Should I transfer to an easier University to get a first/ 2.1 or stay and get a third

I'm MORSE student, so the modules we just finished were ST108 (applications of siuewfbuirgfiubreuianalysisandlinearalgebraand****) and Maths Programming, which is alright as a module, but I could really have done without it being right before exams.

Consider that your friend has adapted better to university style learning and advanced maths than you.
The difference between the difficulty of two unis is not that great that a 2.1 in one is a 3rd in another.

Why not? Take a look at some differences in papers for yourself. Here is a first year maths paper from 2010 at the University of Aberystwyth: http://www.aber.ac.uk/en/media/MA1002c-10.pdf

By contrast, here's a first year maths paper from the University of Cambridge:

I'm fairly sure a student who got a third in their first year of a Cambridge maths degree could get a 2.1 in the first year of an Aber maths degree working equally hard.

Another thing of note, more about the University, but a few of our modules don't have lectures notes. Thankfully the course's society has put together revision guides for a bunch of them, but imagine if they hadn't. We'd have nothing to work from but our own notes made in lectures.

I have NEVER relied on my own notes to revise. I work much better using guides/ past papers.

Mate, don't complain about lack of lecture notes.

I have been to 10 lectures max in my time at Warwick (and I'm just about to finish second year). And I'm doing fine, there are soo many resources online it's unbelievable how little extra you get from lectures.

It's about the one thing I can take at University where I have some natural interest in. I can work for hours on end on Photoshop/ Sony Vegas making something.

You mean just generally online?

And how would you know what to study if you've only been to 10 lectures..?

There's currently 2 sites where you can find current and past resources for a module.

Lecturers usually email out some form of syllabus near exam time. Do past papers (if there are past papers that have been set by the current lecturer even better). Assignment sheets are almost always online, it's not too much effort to collect them from the department. I'm not saying not to go to lectures, plenty of people do and do well, plenty of people don't and do equally well. Attending lectures isn't a prerequisite for exam performance, spending lots of time practicing questions is the single best thing you can do for any maths module.

Yeah, but if you attend lectures, u have a feeling of what the lecturers questions look like, or what he thinks is important for the final exams! Not only for Maths modules, but for every single module!

Lecturers don't ask questions in the lectures. They simply write up their lecture notes, explain some motivation for the material, and answer questions.

There are usually revision lectures for us anyway in which the lecturer (or an assistant to the lecturer) reviews material and stresses what is important for the exam.

Most people only attend lectures because it forces them to at least look at the work, or it makes them feel like they are actually doing something academic at university. If you are happy to spend a few hours a day actually reading the notes then there is very little reason to go to the actual lecture.

While your point is still largely valid, I must point out that comparing one first year module's exams to judge university standards seems a bit silly. Yes Cambridge has harder first year exams, but we can only really say that Cambridge expects more from its students. Whether or not any Aber student would or would not be able to cope with the Cambridge degree (top lecturers, best resources) is a debatable topic.
