Seems a bit pointless to get tickets FOUR MONTHS before uni even starts. All those promoters on the Facebook group just want your money.

This. They're just hyping, in my experience not many people actually go to independently run freshers' events, at least not first years, and it's really overpriced too.

Really? :/ overall, how did you find your freshers experience?

Really good fun, there's never going to be a night during freshers where you don't have anything to do, whether that's with a society taster event, SU event, etc., which is why these independently run freshers' events end up as anticlimaxes, people would rather go to stuff with new friends and often you'll get a freshers' pass anyway so it's not like you'd pay extra, so a lot of people who buy tickets to these things just don't turn up or have to go alone without new friends. At least at Warwick, can't speak for anywhere else.

My brother's also studying maths. He's finding alright, he says anyway. But I realise how hard Warwick Maths is.

Yeah I wasn't really a fan lol, had a couple of amazing lecturers but otherwise I didn't get much out the course, though a lot of that wasn't their fault at all.

Ahh I see. I heard maths at Warwick is meant to be better than Oxford maths, is that true? Also how did you find STEP?

My Maths teacher at school said this to me as well, but I don't have any point of reference unfortunately, so I can't speak for Oxford. They did a lot of things right at Warwick, but there are things I would change definitely.

I found STEP pretty good to be honest, I really enjoyed it.

I think you're the first person I know who has enjoyed STEP tbh. Everyone else I asked said that STEP was really horrible.

What would be the things you'd change?

Yeah I loved it, really rewarding problem solving.

I would change the emphasis on memorising stuff for exams. Having to memorise definitions, proofs, etc. has nothing to do with how good you are at Maths. I was hoping for exams which were like STEP, but instead I got 'state the intermediate value theorem', or to give a proof which would take far to long to do on your own without memorisation in the middle of an exam.

Ah I see. So are you not studying maths, currently?
