Not the ones I know but there we go.
Everywhere I have ever worked we've been chatty with our cleaners. They're polite with us, we're polite with them it makes for a nice environment for everyone to get on with their work in. It's just rudeness on anyones part not to do that. Everyone is human no matter what their class and deserves respect and civility from others around them. Just remember what chaos you'd be in without those people.
No offence, but the most exclusive of places pride themselves in having good looking staff and I refuse to believe that your social circle would turn the blind eye, when if anyone its the City boys who have a playboy image to live up to.
As someone has already mentioned, visiting open days at the Universities is a good idea. It is also usually possible to arrange a visit by contacting the the University. You could also visit the Universities anyway just to get a general feel of the area and atmosphere. In terms of academic judgements, league tables will give you a general idea and you should also take a look at the departmental website of the courses that you are applying to. You may find that you prefer the look of the course at one of the choices more than the other.
You should also try this website http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/ as you will be able to contact people who have studied first hand at the Universities you mentioned.
Good luck with your decision
You must choose what course you want and at the right Uni for you. Open days and school arranged University trips are the best for experiencing these places, and remember don't worry about what your mates are doing because you will defo make new ones for yourself.
But really, pick the university which is going to provide you with the best course and not one your friends are going to. If I had done that, I'd be at Edinburgh and not have found the love of my life.
I'm sure they really love you too jomey
Why would anyone rich from South Kensington work in a bar job? Not disputing that anyone does.
I worked on a bar all through and before uni because I needed the money and the hours fitted around my studies.
Sound like great girls (gold diggers)
You don't generally have a nice time working on a bar, especially serving drunken rich tosspots. Although you make it look as though you love it.
:yes:
I left my job after one too many drunken fund managers ran their hand up my leg. I was NOT getting paid enough to put up with that.
Yea, sure they are. Which is why you've had shedloads of success with them thus far. Let's face, they're there to look pretty, do their job, and most importantly, take your money. That is all. You're just the mug who falls into their little trap by actually believing they give two fucks about you.
funny, thats what my brother said...
No offence, but the only rich people I know doing bar jobs are the ones cut off from their parents money. H
ighly doubt that more than a handful of the girls behind the exclusive bars fit the profile you're talking about.
And lets be honest, its not having a good time having to pretend you're interested in what the costumer says. If they truly fit the profile you're talking about then they would be written on the guest list and mingle their way around the hot shots without having to stand on their feet all night serving people.
:yes:
Very true. You can keep your concierge and high-flying job. At least people like us can get laid.
Anyway, time to stop pandering to Jomery's ego perhaps and cease asking him how many 'working class' people he interacts with on a daily basis. Like I said earlier, I spend so long trying to convince people that not all public schoolboys are arrogant tosspots and one person blows it all away. Tsk.
I'd like to know why Jomery has such a strong vendetta against the working class. If there were no working class then no one would be driving your taxis, cleaning your office, fixing your plumbing, sorting your heating and electricity, fixing cars, transporting goods etc. As he never wants to go near such filth, I'd like to know how he think's he qualified to pass such judgement.
All you've done in this thread is insult people. So what if Franki's boyfriend works for a bank? He has a good job which pays well which he worked hard to get. He's happy and he is in a happy relationship. You on the other hand, are miserable it seems as you just go on and on in the other threads about how you've never had sex and how no girl goes near you and how you kissed an ugly teenager! Why insult someone you don't even know? Its uncalled for.
You seem to look down on anyone who isn't a Oxbridge student who has a 1st or anyone who isn't on a six figure salary. It really doesn't surprise me that you have never had sex. I know for a fact I wouldn't go near you with a barge pole. Are you actually surprised no girl has gone near you? Your attitude and personality sucks.
And I'm sorry, I had to work fucking hard for my degree and I didn't go a red brick uni. I treated my course like a full time job whilst studying for my Law degree. You can't really say that Cambridge students have to work harder because it completely depends on the person and anyway, I've been told the standards required for Law degrees is pretty much the same across all Universities (for entrance to the LPC/BVC).
And whats with that AV anyway?! :yuck:
I didn't need DDE to get into my course. I needed BBB. Maybe that makes me thick because I didn't get AAA?
And no, my course didn't expect me to do 2 essays a week but they did require me to do alot of essays compared to most courses at my uni and also, I had 5 assessed seminars a fortnight which each took a long time to prepare for. They were worth 25% of our course and we were basically assessed on everything we said 5 times a fortnight. They were strict with the marking and it was like being in an exam. I would have preferred two essays a week over those seminars any day.
I didn't really go to a high ranked uni though?
Like I said, the standards are pretty much the same across the country for Law. They have to be for the entrance requirements for the LPC course and BVC course and I was told that the marking is regulated by the Law Society. Whether or not thats bull shit, I don't know. Its just what I was told.
Yes, I do.
There are many things that contribute to someone's grades and I don't really think that you can judge a person's academic ability by their A Level results. I did better at my A Levels than I did my GCSEs for example even though they were harder?
Oh, and I did go somewhere "ok" thank you very much. Just because it aint in the top 10, that doesn't mean its a shit University.
I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is that you can't always judge someone on their A Level grades.
For example, my ex got straight A*s/As at GCSE and was predicted straight As at A Level but due to personal problems, he only ended up getting ABBC or something like that despite clearly being capable of straight As. Luckily, his University (York Uni may I add so you can't really diss it) were understanding and still let him on the course despite not getting the grades they required.
Yes, some unis have managed to gain prominence regarding certain fields, yet overall the oxbridge institutions still do their best to uphold their world renowned reputation.
To a certain extent Jomery is right, the name of your institution can carry you a long way. That is not to say it is the be all and end all here in life. And I definitely disagree with his attitude which does not represent class in any way shape or form whatsoever.
