Are you not going to give reasons for the above and explain why they're good and others aren't?
Excellent teaching, reputation and employment prospects.
You missed out Bristol, and Southampton HAS to be in there. not sure how you got your list. I'm tempted to say you just robbed up 3/4 of the Russel Group. :rolleyes:
Bopz
You can go to any university you like but a fucked up prejudiced snobby attitude will get you nowhere.
BTW, this thread is ridiculous.
So Dundee, which I'm applying for next year, isn't on your conducted "list" yet for my subject it ranked third in the UK league tables.
Should I still "seek employment" because, according to you, it's a bad university?
Yes you should, how dare you even consider going somewhere which is not even on the widely respected 'Drol Edyortnuh list of approved universities for 2004'!
someone with a first from oxford might get a lot of interviews, but if they come across badly in the interview, and the person with a 2:2 in hard knocks from the university of life comes in with 10 years relevant experience, 2 flawless references and a suitable temperament, who do you think will get the job?
I'm not going to repeat my views about universities again because they're already floating all over this forum for anyone to see.
However, I would just like to take this opportunity to congratulate Drol Edyortnuh for being a complete and utter moron.
Yes, I accept I missed many out, this is a living list, it will grow.
League tables shouldn't be the decider on your institution, but they certainly don't mean nothing.
Anyway, I'm only fueling you by responding and I'm sure your views are a blatant attempt to cause controversy and conflict.
I was trying to work out what his name was...
Interesting that his DOB is 1988- therefore proving he knows the square root of fuck all.
Oh, and reputation does count for quite a lot, far more than University League Tables. My LLB Hons (Dunelm) counts for more than one from Northumbria, say, even though the Northumbria Law dept. isn't worse.
Durham is the 13th uni in the country on The Times list, but most people see it as 3rd behind Oxbridge.
Oh GOD he's here now :eek2:
Also, what about individual rankings for subjects, if you're going to go down the league tables route?
It all comes down to personal preference. I'd much rather spend 3 years somewhere that i like than spend 3 years at a 'good' - by your standards university - and resent every minute spent working there. And i'd do better at the uni i wanted to be at.
WTF?!
Where's Liverpool?
Our teaching is great in most departments, a few are renowned across the UK, and the facilities here are second to none. :eek2:
This thread is ridiculous.
I am not Lord Huntroyde, though I know him.
not that I care.
As I said, this is an ever-growing list, Liverpool has been added.
Another one bites the dust.
Hope the door didn't hit you on the way out :wave:
Oh look, it did it again
Your feet barely touched the floor this time......
