Is uni going to be worth the money?

Yeah I know, Im Geordie born-n-bred lol
Come to Northumbria!!! I'll show you around the toon :D

I applied for Northumbria months and months ago, for 2008 entry, and still havent heard about my interview yet; tends to be around April / May time from what I can remember

[ianm]

yes, you are huh :D where abouts you from then, i only know gosforth a little bit with my dad living there and apart from the city centre, not much more :D

[blueocto]

I was living in Fenham just up from St James Park (west end) up until Dec, and Ive now moved to Wallsend (near the coast).
I went to school in Gosforth :P

[ianm]

fenham a bit of a bad area i hear, can't remember the last time i went to wallsend :)

[blueocto]

Fenham? Nope not really bad, its Scotswood and Benwell on the otherside of the West Road thats rough!! Its just mini-India now Fenham like.

So where are you from? *spamming the post lol*

[ianm]

Heh, thanks :D. I'm still in two minds though...

Not really worth the expense now a days. Web work changes so fast your first year will be out of date by the time you finish your 2nd.

Good point Toon.

I think its good to have it, if you've got it, as I suppose it does look good on the 'ole CV and you can learn things from experienced staff that you possibly wouldnt' have learnt on your own. Also the experience of meeting people who share the same interest is good fun also. The downside I would say, is the loss of money (from not working), the long hours (with Uni and working at the same time) and alot of the subjects your pretty much expected to get25 on and learn stuff on your own.
