The Secret Life of Students on Channel 4

I dont even understand that at this time of the morning

I've been enjoying it because I'm looking at going to university next year (2015). I'm looking to stay in halls and so I was hoping that the show would show some more mature students (I'm going to be 33 when I go next year). Obviously an older person sipping on their cocoa while studying doesn't make good TV lol. I will hopefully go out and bond with the younger students. I do have a fairly young outlook on life and I'm determined to enjoy my university experience. Overall the show is good in showing me what to expect. It shows the consequences of partying and pushing yourself too much.

I'm sure Channel 4 did warp things slightly for entertainment purposes as she implies, but all she does in this blog is moan and make excuses to justify her bad attitude. The insomnia claim is rubbish - that was never mentioned by her in the documentary; and when she was asked by her tutors why she didn't turn up for 9am lectures she just shrugged and said she didn't really have a reason. Even if she did have any element of insomnia, it'll be because she spent all night on her phone texting Troy and tweeting garbage.

Leicester has a page dedicated to TSLOS, which has Q&As with all the students.

Agreed, and for the pregnancy it was her fault for having unprotected sex. She's just spouting loads of excuses to try make up for her bad behaviour.

Sure, she may have needed some equipment but she didn't need to spend £300 on clothes through an overdraft. That's really her own fault. If people like her thought more before spending their money, they wouldn't have as many problems. And her grant was probably delayed because she didn't apply for student finance in time. Too many people mess around with that too then whine when they don't get it in time.



haha, Aiden's Q&A, can't say I'm surprised.

How did you know she had unprotected sex...? Condoms aren't 100% effective nor is the pill

It was mentioned somewhere wasn't it? Or am I thinking of Josie?

Hassan's little lecture on fruit I thought was quite amusing and I liked Ben too. He seemed to look out for everyone, and his last minute application reminds me of myself haha

Slightly confused why you would "hate" someone for wanting to go out partying in his first year. Besides he didn't actually drop out and I kinda think the whole thing was a bit of a camera-charade

He did end up dropping out lol. Think he's teaching English in China now or something along those lines.
