Earlsdon is definitely safer than south leam. South leam is dodgy I would no way go back to living there!

I don't understnad your argument, its ridiculous coventry is a ****hole. it's like a given, you 'send people to coventry' its an expression relating the crapness of the place. In contrast leamington is a nice place, its safer there are bars there aren't as many chavs. Your friends may be living there, thats great but at the end of the day the warwick university student town is leamington, which is where most students live. Who cares what source i base it on, i don't need a social anthropologist to study the two towns and lend me to conclude that cov is ****ter. i know it is. i've visited the two. and rent isn't realy that different, i'm paying 52 qid a week in leamington...

Lots of parts of Leamington are nice but where the students live is the worst area whereas Earlsdon is one of the nicer areas of Coventry. There are pros and cons of either.

If you havn't been both and arn't going to give a balanced view it would be better just to keep you mouth shut.

This type of responce is what I was on about in my original argument. So thanks for proving me correct, and have fun living in a not nice part of Leam, where there are no decent clubs and a 30 min bus ride to uni. Cant think of anywhere i'd rather live. :rolleyes:

Past the bridge is generally considered south.

For the love of god do NOT do principles of finance!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously everyone regrets taking it, it starts off quite easy but then gets ridiculously hard and everyone bricks themselves by exam time. Trust me on this one - DO NOT TAKE IT.

I didnt take it personally, but have lots of friends who did who regretted it big time, and also people in the year below who I told not to take it but took it anyway and wished they had listened to me bwahahahaa

2nd year I did Japanese 1 which was fun :biggrin:

3rd year I did economic policy in the UK (really good), british econ (easy - exam questions are pretty much the same every year) and japanese 2.

Investment banks wont prefer you if you've done a finance course so dont risk lowering your average because of it.

Dude chill out with your reverse snobbery it's getting annoying. No need to get so worked up about it. Maybe you should call nightline.

Oh and is POF really that difficult? I mean I doubt it's that harder than any other econ core modules (micro/macro 2)

No the phrase is about ostracising someone not that coventry is rubbish.
I am personally living in Leam next year, i would have however been happy living in Earlsdon, it's just that my friends wanted to live in Leam so that is where im going.

Yes, maybe I should. :rolleyes:

Its not reverse snobbery, but it does wind me up, and after the responce he gave, I think its perfecly justified.

Its probably not harder than micro (micro was flipping hard though!!!!) but it still is really difficult - why would you want to take such a difficult module when all of your other 2nd year modules are going to be really tough as it is? Unless you have a real passion for understanding finance etc but dont take it just because you think ti will give you an advantage when applying to IBs.
