Southampton Uni chat thread

I woke up when it went off on the other side of Richard Newitt, figured it would only be you lot who had to deal with it, then had to get up when it went off here anyway >.< bloody alarm. I felt so ill as well, ended up missing my electronics lecture because i only woke up at half 10. stupid illness. :frown:

1) You should have pulled an all-nighter like i did. it seems to be that when i do, something important happens the next day :s-smilie:

2) Whereabouts in Glen are you then? (RNC H Block here :rolleyes:

)

Rnc E ^.^

can someone doing the computer science or software engineering course at soton tell me a bit about it please..

is it more programming based than the same course at other unis? what languages do you use?
what aspects of the course/university do you think are better or not as good as a higher ranking university like imperial?

Currently doing Java, and next up will be C++

Obviously i haven't done the degree anywhere else, but given that at the higher ranked CompSci unis it's nearly fully maths based, i'm glad to be where I am - hands on programming is ace. Not to mention the facilities here rule, all the textbooks are free, and everyone is really, really happy to help.

For reference, i looked at Exeter, Durham, University College London, here, and Birmingham Uni. Here > all those, facilities-wise.

EDIT: shortly, i'll have started a blog on ECS. It's worth having a look there, you can find out an awful lot:

those in-lines were NOT comfortable, trust me.
i ended up leaving after about half an hour cos i'd stayed up the whole of the night before and i was feeling a bit faint :/

you may have seen me actually, i was the one wearing a white shirt with black stripe, with fairly short dark hair. i fell over once and was also knocked down by one of the susu.tv people :angry:

I met Danlelle today during my fizzicks lecture =D

Nice to know that there's someone else who doesn't have a clue about what is going on in the lectures. :>.<:

so you think its okay to portray someone as stupid?

I went to The Hobbit and then the foam party at Sobar.

So much fun! Although my hair is sticky as, and I swallowed so much foam I've lost my voice! good times :biggrin:

Eyyyy. They played well good music too.

For you Cloop: They played 'since you've been gone' and I danced in the foamy goodness and thought of you.

And JTM you shoulda stayed!!
