Claire, May 2008Overall score

There are different clubs for all different schools.
Job prospects
I am going onto to do an MSC as I don't think having a degree is enough to get a good, well paid job.

Alice, December 2008Overall score
I am very happy where I am currently. It is important academically to be organised, but also to explore your interests. University is a great opportunity to develop skills, such as languages, sport, chairing and organising, charity work, artistic skills, political involvement, counselling... Try anything that interests you, focus is important but so is experience in developing your abilities and perspective. Don't feel your university experience should conform to any model- it isn't a popularity contest, it is your time and your money to spend 3 years taking advantage of all the intellectual and personal opportunities available.
Study experience
Don't hesitate to change options or course is possible, you haven't failed, but 17 is very young to choose the occupation of the next 3 years of your life (and potentially your career). It is more the fault of the university for offering too narrow a focus. Attending lectures is a good way to take into an overview quickly- it's not enough alone, but useful to start from.
Facilities
Colleges and their facilities vary, but all are basically very good.
Postgraduate life
I think there's a society for almost everything. I learn languages, dance and do various sports, and I enjoy writing and working with development and charity-related groups in the university.
Job prospects
I'm already on a postgraduate course and would like to continue studying. My course isn't very vocational, but it is a good training in research, writing and analytic skills.
