Well guys, only a few more weeks to Uni, if you're in the UK. What are you guys doing and where are you going? Anyone else here going to London?
 
Lancashire on the 17th september.


Im absaloutly bricking it >_< I've never been away from home for more than 1 week :S
 
I study mathematics and computer science at the University of Dortmund in Germany for 2 years now.

Alhexx Your english is quite good (I presume you're german?). Mr Pond, I'm just excited about uni, can't wait to get away from home! I figured that survival breeds nessecity, so any skills I don't have now to survive, I'll learn em!
 
I've been studing computer sience at the UPC here in Spain for 5 years. Theorically, I should have finished last year, but very few finish in 5 years. I supose it will take 1.5 years more to finish. I'm so tired... and bored.

Am I the only person at these forums in the US?

I started college at Washington State University a few weeks ago.
 
Forgot to mention what course it is im doing.

Forensic Computing.

Im excited, dont get me wrong, but the things I take for granted at home will suddenly be gone :<
 
Phwoo, uni's a long way off, what's it like?  Not the lessons though, the general atmosphere and peoples attitude towards you (t3h 1337)

Well I've heard uni has alot more people, which suits me because I'm a people person. Lectures are meant to be very strict and no talking, I don't know about tutorials. I'm guessing uni is like everything else in life, its as good as you make it.

I'm going into my second year and I live at home. I have a place next year for a house in New Cross because I can't really afford to move out for more than 1 year.

More people is an understatement. You can get away with talking in lectures because the lecturers assume that you discuss what they are talking about amoungst yourselves. I have however used this as an opportunity to demonstrate my knowledge of the film cool runnnings, complete with accents. A mate of mine got up mid lecture and asked the lecturer where he got his hair cut (we were all a bit drunk...shouldn't give us 5pm lectures really...).

Tutorials are fairly informal but you get a right bollocking if you don't turn up (I missed one because my car broke down).
 
So how do people react to the loners and the computer literate?  Or both rolled into one?

Well a lot of people are computer literate anyway, and nows your chance to no longer be a loner. Make friends.
 
Freshers Fortnight tbh!

Phhh... UCLAN slackers ;)

Also, raid Freshers Fair... get as many freebies as you can, razors, goody bags, alcohol, condoms etc and join loads of clubs.. the more random the club the better.
 
>_> Oi.

I've decided that im going to join a fencing club when I get there.

I have never "fenced" before, but it looks funny as fuck >_>

And yes, im gonna go the moment the fair opens and basicly go freebie hunting <_<
 
London? Home town, but I rarely go into central London though - so 99% chance of never bumping into you on the street :)
 
Im right pissed off, I have uni internet now, and it blocks near enough everything except web browsing.

any form of online game
Ventrilo/teamspeak
Bit Torrent
FTP servers/downloads.

Hell, I cant even do an ADSL speed test because the network doesnt allow it.
