    Harvard school of music. I originally didn't want to go there. But I am now. Plus my inspiration in music is there so I might get the chance to meet him.

    College is easy the workload is a joke it is really only an issue if you are a jackass who can not manage their time in an efficient manor. That is my two cents.


    A music degree eh what do you plan to do with it? (serious question not making fun of you one of my roommates is into music stuff and i guess there some sort of a certificate system to be a conductor (if that is what the dude is called lol, the guy in front of the orchestra)

    Got accepted into the 4 universities I applied for. Only two asked for interviews, one I didn't reply to, the other I did.

    http://www.futureworks.co.uk/

    Is the one I'm hoping to go to, been accepted, it's just a case of getting UCAS points now.

    I'm hopefully going to Lincoln, it's not the best Uni but it's nice.
    And like Cingle it's just the case of getting UCAS points.

    Also what do you need for Future Works?

    It's 200 UCAS points for the course I want.

    Selection process was quite strict too.

    I think around 1000 people applied, 200 got interviews and around 30 or so will get a place.

    Cool, rather low UCAS points though. Seems to be all about the Interviews =O

    Anyway I'm hoping to do Game Design, 3 year course but I'm hoping to do an extra year within the industry it'self.

    Yeah. A couple of my other univercities have that option. Futureworks seems the best out of them however.

    It sounds an interesting option, but, I'm not as keen on the universities.

    Futureworks is also about a 20 minute journey from where I live too, which makes it very convenient.

    Although, it is in the city centre, so, I have to use public transport to get anywhere near there.

    Manchester is a bit to far for me, even Lincoln is a 2 hour drive (I live in Norfolk), but I do want to get away from my parents.
    But I really liked the city, the facilities were also really nice too also 5 minute walk from the campus to the city center is rather great.

    That's what im hoping, although everyone i know including old engineering students say that engineering major's are the hardest ones to complete. D:

    Even my AP Physics teacher who's like a genius compared to every other teacher in the school had trouble with a few of his classes.

    I went to UCLA, majored in Sociology and minored in English.

    College is the best time of your life. Enjoy it. But also study hard to ensure that you'll have a life after college is over

    Attending the 'Rijksuniversiteit Groningen' in 2011 (best university everrr, psh).

    I'm going to follow two studies at once:

    Left ones are the bachelors and the right ones are the masters.

    International business and management -> Master still unknown. I'll probably end up doing Human Resource Management.

    Art, culture & media -> Master in Journalism.

    He either already went or he's still going, unless I'm thinking of an entirely different person.

    Will be attending McGill next year myself . Going to do my bachelor of sci and then hopefully get into McGill med school. Luckily I got an ROTP scholarship so I don't have to worry about student loans etc.

    I go to the University of Memphis.(in Memphis, TN of course)
    I'm majoring in Computer Information Systems.
    I started out at a community college for 2 years. This is my first year at Memphis, and my 2nd semester, almost finished with it, Thankfully enough.
    I was a big leap from Community college, but community college wasn't too big of a leap from High school. It was just a lot cooler. Less rules, not as many dumb ppl as high school, more freedom. But with freedom comes other things. Like a lot of teachers not grading homework. Which made me not do it, so I got off to a bad start but picked up, and didn't fall anything. Just took a second to get used to. Also information is pushed on you a lot fast. And if you take Tuesday Thursday classes its a lot longer than what you'd be used to from high school.
    Also I don't think it was such a big leap from Community college to a University just because Universities are harder. It was because I took all the core class, the easy classes, while I was at the Community college. So of course my classes are going to be harder at a University of becuz all I have left to take are harder classes.

    What College/University are you going to attend (if confirmed, if not where did you get accepted into)?

    University of Michigan - Ann Arbor

    Do you think you're prepared for it? As in the workload, the change of setting and the other stuff.

    Not at all.

    Finally, what do you think you want to major in?

    Business

    I am most likely going with a reliable source of work if I decide not to go for my Masters next year, the United States Air Force.
