I could run a car but it would put me into debt at the end of my course.

You don't want to worry about debt, my current future brother in law is here at the moment and he just told me he has £18K of debts after graduating in architecture this year.

Here we go again ;) :p

Chemical engineering is a science but mainly the application of science. Unlike physicists who think we have to do be able to do AND think :)

I know you're just jealous because you miss Uni Andy.

I was crap at Physics really but I thought it would be good for a job, but I just like winding you up :)

To be honest when I went it was easier because you got a grant and as I came from London I got a bigger grant. I think I only owed about £1,200 when I left.

I know and I am easily wound up since I - as you know - like the prestiege of my course as you always bash it :p

I am only in that situation due to kind parents and grandparents and hopefully good employment next year. I find out my potential pay for Advantica tomorrow (I hope!).
 
paul just killed the conversation :nono: :p

students are meant to get into debt, you are not a real student unless you in debt :( 18k and counting, i suppose taking a 5k car loan out helped my situation :rolleyes:
 
True, wish the gov would give more aid to students as i was tempted to go to uni, but wanted a car so did an apprenticeship, money and learning :)
 
I worked for an apprenticeship organisation over the summer and the amount of funds they got for the training was massive. OK the kids only got about £90/week for the first year for 35+ hours a week but they also got ££££s for the training 'we' provided including £50/night hotel rooms for the block training (15weeks/year in total). That's a lot more than I get!

I am lucky in that I can do a year in industry so it will help me a lot both financially and otherwise. I am also lucky in that my tutition fees are approx 1.2k instead of the 3k they would be if i started next year :eek:

"proper" students of 20 years ago were in much better positions financially than current students but current students live in better standards which is interesting.

In the good old days we used to go to the cinema, have a pint and a bag of chips and have change from a fiver ;)

Apparently even having a fiat won't make me cool :( :p

I will get whatever is the best value as I will be commuting 70miles a day I expect, I really want a brava JTD right now :)


Im sure there are lots of decent priced Bravas get on Auto Trader :)
