I havent found uni to be 'the greatest experience ever' (not to put all you would-be Lancastrians off :smile:

I cannot wait to graduate, going to be a great day hopefully, I am not attending the Grad Ball though, far too expensive!

I am not continuing onto a masters, and currently don't have a job to go into but I will find something :smile:

How about you?

Going to my graduation, but not to the grad ball... definately too expensive!!!

I'm also finished with full time education now and wont be coming back to do a masters.

Like the majority of students leavng i have no job to go into but currently setting up my own business which i'm hoping to expand when i leave lol but will need another job on the side to start with at least to get some money in...

Any ideas what you want to do when you finish?

Just a quick question - how much are they actually charging you guys for the Grad Ball?

The ticket is £60 with purple card or £65 without, then when you pay for it you are told that you must pay an additional £7.50 coach fare!

Last year it was around £40.

Hence why I (and others) are not going :frown:

yeah - far too expensive for me to be able to afford!!!

Most people have a great time at lancaster - i've just been unlucky i dont live with very sociable people this year - for the reason they are normally at their partners houses.... hence the lonliness...

and most of my friends i made in second year were masters students and i had a great year but they have consequently left and so i'm now in situation of not actually knowing anyone!

LUSU should set up some kind of chat forum - would be helpful me thinks...

Chancellors Wharf i've heard isn't gonna be owned by uni for much longer - talk of it going over to St martins

Don't worry! You don't have to live there if you don't want to, there are plenty of other houses and apartments to rent in town. If you want you can stay on campus as many of the colleges allow the opportunity to stay on it during your three years.
