Sometimes I am wondering whether my degree is the right thing. But now that I'm always done, I won't quit and at the end, it wasn't too bad, although I would have chosen a different university.
If you did regret your degree, what aspect was it? The subject, the university, having done a degree at all, external pressures etc?
I do Chinese with Japanese at uni and really wish I'd done Chinese and German, as it would be a lot better with regards in applying for teaching jobs. I'd be a lot more versatile with a European language in my degree. Love the uni I'm at though, have no regrets about that
i ve just finished an FD, two years of a BA and used it to get onto nursing in september so will be 23 and have done 5 years in uni at the end but have no regrets whatsoever

What is it about your university you don't like? Location, atmosphere, course delivery poor, prestige?
I wish I had gone to a more prestigious uni for my course. The one I am at is good in the overall rankings, but my subject ranking is a bit poor (the subject rankings are crap anyway). I c*cked up and applied for the top 4 unis in the UK (Cambridge, LSE, UCL, Durham) and didn't apply for the next tier down. In hindsight, I'd have changed that. Also I picked a uni miles away from home which is a slight hassle, but not too much so.
I don't regret a) Doing my degree or b) The degree subject. I regret having high expectations of what my degree would bring - particularly the expectation that it would lead to employment. I'm glad I have a degree - it has opened up certain options that wouldn't be available to me without it but I do regret being influenced and led to believe that it would be more valuable as a means of employment than it actually is. I'm proud of having my degree though, I worked really hard for it.
I guess it will unfold in time, i feel i have a good subject and a good university 2.1 under my belt but it depends if i get the job i want. Oh well, either way i don't regret it, what could you have done that would have made it more fruitful?

Are you overall satisfied with your uni apart from its lack of prestige? Or is the crappiness of the university reflected in its prestige? What do you not like about your university?
Its mostly the prestige and the course delivery that is poor and not very rigorous. I wouldnt say it's 'easy' but I don't think we/students are challenged enough.
I only accepted the university as I wanted to study before the tuition fee increase. It was the most sensible option at that time.
Perhaps even a different subject.. although I love studying and I couldnt be happy with just one subject (thats why I find the liberal arts system in the US way better...) but it's difficult to do a second BA afterwards unless you have the money.
I regret not doing Medicine rather than Biochemistry, as Medicine interests me a lot more and if I'd known how dry Biochemistry could be when you're just learning about the principles I wouldn't have been quite so keen to study it however I'm not sure how good I would have been at the whole seeing patients thing, and doing a degree in Biochemistry has meant I can still get a good job in healthcare. And I've got a first so I can't complain about that!
Choice of university? No regrets. I've been really happy here, it felt like the best fit for me when I was looking round universities and I wasn't wrong. Being rejected from Oxford was a blessing in disguise.

How did you find the LLB? Would you have chosen a different degree in hindsight and why?

I made that mistake as well. Applying to those universities (which I really wanted to get into) for an over-subscribed subject that interested me very little. Not that the university was bad, but I feel I made a pretty bad choice in the subject in question.
I regret final year, it was messy and were I not concerned with chartership at the time, I could have just finished after 3rd year and done a more specific MSc or MRes.

Also what uni
LLB is interesting in parts and less so in others. It covers so much, so you will find huge parts which fit into one group or the other. I chose the degree because I wanted to be a lawyer, but sometimes I am left feeling I wish I studied something more 'philosophical', if you take my meaning, less practical. I think I'd have been a good teacher and I have a passion for language, so maybe English with a view to becoming a teacher would have been an alternative.
I talk a lot of sh*t on this site so I'd rather not give my coursemates any clues about my identity, haaha, it's an RG.
