After hearing so many stories of how much fun University is........
I'm not sure what I really expected, it has its momments, but its not exactly mind blowingly amazing.
Whats other people's views?

The work's starting to make itself noticed, but I'm managing to keep up with that without compromising too much on my party life.
Two months in, its still one alchol-blurred experience! (do geography if you want time to drink every night!)
Or go to Liverpool.
Don't even get me started about the buissnes study students, dont think they go to more then 2 lectures a week.

yep maths is like that. Hence why I quit it after a year. Loving doing e-commerce though. Got more lectures than most of my flat mates and I'm the only one who's in every day, bu ti's not too bad. Just wish it wasn't Mnonday and Tuesdays that were my busiest days.
But I'm still having fun! The freedom and independence compared with living at home and going to school is great, plus there are some great people here, great pubs and the work is actually really interesting.
So I'm enjoying it in my own way, although I'm not sure it's the typical crazy uni experience.
You're getting screwed. I do one day weeks!
Well, I *make* them into one day weeks.
Well, if you will go to a uni that actually expects you to work...
Which uni do you go to, Huddersfield?:p
A highly reputable one, dontcha know.
Nah, the workload is slowly creeping up, got a whole stack of essays, so even I've only got a handful of classes each week, I'm still in the library most days at the moment.
I'm surprised at the amount of work I have, though. People kept telling me that first year was a doss but it really doesn't seem that way to me - I've to work pretty bloody hard, actually. I'm feeling really stressed now as it nears the end of term and I have deadlines and a few exams to worry about too... gaaah I don't feel like it's only been 6 weeks, it feels like aaaages.
I've only spent one day in the library so far, lol.
Got another pub crawl tonight... 12 destinations! Will be fun...
Need to remember to do that essay before I go home this weekend...
That about sums up my feelings of uni too. Having a great time, just about balancing work and play, trying not to push my health and pennies too far and generally making the most of it!
Huddersfield (no offense to anyone that goes there or anything, but )
So busy!
Waking up's a chore for anybody at uni!
Uni's just like an extension of college really, combined with a lot of growing up and becoming independent, particularly if you move away. It's definitely a chore for me to get up, but I'm not exactly a morning person!
OK OK so i phrased it wrong. I just mean im not enjoying it.
