    Uni Is amazing.

    Before i started i was nervous about the whole moving away and meeting and living with a whole different bunch of people.

    Im in my first year at Leeds and am loving it.

    First Year = Huge Piss up all of the time (or as long as the loan lasts)

    Second Year = Not so much a piss up but still indulding in midweek shananigans

    Third and Fourth Years = Oh sh*t time to do some work:lol:

    Honestly Uni IS all that people tell you its going to be never had such a laugh in me life!

    happy happy!! :)
    met the bestest people ever through moving up here to go to uni however none of them bar one actually went to my uni lol!! out of 70 ppl on my course only still speak to 2 of them but at the end of the day u go to uni to train for something u wanna be and to get a job at the end of it so im my experience it was def worth going to. too many people view uni as an opportunity to fuck around and end up with shit grades so they cant do what they wanted to do in the first place tho....

    do u want to specify music (i.e do you want to engineer in a studio or a live engineer)

    u dont really need a qualification to engineer for producers, u just have to know the kit and be good...which helps by going on a course

    mancat and city college hav good courses in manc but r quite pricey

    :lol: Not a particularly sound way to choose a university! I would recommend going away to uni every time, I think you get so much more out of it.

    there is no point whatsoever in going to uni in your home town, your driving lessons are hardly an excuse, thats what summer holidays are for!

    uni is all about the experience of going away and fending for yourself, you'll meet some brilliant people, do things you would never have done at home and meeting new people..

    I'm sick of being a student now, I'll have been at uni for six years when I graduate :( ...but would recommend it to anyone.. just make sure you do a course thats going to get you a job or onto a decent masters...

    Machester is the only other city in the UK i'd live in other than London.. Good Luck!
