I hope so that's the reason why I am doing a Foundation year now instead of doing an MChem degree :P

Physics ftw!

I love speech therapy!
It's genuinely really interesting, obviously there are some parts I enjoy more than others but that's to be expected. I love doing placements and I think I'll be really happy having a career in it.
Obviously I like it less at this exact moment though because I'm still doing exams haha :frown:

What do you hate about it?

I just hate how consuming it is, compared to the topics all of my friends are doing. I know a degree is meant to be intense, there never seems to be a moment where there isn't a piece of work to do. As soon as one piece of work is done, there's another to prepare. This is probably the case with all degrees, I'm just very stressed at this moment because it's exam period! And this year has had very boring substantive modules (in my opinion). Hopefully next year will be better as we got to choose 5 of our own modules.

It's all down to personal opinion, I just can't imagine anything as boring/time consuming as spending the rest of my life doing this.

Yes, but no more than many other things so it came down to what I know most about so I can doss the first year.

Yup, I love it.

I've done it as a hobby for a while, and when I finally realised that I could make a living by doing it, I made up my mind :biggrin:

Yep, I love it. I already made the mistake of trying to do a course I was just 'meh' about last year.

Do you know exactly what you want to do and are you passionate about it, or are you applying for a course just because you are good at it, or to go to a good uni, or just for the sake of getting an easy degree? What do you truly want to study?

Bingo!
I don't care what I do, as long as it involves maths and lots of money. Just turns out I have a mild interest in both insurance and accounting and this subject fits everything really :smile:

I've wanted to study English since I was about 15... Despite all my science teachers encouraging medecine I never considered it. Doing something that you love and being happy is more important that having tons of money and no self satisfaction as far as I'm concerned.

Yes absolutely. It's kinda stupid to waste money and time doing a subject you hate unless the only subject you like is surf studies or something.

I think degree in surf studies would be pretty cool. If it involved 3 years of travelling to hot countries with sick surf I wouldn't complain. So don't mock what's not right for you

i'm not sure i can deal with another 3 years of 'spot the main verb,' I'll have to wait and see.

Lol, thats why I didn't want to take English at university :s-smilie:

I'm so bored of English at A level, especially grammar!

I LOVE english and writing and I don't think that even at degree level would I hate to see a full bookshelf. There are parts of English I don't enjoy (Shankspeare was okay but Gaskell was a bitch for writing North and South, I HATE it) but the degree I'll take has some interesting sounding stuff.

I kinda wish I'd checked out what the other unis are doing in depth but it's all good, and I get to do creative writing which'll help me with my book :biggrin:
