I do 7 hours of teaching and theres breaks between each lesson (i.e now :smile:

), I will be going to see my ex-college about the exams etc I may be able to sit them there if not I have found a private school about an hour away that will let me do them.

First college cancelled their courses, the second one which I was at for about a week threw me out because the head didn't like the fact I didn't live with my parents among other things.

Hmmmm I personally have a vendetta against Aber cos my old head of 6th form was obsessed with it and I got sick of hearing about it.

Sheffield definitely..I'm starting there in 9 days

I can't believe they just threw you out. Surely you have to do something pretty bad to get thrown out at A-level stage?!

at our school they threaten us with kicking us out at any time considering we dont have to be there are are there voluntarily, yet if we are late to school or miss a day we still need a note becuase it counts as truanting!! makes no sense to me lol

Aber is pretty self-contained and quite a boring but sweet place. Live for the students and the university because its miles from everywhere else and the road to get there is an ass. It has an ok reputation, did not stop my Grandad from becoming a lecturer and Dad a solicitor. Its not too bad. Hope you like the sea and stoney beaches.

no doubt chriswhit will say Sheffield

Couldn't possibly comment, and will not do so! :smile:

All I will say is good luck in choosing, and select the place that is right for you according to what you want from the place you might end up, be that Sheffield, Liverpool or Aber.

Sheffield and Liverpool are going to have far superior city life but not that warm sense of locality in the same way. With Aber not having much other than a uni, I hear the facilities are fabulous. Also the National Library of Wales
