Anyone going to UCL?!?!

Yeah, I am doing law at UCL. Tough course and bloody tough exams! But if you get through, it's a golden passport to any career, especially in law!!! For all you new folks coming in - welcome. One piece of advice - don't let it drag, keep up with the work, or you'll die very miserably in Easter. Have a great time and take full advantage of everything UCL has to offer (Law Society nearly always (and I mean every week!) has free drinks and receptions sponsored by various big law firms!

I'm not going to UCL anymore because I didn't make my grades. Needed AAA and a pass at As and I got AABB and A at AS. I wanted to go there so bad and I was really devastated when they just said no.

Honestly, it's no loss.

The UCL drop-out rate is suspiciously high; I was studying Archaeology there last year, but dropped out, and I'd estimated that by that point, about 10% of the year had already left. UCL is hideously overpriced, and the union is quite shit in all honesty. (99s, an event where all drinks cost 99p, seems like a good idea in theory but in practice? 1,000 drunk students packed into a venue the size of a shoebox dancing to 'I Think We're Alone Now' by Tiffany and waiting five hours to be served.) Yes, London has a plethora of nightclubs. You name it, London has it. The only problem is that Euston/The West End is not conducive to the type of money your average student will have.

As for the accommodation, I stayed in Schafer House which looked like a prison block, had a common room that was out of order for two months, broken curtains in my bedroom which didn't get fixed in the six months I'd stayed there, and post that regularly went astray. And, joy of joys, I was paying £82 a week for this! Some people I knew at UCL were staying in converted Victorian houses (Campbell House, I think) which had shared rooms, six flights of stairs, no lifts, and one basement kitchen/washing room which was shared between 60-odd people.

Hope all works out well for you. I have a few friends doing law in Nottingham, and they love it. I know it's tough to not get something when you have your heart set on it, but I believe things will work out for the best.

Man, you guys must be very clever. I got predicted AAB, just got AAA, but UCL rejected me for law.

well that's encouraging..... is there nothing good about UCL? I'm scared now! I'm going to that prison hole in less than a month! :'(

So you mean you were predicted AAB by teachers, and UCL gave you an offer of AAA I assume, and that in A2 you got AAA, but still got rejected?

Guys! I have an idea! all of us who use the forum and go to UCL should wear something identifying us eg wear all blue, or something like that, so that if we see each other on the first day, we'll be able to chat! what do you think?

Am gonna be studying law there hopefully. Just wanted to talk to people who r floating in the same boat.

i am going to ucl to do Mathematics and Economics, i am so exciting and delighted now.
