Maybe their courses aren't as good as they think :mmm:

I'm actually warming to the idea of any of my universities. Like to think that my worst choice is still top 10 in UK for Chemistry, is pretty damn good to have.

Trying to explain to my parents that if I go to Bath, it's still pretty damn good :lol:

They came top 3 in UK this year for Chemical Engineering. That person from Imperial said they were impressed because Bath has gone really far :biggrin:

My friend and I were having an argument about whether how 'tripos' is pronounced. How is it pronounced?

I would say try-poss, but I can understand tree-poss or trip-oss.

Are you two going to believe me without even asking me why it's pronounced that way? :lol:

It's partly to do with its etymology.

It does, actually :smile:

tripus in Latin means tripod, and the stools graduates used to sit on were the origin I think.

Yeah, I've just Wiktionaried it but got distracted comparing the IPA for different dialects of English.

The pronunciation of tripus by the way is trip-uss.
