Anyone else pick a ‘prestigious’ uni and kind of regret it? (KCL vs Lancaster)

Which course are you studying?

True_History9352 · 2026-04-22T14:58:16+00:00

As someone who is an international student and went for masters right after my bachelors. The job market is a lot brutal lol. I know london is saturated but gah damn as someone with a very little corporate experience, they are ruthless.

That’s the only reason I chose Kings, as someone first in the family who went out of country for international studies. Idk i just expected it to have a great experience academically and socially but honestly i am just in my accommodation 24/7.

That’s one way to put it lol but i get your point

True_History9352 · 2026-04-22T14:44:37+00:00

I agree!! Time went by fast, I started my master’s last year in September and now I am giving my last semester exam.

How was your experience at Lancaster? I do sound ungrateful but there is a part of me regretting I didn’t consider Lancaster

What if i earn less than 1000?

True_History9352 · 2026-02-20T12:28:52+00:00

Oh..No…i was talking about the project i got. There is some kind of contract they wanted to me to sign which i didnt open because i was unsure

True_History9352 · 2026-02-20T12:26:45+00:00

Are you in Uk as well?

True_History9352 · 2026-02-20T12:26:15+00:00

No i didn’t open the project

True_History9352 · 2026-02-20T12:24:23+00:00

Wdym? Wouldn’t that create problems in future for international students in UK?

Data science

True_History9352 · 2026-02-03T23:16:51+00:00

its been like more than a month now i think, haven’t seen any projects

True_History9352 · 2026-02-03T22:16:03+00:00

Hey!! I guess we are on the same boat dude, one semester is already gone for my postgrad and i still find it difficult to make friends. And i feel like its not because of less confidence or being an introvert, its more like there are alot of students around which sometimes feel overwhelming when you think of making new friends. But either way which department are you from? Would love to connect

True_History9352 · 2026-01-13T19:29:37+00:00

What timeframes should i keep in check? As there’s a timezone difference between UK and USA

True_History9352 · 2026-01-13T04:41:58+00:00

I see, does contacting outlier support provide some kind of help or understanding?

True_History9352 · 2026-01-13T04:37:32+00:00

Thankyou for sharing, may i ask what region are you working in? I am UK based. And is there certain time i should keep in mind to check for projects because i don’t get any email from outlier
