I'm sort of worried about not being able to find a job in belfast/newcastle and relying on my student loan for the year. Also.. for people who've been to uni, what's better, having your own house or the halls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheMan 0 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 General Studies is a doss, you don't need to revise for it; do the AS in January and the A2 in June. I don't even know if my school does it? I've never heard of anyone doing it before? Can you do cope in upper 6th? I don't think General studies is available in sixth forms, it's more common with colleges who regard it as compulsory at AS. What's the difference between colleges and 6th form? Over here the options are the tech and going into 6th year, im guessing you call the tech college? Colleges are usually only for the teaching of A levels, whereas sixth forms are joined onto secondary schools. I see i see. Don't suppose you have any idea of how many people got rejected / accepted - bit of inside UCAS info, nah? Accepted/rejected from what? University in general?

Also.. for people who've been to uni, what's better, having your own house or the halls? halls first year no doubt about it, get stuck in with some strangers makes you come out of your shell and gets you involved in a hell of a lot of parties and stuff as for student loan, they'll cover all of your tuition fees and the loan to you depends on your parents finances, if theyre over the threshold moneywise then that base amount it about 3500 of the top of my head, then you need to think student bank account, go for the best overdraft deal that gives you the most money and the most time, post uni, to pay it back without interest dont get drawn in by "free ipod" etc because the accounts and terms make more than the amount an ipod costs back off you in no time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12769 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I did general studies as an AS, passed it then dropped it into A-Level. I think I done it because another option was blocked. It's basically a crash course into everything that happens in the world with no real depth.

Andrew 4231 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 my first year was brilliant, spent every penny I had on alcohol, pretty much did fuck all work second semester as I was already in the process of moving course and had already been told that it didnt matter at all whether or not I passed my courses first year great times!

If you're going to Belfast then a house is your best bet imo. Though going to GB would be an even better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
