    Wishing you all the success! Your friend is right about the exam schedule it helps immensely. I'm graduating this year and at my uni, I had to hand in my dissertation before Easter break and then had all of that break to study for final exams. I had three exams and a presentation spaced out over the exam period.

      @@Streetorvintage They can't move the Easter break because they can't change the date of Easter. It's a major religious festival, and the date changes each year (like Ramadan). So the break is at a slightly different time each year, and the University has no control.

    • @nearestyoutube
      @nearestyoutube Před 4 měsíci

      @@unipitytedya2945 Hiya. My advice would be research it. So for example Tesco is the closest supermarket to Surrey campus and you could go online and compare it's prices versus whatever supermarket is close to where you might live for Southampton.
      Next is accommodation. At Surrey you could probably get away with first year and final year in halls but you can look at their accommodation price ranges per banding in halls.
      You can then compare against Southampton's Halls of residence.
      Next you can look at student accommodation sites for renting private properties which is what you likely will do from 2nd year and compare Guildford (Surrey) Vs Southampton.
      My friend went to Southampton (Solent). Nice area.
      It's true some parts of UK are more expensive on terms of renting but supermarket prices including Aldi/Lidl are probably the same wherever (except London of course)

    I enjoyed watching your video since Surrey just wrote to me as an Alumni for a donation and linked it to their email. In my day (1991 in take) we had just got email at the university computer lab, and I didn't know what to do with it since I didn't know anyone else with an email address other than my class mates who I saw each day. In those days it seemed crazy to send people messages when you could just talk to them in class. We had alphabetically ordered Pidgeon holes in the faculty where we exchanges written messages with staff and each other if we really needed to. I used the internet to help research my dissertation in my 4th year and I was probably the only one on my course doing so, since there was not much on the internet then except some museums and newspaper websites. As my topic was on the forthcoming Russian election, I could use the online newspapers for latest news, which had just started to become a thing. As for support it wasn't great but it was okay. I liked my Professor and the quality of teaching was generally very good. I shopped at the big Tescos which was brand new. I didn't go out much due to the lack of money and the heavy academic schedule which I found demanding. I can't remember how much tickets were at the graduation ceremony but I remember money was always tight.
