I'm re applying elsewhere for next year. I was playing around, you don't need to take everything on the internet so literally.
Well, I've grown up in the country, I wasn't keen on being in the center of London. When I was applying I thought being in London would mean there was lots to do all the time, when in reality it equated to me never seeing the sky, walking around with zombies everywhere and being packed into the tube. I found the course rather uninspiring, whilst I was getting good grades etc, it just did nothing for me.
The workload began to pile up more and more, to the point where I thought I couldn't take 4 years of this, that the university and course wasn't right for me and that it was better to leave now than in 2 years after having a breakdown or something. I found the social life not what I really wanted, whilst yes I'm sure if you're a sporty person (or a medic
) or something you can get out there and have a great social life, or if you just happen to get really lucky with your corridor. It'd get to the evening and I'd text around everyone I knew asking if they wanted to do anything (the evenings where I wasn't bogged down with work myself) and would get a standard load of "too busy, essay" "too busy, exam", etc.. The odd time someone would come out we'd end up going to a pub for a couple hours and that was that.
It's quite ironic really, a couple of weeks after I left there was a "Beit Party Group" setup on FB I got invited to.. Shame I never had a chance to go out with them all
None the less, I'm confident I made the right decision, it just wasn't right for me. I want to be able to leave university with a good degree and still say that my university years were some of the best of my life.
I'm reapplying for joint CS & Business for next year, hoping to go to Warwick.
