usually people enter into the 'well rounded' realm after their marriage began or after that football fantasy life didnt work out after college or after too many cheeseburgers late at night

You take four classes per semester. I took 5 or 6. That's the difference. Why are there extraneous classes? Because for some reason they feel it's necessary to create a more well rounded graduate who is literate. Should literature be something that people read on their own? Probably. Does it hurt to have engineering students take a class or two in it? No, not really.

I'm sure you can take electives every semester, right? Ours are simply more defined.
Being "well rounded" is the job of High School (Or middle school or whatever you call it in the US) years 7-10. After that you get to choose which direction your education takes.

As for extra electives. None, what I listed is what I did. My 2 "electives" were International Financial Management & Nonlinear Methods in Quantitative Management.
Shrug. I don't make the rules. Is it completely redundant that i have to retake courses that I took in high school? Yes. But you'd be amazed at the number of students coming out of high school unable to form coherent sentences. If those deficient students then graduated from college it would be a poor reflection on the school. That's their reasoning. All school districts are not created equal in America and our universities have to make up for that, as sad as that is.

haha, no way. i didn't flunk last year, in fact. i've progressed through the undergrad course like anyone else.

plus with the tuition fees tripling, i don't think my parents would like the principle of me hanging around for a lady

our ceremony is aroundabout then but for all purposes most of our work-load is done by the beginning of the summer term

final essay hand-ins, dissertation submitting, course-timetables finishing etc.

the only thing we have to do in the late-summer are the final exams themselves. and i only have like 1-2 because my modules are essay assessed, mainly.

SO, YAH. im outta here soon!

yah man i made a thread about it in D&ST. big uk political fuck-a-roo. students getting shafted on a sham-promise.

one of my best friends was actually one of the people that got arrested for being on the conservative HQ roof... didn't realize until the other day, he's pretty embarrassed about it. not good to have been arrested at such a publicised event. the people that got on the roof were portrayed as the 'hardline', 'hardcore anarchists' or something... my friend was just up there out of curiosity. haha. they ended up arresting like 200 of them.

tl;dr: fuck tuition fee policy

it seems weird that nowadays there are still musical-cultural barriers between uk/europe/usa

you'd think in an internet era where everything is accessible that location-specific tastes/trends would fade away

suppose it's an exposure thing
