I feel like shit about it, but I always end up passing. I am waiting for the punishment but it hasnt come. I stress myself out for no reason and the only reason my GPA is as good as it is is due to the fact that i enjoy doing a language at uni and that is where i get the good grades, but it still means nothing

NEET is the wrong lifestyle. Going to university while your parents pay for everything is the right lifestyle.

To all the young robots on here studying engineering let me give you some advice. I'm currently a senior mining engineer student who has 2 jobs lined up when I graduate in may. Focus on getting an internship. It is the most important thing you will have to do in college if you wish to get a job upon graduating. Apply for every single one that relates to your major, and I mean every single one, you don't get to be nitpicky with your jobs, expecially since every minority and women will already be in higher consideration for the job than you. Internships (for the most part) are you're only way into getting hired on right out of college. I'm telling you all this because of how guilty I feel for not pushing all of my future jobless friends into getting an internship of some sort. Even if you can't get an internship, trying applying for some other jobs within a company. For example I worked as just a regular miner for one summer, and I am 100% sure this is what landed me my first internship and now my first job offer. Also, if you are an engineering major who can't find an internship, try looking for jobs with mining companies. M ining is a diverse field that requires all types of engineering.

TL;Dr get an internship

Currently a 19 yo NEET but about to go to uni. I don't know whether I should do accounting or CompSci. Computer science means writing your own code and even though I can do that (highschool programming electives) I'm not a very creative person and I probably won't be able to do much with it.

I feel like I Should I just go for accounting instead since its just computers and I don't need to show off how creative or good I am at programming and I can just type things into spreadsheets.

I really don't care I just want the easiest computer related job possible.

Not to mention switching would have thrown a wrench into the whole "finish in a timely manner" thing.

Go to CC, transfer to a better university after the first 2 years.

Pick a major you enjoy, don't fall for the "college is a stepping stone to working meme". Anyone can find work, you just need something to do when you're not working. Ideally, your work would be something that you enjoy, but that's often hard to do.

I started med school late, had the same anxieties as you did.


Honestly, if you want to medicine your entire life, at the cost of friendships, romantic relationships, personal time, freedom and health; absolutely go into medicine.


If you're kind of on the fence, go into any healthcare field. PA's have a ton of free time and less schooling, and they're getting even more freedom. Your ego wants to get into medical school but you should be absolutely sure of what you're getting into; otherwise your soul will be happy with whatever. NP, CRNA. whatever.

I've heard that at other unis they force you to reformat and pay a fine. Anyone got an experience with this stuff?
>>
>>27151524
my uni just sent you a nasty letter. I don't think there's any real compliance with the formatting. Its my understanding that they take the flak from the ISP, and not you, as the service is utilized by you but not in your name. Its a way of punishing you to format it and fine you, but its nothing necessarily binding or enforced by the law of the land.

So if you want, you can transfer the files you want to keep to an HDD. They're not gonna know. its kinda stupid.

Get a proxy to torrent, and limit your upload. noobasaur.

Last saturday night I was in a house party with my class mates (one of them celebrated his birthday). I don't have a particulary good relationship with any of them. I got shitfaced by mixing beer and rum so I don't remember shit. I even tried to play the guitar, but I was too drunk. At the beginning there was this cuban girl who may have a crush on me (she was near me during most of the party, in other ocassions she took a pic with me), but I didn't even tried to talk her because of laziness an autism, just as always.

that's good to hear. I really admire that, but I don't have that wellspring of selflessness. I'm hoping I learn it or it clicks, but in the meantime I'll just settle for a cushy life in medicine to support my lifestyle.

Honestly, lots of people (myself included) still struggle with the academic side. Typically those that do are better off in clinical years. Its easy to tell who go here on personality or grades.

Its all in your habits! The mental anguish and endurance teeter totter will never end. You'll meet the challenges, but you won't feel at ease most of the time. Keep up the good work with those grades.

HOWEVER - the material isn't that difficult to understand, its the sheer volume you have thrown at you that's hard to keep up with. Its condensing upper level science courses from a semester to a couple of months. Keep that in mind moving forward.

like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders, since I was looking at possibly reapplying at the time. Got accepted late. I'll never forget it. I wasn't ecstatic, it was a relatively new feeling: one of just deep contentedness that throwing effort into the void finally paid off.

Keep up the practice. Its hardly about applying knowledge until some of second year and clinical practice. 1st and 2nd year are all memorizing things, pathways, you become a human computer to learn a consistent set of logic and trouble shoot certain presentations. So there's very little in the way of science as you're familiar with it.

Why biology? I'd think its a kind of useless degree unless you want to do some kind of doctorate.

Also, isn't NYU a state school? Unless its a private institution, going to NYU doesn't mean a whole hell of a lot. Its dependent on a lot of factors. If you got in because they're in a slump, chances are they're looking to line their pockets with out of state money. Its been whats happened to U of M for a few years. The prestige is wearing off that university because they're losing enrollment and money, so they rape the out of state 18 year old that thinks its as worthwhile as they reputation they try to command.
>>
>>27151955
It's private, the expected cost per year was ~71k and I only got 20k in aid. I've always wanted to live in NYC and it seemed like best way to make that happen. I applied to Columbia as well but I doubt that I will get accepted. Fingers crossed though

its probably heartbreaking to have you kid not return any kind of reaction.

Let them know whats going on, it doesn't have to be good. Tell them what you told us. They sound loving, and its kind of a parents job to do that one way road - unconditional love. But they probably feel bad knowing they can't help in any way. And the problem probably transcends what they can do, but they still don't want to feel shut off. They'll be happy to even comfort you, even if that practically doesn't help your situation. It'll get better, but it'll only happen faster with the more work you put in. So figure out a way to overcome that inertia.

Says the guy without a degree....

Example of the power of degrees:

I work at a large university library. has the largest collections in my state. There are lots of positions, most of which are not being "librarians". Anyway.

A job for a mid level position came up. Two different guys were vying for it.

The first guy has worked here for 4 or 5 years as a member of the staff. This job would give him a 10k higher salary. He has an associate degree from a community college. He does good work at his job. He has lots of experience already since he's been working here for 4 or 5 years.

The second guy has been a temp for about a year. He just graduated with a 4 year degree from the university we all work for. He does as good of a job as the first guy, but he has far less experience working here because he's still new.

Guess who got the job?

In the same boat when it comes to studying and internship my friend, fucking the same boat, but try to turn it around, tell your parents what is actually going on, just start from the beginning with coding in a language and study it for each part like variables or if statements per day.
You probably have a low tone when you talk with your parents, try to be more energic, call them when you wake up everyday, just DO IT.
I also need to follow my own advice desu, what language are you studying? I am at C++ and will do Java next year, plan on studying it good during the summer so I have no more issues. We could keep in touch and help each other.

Yeah....I think that was at least part of management's incentive to promote the temp instead of the 1st guy. That was definitely a factor.

I probably should have explained some of the other context behind the situation, though. The 1st guy, the community college guy, has been at the same low-level position for years without ever being promoted. None of the positions at the library have anything to do with what you studied in school. The only person on staff who actually has a relevant degree (a masters in library science) is the head of the department who pulls just over six figures.

Besides the head, the rest of the staff positions are relatively low paying, and thus, there's a decent rate of turnover. Probably five or six positions within the circulation department alone open up every year. The first guy, despite applying for each new position, every time, has never been hired for any of the openings. Management always chooses someone with a 4 year degree.

It's also very rare at my job for temps to actually get a full time job, management would rather keep exploiting them for providing cheap labor with no benefits.

I realize my example is specific, and there are certainly other factors at play, but after working as a student assistant at this library for the last few years, I've really come to understand the power of having a traditional four year degree in the working world.

The only problem with being a robot in uni are group assignments. Not the ones where teachers assign you a group and you do it over Google docs. But having to choose a group. And ending up alone.

Use the group assignments which are utter shit as an opportunity to grow as a person, making you tougher when dealing with shit that you don't like.
Just don't give a fuck and say only stuff related to the subject, even if they go off and talk about random stuff, stay serious about your work.

At my uni you have to do at least 6 weeks of internship before your bachelor thesis. I can't believe there are people who won't do internships.

Was that a 2.2 from xxford with A*A*A* a-levels?
>>
>>27156230
They were so hard.
The few times i managed to get a partner we managed to do the assignments by working together but it was always hard as fuck to do alone and a fuckton of work for just one guy so i had to ask teachers for help very often.

>>27144428
Any UK people here?

Anyone been to/went too/goes to/know about Kent, Leicester, or Swansea?

That's where I have offers and I can't decide who to choose.
>>
>>27156311
nah, 2.2 from Exeter with A*AA a-levels

It's surprising how much mid/low-tier employers prioritise RG unis, even though half of them are pretty mediocre
>>
>>27156355
When I chosen mine(Reading) I just looked at the highest on the ranking table in my domain, from all the offers that I meet the condition to.

I visited Kent a few years ago. Looks like a genuinely nice place to study, it's on a big, green hill. The people were nice and unpretentious

I study at Kent.

Any Canadabros in grad school?

I took a course that was listed as both for grad and undergrads and ended up the only undergrad in it. The grads kept telling me how great it is to be doing a masters and that they get paid a decent amount. Is this true? And why were they acting so cult like? I thought they would start asking to read my thetans or something.

Yeah I've been to all the campuses and pretty much liked all of them.

I feel like Kent could become uninteresting after a while. Canterbury seems a bit dead.

>he fell for the uni/college meme
Great job retard, you just wasted a shitload of money. People neither care about your qualifications, nor are you getting a job with a uni degree now being the same as a highschool degree
You know what you need for a job?
socializing
looking good
being normal
You just wasted all of your tendiebux for fucking what. Poor poor NEETs.
>>
>>27156620
Well I don't go to uni in Leicester but I've lived there my whole life. However I've visited DMU and it seemed like a pretty good one to go to if that's the one you have an offer for. If it is then there's no reason you shouldn't come here if you liked the city when you visited. Cant say much for Leicester Uni though as I've never been.

Going to be leaving Leicester for Leeds for uni in September myself though so if there's anything anyone can tell me about that place feel free

If I go back to uni at 24 can I still bang (try to) 18 year olds?

>>27156656
>he fell for the 'you don't need a degree for a good job' meme

nigga please, that whole 'we're gonna scrap the degree requirements' is a fucking hoax.
firms like EY and Penguin are only doing this for shit-tier positions they can't fill, and because they're expanding on a massive scale.

The top positions will still required degrees. In fact, it's not sufficient now to have a bachelor's. Hell, now some finance post require the applicant to have a PhD
>>
>>27156498
I'll summarise a few things here:
>Campus is a building site at the moment but things should be finishing soon although knowing Kent something else will be knocked down and rebuilt
>Canterbury is expensive - in terms of both rent and going out prices
>Buses within Canterbury are good but it depends on where you live. If you live on campus or in town or in between its good otherwise you'll have a limited bus service
>Campus has 4 bars and a nightclub all are pretty good
>Transport by train is expensive - a return ticket to London on the fast train is something like 24 pounds - supposedly the most expensive train journey per mile in Europe
>The town as a whole is a student city this has its pros and cons

If you wanna know anything else let me know.

I'm 24 and i don't notice a big difference from the ones who started after high school, my age difference didn't matter when i was socializing. Of course i never had any sex but that's not because of my age.

If you're attractive and socially skilled it will be easy for you, even easier than if you were 19 yourself.

Nah I've applied for Leicester Uni, which is supposed to be the better one apparently so if DMU is good hopefully Leicester is good as well. Cheers.

And fair, I applied for Leeds and Manchester but got rejected from both based on predicted grades. I'm doing a gap year though so on the unlikely occasion that I smash my exams I'll probably reapply and try for Manchester because I absolutely loved the look of it when I visited it.

Why do people even bother applying for these low/mid-market regional unis? They have no potency in a country oversaturated with degree holders. Go study at Oxbridge or LSE/UCL/Imperial, or don't even bother
