Advantages: Meeting new friends

Disadvantages: not worth the money

Well i have just finished my first year at Notts Trent uni and i have mixed feelings about the whole university life.

with me living at home i know im not experiencing the uni life in the halls and the night life but i only live about 45 mins away from the uni so i didn't see any point in getting myself in more debt living out there!

The things i have enjoyed about being at uni is that i have made friends from around the country and world! Which is great. I have also learnt bits of software i didnt know before such as 3D studio Max and Premiere.

On to the down side i really dont think its worth £3,175 of my money! per year!!!!! This is because i am only there 2 days a week which included 2 lectures and 1 seminar. Some days i dont see the point in going to lectures because i feel like i havent learnt anything and they are posted on the uni's website anyway!!!

I know that you go to uni to study the subjects you want to study but i think its too independent meaning the lecturers hardly teach you anything new and give you rough guide lines on what they want you too achieve which left many people in my first year confused as on what we should be doing. I feel like i learnt and achieved more at college than i did in my first year at uni.

I have also noticed that half of the people who were on my course have left due to the fact its nothing what they expected to be doing and that it is crap... basically.

I hope this next year will be better as i will be studying one particular pathway which i have chosen. But i still don't think it is worth the money.

Some people might think differently depending on what course they are doing and how often they are there.

Summary: Not for everyone
