York is a great Uni! It was my insurance choice. They have a really cool robotics department.
It's so nice! Oooh that's good to know. I wanted to make a university robot wars team before the show was cancelled
They have a robotics Masters program you could look into if you really want an academic departure from what you are currently doing. They take all sorts into that program, not just computer scientists and mathematicians. They have art students and architects and all sorts.

I will see how my degree goes! But I will definitely keep that in mind- thank you so much!
Ooh another 2nd year maths student How did you find first year? Oxford whew
it was certainly an experience! I found it genuinely really tough to be surrounded by mathematicians who knew what was going on, but I've certainly learned a lot. I got a pass in my Prelims (115/120 of everyone who passed .) It translated to a 2:2, however I learned a lot about how to study, and what I need to be looking at throughout the year. How did first year go for you?
