How cheap

[old.Hyponutz]

my college has to be the cheapest place in stoke, for the first 20 mins ive just had to sit crossed legged lookin up at the pc screen, my tutor wouldnt let me go get a chair. then after a bit of moaning about neck ache i got... a table to sit on, which really takes the mik....and now my ass is sore

 

[Sir Frizz]

heh, unlucky m8eh, where are the chairs, ot have they been nicked?

 

[Mr_Horus]

And? What do you want us to do about it?

If you had put in the effort at school you would be at University rather than College

 

[bigbb]

i'm at college but sitting in a comfy chair trying to do some "work". Isn't education fantastic, even get a 1mb connection here, beats sitting at home doing work.

 

[bigbb]

Horus^ we're not Scotland here. We have college before University because A-levels take 2yrs then we go onto Uni. Scottish wierd ones go straight to uni after school, which is just silleh.

 

[old.roobus]

Don't moan at us, we had to pay for that uncomfortable table out of our hard earned wages *grumble* *mutter*

 

[old.Hyponutz]

yey i now have a chair... great it only took 50 min, with another 20 to go... grr i h8 this place, well apart from the web access

 

[bigbb]

awww, cheers roobus. Much appreciated, I enjoying this comfy chair just that ikle bit more now I know who gave it to meh.

Uhm, i'm well aware of how A-Levels work, but College is someone you would do an HNC or an HND etc.

And to my knowledge, you do A-Levels at school then go on to University yus?

 

[Sir Frizz]

you do A-levels at college, GCSE's are at school

 

[bigbb]

Nopeh, unless ur in a Sixth Form. I'm in an college, studying 4 A-levels in meh 2nd year. Only just started university applications and in 13th year of education :/

Colleges do HNC and HND but not dis one. You don't train to be hairdresser here.

 

[old.Hyponutz]

rofl

 

[Mr_Horus]

Ahhh but, thats a 6th Form College no?

 

[old.Hyponutz]

mine isnt no... but i see where your coming from

 

[bigbb]

In a way yes, but u tend to have two types of college.

Post 16 - GNVQ, A levels etc.
Big colleges - Everything from training to be tv chef to fork lift truck driver. They do also do Post-16 stuff.

 

[Mr_Horus]

Ack. Either way the English system sucks donkey cock

 

[old.Hyponutz]

the school system does, but college onwards is the best fun ive ever had

 

[bigbb]

Tis true

 

[xane]

this is all part of the new government eduction initiative, when they said "make classes smaller" they meant to sit you closer together

 

[Mr_Horus]

heh. University is even better than college.

 

[bigbb]

good, but how do you know if you've not been to college here?

anyway, yus camazotz ur right heh

 

[Mr_Horus]

Cos i have mates who didnt put in the effort in school and are now at college.

Come to think of it, I didnt put in the effort either but im just a smart bastard

 

[old.plightstar]

University may be better than college, but most be go to collage before they go to uni, it also makes more sense, cause you get more qualifications, and more you get to travel more.

im in a upper school cause i am very lazy, and im having great fun here so there

 

[bigbb]

exactly, this man hasn't quite grasped the concept yet.

Horus: But they're at scottish colleges?

Your too intelligent for the likes me.

 

[Mr_Horus]

Whats the point in having more qualifications anyway?

If you have say a BSc, nobody is gonna be bothered about an HNC or A-Levels seeing as the BSc is rather more advanced.

 

[old.plightstar]

It makes you sound like you are willing to put time and effort into your work, to impress them. thats what my head of year says anyway

 

[bigbb]

bah, still not got it. We don't have a choice! Can't enter university with a bunch of llama gcse grades fs. You need further education grades before you get anywhere near higher eduaction, I expect if you had come to a English uni you would have to take a further qualification with you at least.

 

[Mr_Horus]

No, YOU dont get it.
I am well aware that you need fucking A-Levels to get into English Universities. I'm not denying that fact.
Nor am I talking about it.
I'm talking about HNC/HND qualifications.

 

[bigbb]

OoOoO, stressy

 

[Mr_Horus]

Yes well, i'm working on a particularly hard piece of Java Coursework atm and i'm far from happy.
