University of Bristol in 1982-88 in chemistry studies for a BSc and a PhD. It’s much more serious in the present. The students had to be very hard at work and I was enjoying being involved in numerous other activities, including music, sports, as well as Christian groups. I took a history course in 1973-76 before becoming solicitor.
Bristol was a wonderful area to be a student. I picked for the University of Exeter pretty much on the spur of the moment. I learned a lot at university: excellent qualifications as well as friends from various places with different backgrounds and cultures, broad perspective on the world- and the love of my life, a wife. It sounded like a good university essay, but I’d not been there prior to arriving with my car at the beginning of the term.
My daughter is finishing her term studying at Oxford and is studying English while my son has been currently completing A-levels, and hopes to go to the subject of chemistry. It’s been quite different with our children. They’re under more pressure than I was as we put in the effort but we were more worried. We’ve searched across the country to find countless open days.

The duration was brief with only eight weeks and, even though I took the labs that were required I was primarily focused on being a rower. I picked for the University of Exeter pretty much on the spur of the moment. It was possible to do that in the latter half of the 70s since there was no continuous assessment. It sounded like a good university, but I’d not been there prior to arriving with my car at the beginning of the term. My oldest son is graduating having an engineer’s degree at Birmingham as well as my younger son son is close to completing his engineering degree at Durham. It’s been quite different with our children. My child is currently studying sciences at Edinburgh.
We’ve searched across the country to find countless open days. They’re more consistent because they are examining them more often, and the grades are a part of the final grade. There’s more choice, and this puts more the pressure for them to take the appropriate decisions.
Other than the financial side they’ll graduate with more debt than I did, the university experience appears to be exactly the same.

The duration was brief with only eight weeks and, even though I took the labs that were required I was primarily focused on being a rower.
It’s an easy path to independence. It was possible to do that in the latter half of the 70s since there was no continuous assessment. Students have to leave their homes and look after themselves in a safe setting. My oldest son is graduating having an engineer’s degree at Birmingham as well as my younger son son is close to completing his engineering degree at Durham. What’s unique is the money aspect.
My child is currently studying sciences at Edinburgh. I was in full-time grant status and believed that I was rich and I spent money on items I was unable to afford prior including designer sneakers and chocolate. They’re more consistent because they are examining them more often, and the grades are a part of the final grade. I returned home in the summer, and was offered work or claimed benefits.
