"I Woke up, saw I didn’t get into Durham but got into Loughborough and then honestly didn’t give a fuck about my results. I was just glad I wasn’t doing clearing.

How did you get on? Which Universities are rubbish ? " I went to Uni in another country in the late 80s so my comment isn't really relevant. Some see former polytechnics as "rubbish" here but they actually often have better facilities/teaching/support than traditional ones. | |||

"I got 2 B’s and a D, which back in ‘81 wasn’t bad and got me my place at dental school in Newcastle, which I hated and ended up swapping to Manchester after a year to do biology instead. Solid choice. Can't picture you as a dentist!" Really? ‘Open big and wide now please!’ | |||

"Did anyone in the CSE {pre GCSE} system ever get the opportunity to go to a University, I doubt it was considered a qualification worthy of acceptance, I doubt we even new of the existence of UNI's " My mother went as a mature student but she had a mix of O levels and CSEs. Her CSE Maths meant she had to take maths in addition to her degree. | |||

"Flunked them badly, but worked my arse off and got a PhD in a Russell group uni. So it all worked out in the end. It really did! How did you find doing a PhD? I might just private message you depending on response. The best worst thing ever. It's amazing and really good for brains like mine. It's tough because it can be overwhelming.
