  Intense but great fun. You’ll notice that most of us scientist liked it so much we never left. What’s it like in the real world?!

  I loved it: I still had a job 3 days a week when I did my psychology diploma and also when I did my psychology masters so I had to really manage my time to get everything done. But I thrive on pressure, and I really liked the challenge.

  Amazing. I’m still here studying because I love finding out new things. It was also great coming to university because everyone was keen about their subject and had to work really hard so you didn’t get picked on for being a ‘geek’ or ‘too keen’.
  
  It was also great fun – there are so many opportunities to so sports, music, drama and other stuff I hadn’t even heard of. You don’t get as many of those opportunities in the real world

  Obviously we all agree that university is great…thats why we are here 🙂
  
  An undergraduate life is looked upon as being some of the most fun, interesting and stressful times you can have. You meet new people from all over the world, you discover the wonderful world of late night kebab shops and seeing your neighbours going to class when you are still getting home.
  
  While at the same time you get to meet and speak with people who can inspire you, teach you and make you think about things in a whole new way.

  i’d agree with all the comments made by the other scientists, it’s great fun and can be really challenging if you push yourself! I’d recommend it to anyone who’s thinking about going!
