I have tried to use this web link on every single browser possible, but it fails to work. Could you please upload a screenshot? Also does Coldplay ever perform in UCL? :P

Economics first year?

The timetable is quite lax. It averages about one to two hours per day in terms of lectures and then you may have a one hour tutorial however my thursdays are terrible, we have four hours in a row (9am to 1pm) which is very difficult becuase you lose focus after the first two hours, it doesn't help that the first class is econometrics followed by math and then on alternative weeks I also have a tutorial at 5.
We have coursework submissions almost every week. In the first term we had three coursework submissions each week. In this term it alternates, this week we have three coursework submissions for math, macro and econometrics so it's quite hard to manage especially since we all have our macro exam next week as well.
Most of us do go out quite often, in the first term I frequented Moonies and Proud. This term I've decided that I despise Moonies and just go to random clubs around London. I think that most economics freshers spend a lot more time with their hall friends than other economics students. I've heard that we get closer in the second year? We'll see...I think that there is a flaw in the system because we are quite a big class around 250? And we rarely have any events for us so if we did we could get to know each other much better. Maybe things will be different for you.

Sums it up :wink:

My timetable as a first year law fresher was:

Monday:
10 - 11am: Contract tutorial (had this every other week)
11 - 1pm: Property lecture from hell (attendance understandably decreased gradually during the year)
2 - 3pm: Public law lecture
3 - 4pm: Property tutorial (again had this every other week)

Monday night = Moonies... if you can survive the waking up for contract on tuesday.

Tuesday:
9 - 11am: Contract lecture (i.e. half the law fresher either a) turned up because they were crazy, b) skived, went to Moonies on monday night and didn't wake up on time, c) turned up to the lecture, woo, fell asleep at the back)

2 - 3pm: Public law lecture

Tuesday afternoons I'd be doing Public law work for tutorial on thursday

Tuesday night = jazz jammin in the union!

Wednesday:
11 - 12pm: World Legal Orders lecture

Wednesday afternoons I'd probably do the WLO work for the tutorial on friday.

Thursday:
11 - 1pm: World Legal Orders lecture (why we needed 3 hours a week of WLO I don't know)

1 - 2pm: Public Law tutorial (again, had this every other week)

Club neon is always on a thursday, so I went to all the club neons this year :smile:

messy, crowded and fun with face paint & glow sticks.

Friday:
12 - 1pm: World Legal Orders tutorial (every other week)

Saturday:
During the day I'd usually be doing the property tutorial work... sleeping, watching TV, catching up with friends etc etc

Sunday:
During the day, I might be found doing the property reading for the lecture (then again maybe not... I found out that most of the time the reading is essential, but pointless because some of the cases don't make sense, and the lecturer explained them in the lecture)

Fit into the timetable random things like... going to the Welcome Trust thing on a whim, being sucked into the Scientology place, going to ICCOS for lunch at the weekend, other clubbing events like Pacha, and you have a fairly average timetable for a law fresher. Some people did more work than I did, some people went out more and did less work... :smile:

Can any current UCL law students enlighten me as to whether or not this is still accurate?

We don't have World Legal Orders lecture...we get 2 hours of lecture a week for each module (Public law, Contract, Criminal Law, Property Law I), and 1 hour of tutorial time for each module every 2 weeks, so if you're doing straight law depending on how your tutorials are allocated you get 10-11 hours' contact time a week.

I'm currently just finishing my first year btw :smile:

Physics anyone?

Did you all buy all the books on your recommended reading list? I'm starting uni in UCL this september hopefully, and I didn't think about it until just now.
