University of Dork

Just found this quote...

'A survey conducted by Siemens last week found York students to be the most boring in the country.The survey, which involved a series of tasks including drinking competitions and underwear-stealing, ended early after the York participants could only be talked into going as far as the karaoke night.One of the competition judges said he was “disappointed” with the attitude. “It seems that here they prefer cups of tea and an early night,” he said. “That’s a shame.” York Student Union are currently trying to shed their “University of Dork” image'

Nothing wrong with karaoke!

Hey this looks like a good york uni thread :biggrin:
I really want to go to york!!! I'm just doing my AS levels at the moment and was wondering what courses everyone is doing ? and what grades you got for AS and need to get?

I want to do computer science and a bit worried the competition is intense!

I'm doing Compsci at York! The entry requirements are A in Maths, A in Physics, B in another sciency subject (at A level). Unless you 'cash in' your AS results, you don't need to put them on your UCAS form, so they don't (technically) need to be any particular level. What they'll look at is the predicted grades on your teacher reference, so make sure those are good.
