Exeter vs UEA

I CANT WIN!! ive apologised for UEA and was taking part in a moan about Warwick (which i personally feel i have grounds to) and now im being slagged off for that. ITS MY OPINION!! IT DOES NOT MAKE ME A TWAT!! I was explaining how i felt on the open day - it is my experience and NOT YOURS so you have no right to have a go at me!! Unlike other universities that i have been to, at the Economics lecture at the Warwick open day last year they hardly went over the courses and instead boasted about the prestigious research that had been undertaken there. For me this was not useful and gave me a negative view of them, rather than the positive, encouraging view that i had been hoping for, from a university that has been given much praise, especially in the economics field.
Im very sorry for the person who opened this thread. i have only voiced my views on what i thought was a democratic and open-minded thread. I have however been mistaken in this and instead been hounded and shunned for any views i have expressed. As has been said, go wherever you want to, with the course that you feel most comfortable with. I dont know about anyone else but the open days were clear cut for me; i felt like exeter was a place i could see myself living for 3 years.

P.S. where is TVU - im guessing this is an insult, seeing as though it followed me being called a "twat" - how original by the way - i can tell u'll go far

EXACTLY!! No matter what i say on here, i always get moaned at!! ITS NOT FAIR!!

Perhaps its my accent...

Are you being tongue-in-cheek with your "It's not fair" comments? Seriously? Are you, like, 12?

the fact that your asking concerns me greatly...

where are you planning to go off to uni leekey? were u a UEA supporter?

I'm going to Edinburgh and I prefer to UEA to most other unis so I supported them!!!

whats wrong with exeter?

Who wins!

They made a point of demanding high grades and a swarms of uninformed 18 year olds decided that if it was hard to get into then it must be good. The whole thing could just have easily backfired but fortunately for them it worked out nicely and they stand today as a great educational institution. There is also the quite cynical view that the government(s) HAD to make a few from this group successful to justify thier creation (i.e. not another situation like the one Maggie gave us) and therefore Wariwck and York have been gifted a good reputation because of this. I personally don't buy that particular interpretation but its kinda the fringe conspiracy theory one that people band about. I would however dispute that Warwick has achieved great things, admittely its provides a first class education and justifies its position as a great uni BUT what / who has it produced of really note?!?

I think the problem stemmed from your 'UEA is shit' comment which made you look like an uninformed fool trying to put a very respectable university down to make another look better. If you had actually backed up that claim (which you attempted and failed to do in, yet again, an incredibly uniformed, and dare I say, pathetic way) then maybe you would have come out of this 'argument' with some credibility. Unfortunately for you, you didn't manage that, and now you're having a cry about it. Grow up.

I'd say Exeter because it has a better name.

awww, u go to bristol uni. i wanted to go there! i didnt even bother applying though as they wanted 3 A's for economics and my school would only give me ABB at the time i was applying. now they have decided differently but thats life for u - pretty shit!! what course is it that your studying?
