Yeah, I know people who pretty much live in the cabins in the library :lolwut: you'll get used to it.
Well get it done, I haven't even started anything.



It actually isn't........Russell group status is based on research, Academic reports, etc so masters and phd and lecturer stuff. Just going to a Russell group doesn't mean you're guaranteed a job at all, its not one bit true to be honest.......it all depends on the person, at the highest paid graduate programs they won't care or even know whether they are Russell group sometimes, but simple from the reputation of the name...so a few unis would get recognition which are the elite ones.


Yah, i don't see myself doing that :s And alright bossy boots, you get it done too :smile:

Yeah I know officially it's based on research etc but the fact is the Russell group unis have the highest entry requirements and the most intelligent people. I have an uncle at Credit Suisse and a cousin at Accenture, they both sometimes interview candidates and said generally they only really look at people who went Russell group unis and take them seriously.

Actually they don't to be honest.........there are plenty of places which aren't Russell group but are considered highly............plus its pretty easy to get into QM lowest entry is like BBC I believe.
And again, going to Russell group doesn't guarantee anything, it all depends on the individuals and what they have done.....those who volunteer, have links, loads of society stuff, work experience, etc are much better off than others, even if they didn't go to a Russell group. Something like investment banking is especially hard, QMUL has very little links with that kind of stuff, mainly with their technology departments from my experience.
