Andrews, Nottingham (who have given me an offer already!) and RHUL. (Before someone accuses me of being underage it was my birthday last week...) AAAA and A*A*A predictions but I think I'll be very lucky to get any A*s.

>>2155574
Do you want to be best friends with me or....?

>>2155871
I'm at RHUL doing English, ask me shit. And out of interest why'd you choose it?

>>2155877
Are you really? Cool! What year are you in?

I picked it for a number of reasons. Its offer is AAB so it appeases my school's insistence that you have some sort of insurance choice; it seems to be a quiet-ish, nice, vaguely bookish place. Also the Founder's Building is beautiful. I also quite like the idea of being able to go to London semi-regularly for events and exhibitions and meeting my friends who live in London.

>>2155596

>Bristol
>Durham
>Newcastle
>Leeds
>Southhampton

Bristol is overrated. Both academically and (most famously) for student lifestyle/satisfaction. Facilities are not the greatest either.

Durham has a good reputation, I've not visited myself nor do I know anybody who went there (in recent years). However be aware they have a higher ratio of public school kids than either Oxford or Cambridge.

Newcastle is underrated, a good friend went and had a wonderful 3 years. Academically respected also.

Leeds has a reputation as the party Uni of the Yorkshire bunch. It also has a solid academic reputation in a variety of subjects, but keep in mind that is is probably the most sought-after of all the ones on your list.

Southampton (note the one 'h') is very well thought of for Sciences, economics not so much. Also the worst city/fun of your options.

Also - why haven't you applied for/considered any of the University of London colleges? Are you a Londoner who wants to fly the nest or just scared of the big bad city?

University of British Columbia.

>>2155871
Thanks for the advice. The course I'm applying for is German and Norwegian (yes, it's a bizarre choice). Modern Languages are very much ignored by young British people. The good side of this is that the uni courses are now easier to get into. It also means that there's quite a lot of demand for linguists.

>>2155894

I'm from Newcastle. Southampton (cheers boss) is my last choice because quite frankly I have no idea where else to apply.

I'm predicted AAA so I can't apply for UCL or LSE, where else could I apply? I'd have no problem with being in London.

>>2155610
Degrees acquired in Denmark tend to have lesser academic value than in countries where you actually pay for tuition -- or am I wrong about this?

Anyway, I'm studying Classical philology at the University of Latvia. Which is basically reading a bunch of text in ancient languages and studying mythology and Greek/Roman culture.

And I kind of like it.

>>2155905
Do remember that (unless you want to be a purist translator or academic) you'll need some skills to go with those languages. Not the usual 'transferrable skills' claptrap that people claim comes with every arts degree - I mean actual, tangible skills that will get you that decent money.

>>2155894
>that is is probably the most sought-after of all the ones on your list
Durham and Bristol are both considerably more difficult to get into than Leeds. Especially Durham - though that does depend on subject obviously

>>2155906
Perhaps look at QMUL or Royal Holloway (although that is in Egham, not London at all). Both part of the University of London and well respected. Both Glasgow and Edinburgh should be on your list, unless you have a phobia of the Scottish. Failing that perhaps consider Cardiff, Bath, Exeter or Nottingham instead of Bristol and Southampton.

>>2155919
That may be the case, however hard to define, althought with 'sought-after' I was hinting at popularity/amount of applicants.

>>2155923

Well Bristol/Durham/Newcastle are definite options that I'm not changing. I guess I could stick Royal Holloway and Glasgow in.

I don't see why you're disregarding Bristol. Seems like an awesome place and it gets ranked pretty high on lists.

>>2155911
Hmm, do you have any suggestions?

I'm planning on going to Norway and then... I'm not sure. Perhaps languages teacher? While at UCL you can get a TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language) certificate. These certificates aren't especially prestigious or difficult to get, but if you have a native standard in 3 languages, it should be quite easy to become a languages teacher in Norway.

I'd also like to get an MA in something at some point, perhaps translation. I'd like a shot at academia. I can honestly imagine finding working kids/teenagers very depressing.

If I could do absolutely anything I would be a poet/professor. That's not a wise thing to rely on though.

>>2155933
Well, Leeds does probably have less favourable applicant per place statistics, but Durham and Bristol both attract a higher quality of applicant. Oxford and Cambridge tend to be about 4 or 5 applicants per place - way, way better than most of the big civic unis - but are obviously the hardest in the country to get into. I was just saying that if you were trying to imply that Leeds would be the hardest one to get into, then it was actually probably Durham/Bristol :)

>>2155934
Bristol certainly used to be excellent, however in recent years has rested on its laurels, and let standards slip. Not very well respected in the academic community, but probably enough Bristol alums in mid/senior management now to still attract industry.

Either way, good luck buddy!

vrije university of amsterdam..

UBA (Where is one of the copies of the Necronomicon)

Chemistry at university of Plymouth...its ok.

>>2155940

Well see how you feel after 3 years of study, but if academia doesn't seem realistic/possible - then perhaps an MA in something like Finance/Accountancy, Industrial relations/Human resources, Marketing/Advertising, and of course, Law.

Use those suggestions as practical backup, work hard as fuck towards getting a first/funding for post-grad and follow that dream dude.

>>2155958
Cheap nights out, easy girls, lots of internationals.
Don't be disheartened, I know a science grad from Plymouth who ended up doing very well for himself in.....commerical banking in the city.

>>2155908
>Degrees acquired in Denmark tend to have lesser academic value than in countries where you actually pay for tuition

Not sure if trolling..you know it's paid for right
Just through taxes?

Its a good deal in that it's a sure way for the state to increase revenue because people who have a better education generally earn more. And it's great for the students because they get their shit paid for, which means they can work less and study more (great academically) and also because you can't ever buy your way into a university. You only get accepted through grading, meaning the most academically deserving get the available spots. My parents are both immigrants, without this system I would probably just be working somewhere being comfortably middle-class or working-class. But I'm studying law instead and you can bet your ass I'm staying in this neat little country. Good deal for the state, good deal for me.

Anybody here getting degrees in arts or fine arts?

Southampton here

>engineers, engineers everywhere

>>2155991
>>2156005

Oh well, maybe I'm wrong. Is the overall learning quality alright there?

If so, maybe it's just that the teachers don't want us to leave here :-D (There be ogres in foreign Denmark.)

What's /lit/'s opinion on combined honours courses?

I'm finding it hard to choose between theology (which I'm passionate about) and English (which I excel at).

So I'm wondering if it's worth applying for combined courses at decent unis, or whether a combined degree would be the academic equivalent to monopoly money?

HAHA! Faggots, I do Photography at University.

.......

Oh God, just kill me now.

>>2156018

Generally joint honours degrees are worth as much or, in some cases, more than a single honours degree.

>>2156005
DK master race reportin' in!

>>2156015
>Is the overall learning quality alright there?

Well I have nothing to compare to personally, but we have one of the highest percentages of students who study like a year overseas (Mainly in The US, UK, France, Germany and Japan) and the ones I know who did that (Law, Microbiology, Bio-Technology) are not impressed. So I would say we do well.

So yeah, I would say you are wrong..but "thar" definitely "be dragons". We pay a lot of taxes.. But our income is ridiculous so it's alright, as long as it stabilizes or starts to drop though. We may be nearing critical territory in a decade or so. But all that is political.

University of Kentucky

>>2156023
HAPS! Hvad læser du?

>>2156018

Hmm, well if I'm right in thinking combined degrees are 75% of one subject and 25% of another then you can draw your own conclusions there. A joint honours is a straight 50% split between two subjects, equal depth is gone into on each just less range.

I'm going for History and International Relations joint next year, and where I want to go has one of the best language learning facilities in the country. Fuck endless drinking, for 9k a year I want to be as fluent as possible in Farsi, Arabic or something by the time I get out.

>>2156022
Happy news indeed!
A good chunk of my family view them with suspicion at best and contempt at worst.

However, I do find it a little disconcerting that some unis have lower entry criteria for joint honours than they do for their single honours programs. Anyone else find this? Should I be concerned?

University of Illinois at Chicago

Finance major. Might change to economics.

>>2156041
I believe most of the courses I'm looking at are joint honors. So the modules taken in both subjects work out pretty even.

I'm also looking for the universities which offer the best facilities and are fairly well respected in the fields I want to study. Though I'd be lying if I said the social aspect didn't factor in at all.

>>2156047

University of Florida. It's pretty terrible for the most part. Not stimulating in the slightest. I expected people here to be intelligent, but it's just the same try-hard idiots that I dealt with in high school.

I see you there, my colleagues!

Fellow Hoo here, so I guess that makes three of us. I'll go as far as to say I'm impressed.

(University of Virginia -- putting that in the post in case anyone tries to count a tally overall)

Any UCSDers out there?

Southern Illinois University
lol

Not the best school, but I'm happy about it, being taught things I care for.(thing is: I'll probably never end up as an academic anyway - too much of a pissing contest).

Stonybrook, here.

What's a fucking Sea Wolf? I'm a mother fucking Sea Wolf.

NUIM Maynooth

Blessed to have some of the greatest lecturers I've ever met.
Too bad literary criticism is making me shit Wordsworth at this point.

Admit it, that's not a thing. Stop making things up 4chan.

Wageningen University, in the Netherlands

Wow, you couldn't even get into UCD? I mean we can't all get into TCD (I did) but at least invest in clown college or something a bit more respectable.

Anybody applied to York uni?

>>2159212
Oh, that shitty place? Why not UCA? Like a champ.

I want to go to school in Scandanavia because I'm poor and become a nurse but I have no idea how to go about doing it.

Is Carbondale as gruesomely depressing as it looks on Google Maps? There's a tenure-track job in my field open at SIU, but fortunately I'm already settled somewhere else. If I can help it I never want to live in a town that's named after its major industrial byproduct.

Did you know:
Yale is the only Ivy league school that had 2 homosexual founding fathers?

You are actually the gayest Ivy University.

>>2159061

>>2159880

Fun fact:
If it's not in the top ten on at least one of these lists-

then your school is a shit hole.

>>2159880
If you google "the gay ivy" the first result is a yale magazine article on why yale is called the gay ivy. i think it's safe to say that ur a faget

Oh cool. UIUC here

>>2159899
Holy shit, you aren't kidding. I was just making shit up but that is fucking hilarious.

>>2159904
UIUC is absolute hell. Nothing to do but drink, nowhere to go but corn, everyone is either a dumbass or in engineering. Just awful. After two years I am finally transferring out of this shit-hole.

#4 - oh good my education has been validated by the internet.
