If someone went to the University of Hertfordshire as opposed to LSE is that bad?

THE QUESTION IS WHY DO YOU HATE YOURSELF ? For not getting into a prestigious uni.

Personally, no.

I think it is wrong to judge someone on the university that they attend (or whether they attend university at all).

I just hope people are happy where they are and are enjoying themselves.

Out of interest, why?

Erm, no, of course not. I started out at a "less prestigious" university (not that I like the whole "prestige" obsession anyway), and whilst I dropped out because I wasn't happy with the course, it would be enormously hypocritical if I were to suddenly turn my nose up at universities like the one I went to. :s-smilie:

Hate the bastards

Essex is good, what are you on about?

I might expect less out of them on a forum. But i'll never ever do that if i meet them in person and they prove to be nice people. I have lots of friends who got lousy grades yet they seem to be perfectly OK to me and sometimes you'll find them even more sincere than those ''smarter'' students. Getting into a prestigious university doesn't mean anything, you wouldn't like to befriend with a snobbish and arrogant Oxbridge graduate, would you?(I'm not trying to say all of them are snobbish or arrogant.That's just an example)

Out of interest, why didn't you apply to more prestigious universities with your grades? :smile:

You could have given Oxbridge a shot with them, surely?

I applied to the universities I liked (with the exception of Warwick which was kind of a wildcard). I don't want to go to Oxbridge and I probably couldn't afford to do so.

Thanks for insulting the wonderful Lancaster and Hull lol, but I think you meant well haha. =D
