Why do you want to go to university?

Thanks You staying up north or doing a runner like me?

the love of my subject, and wanting to be taught about it! also to meet people with similar interests to me, and to live independently in a city that excites me.

Arrogant much.

Please tell me why I should deny the fact I am intelligent. The OP asked why the persons of TSR want to go to university, and, as a person of TSR, I gave my completely honest answer. I don't go about this forum boasting my intelligence, nor do I try to belittle others because they may not be as clever. Furthermore, I totally accept that there are many others who are more intelligent than myself. As a human being, I wish to make the most of what I have and take the best possible opportunities in life, and as someone who is perfectly capable of pursuing a university degree, yes, I do believe that it would be a waste of fourteen years in this country's education system not to go to university.

If you have any more issues concerning my honesty or my opinion itself, feel free to PM me! I would be more than happy to discuss this with you.

I just want a degree and get education over with.

Why do you want one?

Without a degree you are pretty much ****ed on the job market and I have no other interests or passion for anything else to pursue. A degree would open more doors in general and I don't want to waste time searching for what I like - in the end, I hate learning. I don't care about uni experience, we're all here for a degree.

The advice I have from the home education community is that unless you need a degree for a particular career (such as medicine, law, or dentistry) then you are usually better off learning a trade instead. Otherwise, ask yourself these questions:

1. Am I going to university for the knowledge and the education or am I going to university in order to obtain a piece of paper with a grade on it?

2. If universities were purely educational and did not award degrees or certificates in subjects (apart from a few courses for professional careers) then would I pay £9000 a year for this education?

Anybody who is going to university just to learn about a subject will probably be disappointed to know that university is one step away from self education. The £9000 a year in tuition fees will buy you plenty of books for your chosen subject. As an educational resource, university is quite poor value for money. Degrees involving practical work that is difficult to do at home, such as chemistry, are better value for money from an educational perspective than purely theoretical subjects.
