At what ranking do universities become not worth going

No, I was talking about your spelling—that is the word I used in the antecedent clause. I then said "you can not use your correctly". You are clutching at straws if you are supposing that I was trying to say "you cannot use [your spelling] correctly". That sentence makes absolutely no sense stylistically. As you can see by the other posts in this thread, I am a grammatical demigod. You might construct such an egregious clause, but not me. You have continually spliced commas, which I admit is acceptable for an informal register. Though, you have shown your willingness to use semicolons (inappropriately), so I do not accept the register excuse.

I am trying to teach a lot of people in this thread about the subtleties of English grammar and I think you are being selfish demanding all my time. Henceforth, you shall not receive a reply.

Best of luck at Warwick or Coventry Uni—whichever gives you an offer, bud.



I had an offer from Durham and declined it. That must mean Durham is unworthy of attending, yes?

Your saying you did not accept an offer is not meaningful without context. For example, you might have declined it because you had an offer from a better course. However, that does not mean that Sheffield is itself bad.

You're*.

gooot emm

Economically speaking as all universities are around the same price tag so when does it become financially sensible to not go to university, if your prospective jobs aren't able to pay for that loan?

Unlucky bud, he's actually correct.

Read the first stanza and stopped there, you are so gross.
Your lyrics are terrible btw.

Even going to Kent will get you to Goldman Sachs!

I'd say outside top 5 and it's a waste of your time and money, time is too valuable to be wasting 3-5 years to potentially get a few extra thousand pounds a year after graduating and paying for student fees.

Anything past 30 - 35 n its better to do an apprenticeship instead tbh

I remember some of the apprenticeship adverts I'd see on job listing sites... "Do you have a C in GCSE Maths and English and a U in General Studies? Join Tesco today for an exciting opportunity to earn £1 an hour and a diploma in stacking shelves!"

lmao at 'malicious' actually lolling right now

What if someone went to a average to decent ranked Uni like De Montford, got a first/2.1 and then did a Masters at somewhere like Warwick, would that help their prospects or nah?

I am SO sick of seeing this on TSR I nearly didn't go to uni because of this. There isn't, recent studies have shown graduate unemployment is around 4 months after graduating no matter what uni you go to, there is a 6% difference in wages. A degree is a degree your experience and personal development are worth more than your institution.

You're telling me people who don't land jobs before uni ends are only unemployed for 4 months before getting a graduate job? I thinketh not.

Truth is, if you want a graduate job, you're better off going to one of the universities that employers target, I mean you don't necessarily HAVE to, but the battle become a lot more chaotic if you don't.

Certainly, there are outliers of people who have managed to get on to graduate jobs from less targeted universities and yes, they have gone on to earn a decent wage but for the majority of people, it'd be a much wiser decision to go to a uni with some semblance of recognition.

I'll have to declare a disclaimer: this doesn't apply to non-traditional degrees nor does it apply to non-traditional careers, design for example. Even then it does to an extent, Leeds/Loughborough have some of the best design courses in the country, even Coventry/Sheffield Hallam are decent - that's because they've built up their own niche brand recognition.

At the end of the day, to maximise your chances of getting into the career you want, go to a university that is recognised for your subject, overall rankings are only nominally useful for a certain small range of careers.
