What?!? 18 goes?!?!? I'm not sure that you can blame university for such amazing levels of inability. As for the flat tyre thing, its not like being at uni somehow gives you magical powers of avoiding getting flat tyres. Admittedly, I've helped change a few flat tyre before and have now forgotten how to do it, so maybe it does have some effect...

Lets be fair it's only a few hundred yards to the accomodation and you probably have a few cans in the fridge anyway."

Ah, awesome.

I don't plan on going to Uni though.

im not sure about London travel passes, but living and studying in London is EXPENSIVE (rent can be almost 4 times the rent in places like manchester).

id recommend saving some cash and looking at other big cities. Birmingham, Manchester, Nottingham, Leeds... all have ace universities, awesome shopping, awesome nightlife and their share of job opportunities.

unless you want to do Law... then London is a good option.

Not law for me!

I'll look into those other cities. Thankies!

No prizes for guessing which Uni I'd recommend Alo.

Are there prizes for not guessing?

ah well, it's better than a warning!

Hmmm, uni. Haven't thought about it that much, although I'll probably end up doing maths, hopefully in Trinity.

right-track · 08-19-2006, 04:20 PM

Trinity College Dublin or Cambridge?

Sound Devastation · 08-19-2006, 04:21 PM
