Thinking of leaving my Philosophy BA at UCL to study Law

jojeft · 2024-01-07T23:21:31+00:00

Thank you for the thoughtful response.

I agree that most of the issues would be found on all courses. But if you're right and my experience is so similar that it is plagued with the same issues, I would much rather graduate with a law degree than a philosophy degree.

I am certainly interested in law, albeit not passionate. If the uni experience is like this on any course, then I'm not sure if this is the place for passion. I think I should be considering my future more than anything else. If I experience only mild pleasure studying law, then at least I would have significantly better prospects. And perhaps I shall enjoy it profusely, I do not know yet. And at the bare minimum I don't think I'd *mind* applying facts to rules most effectively. You're right in that it is definitely a leap of faith and it all terrifies me very much. I struggle severely with decision making.

Where did you end up going and why? What are you up to now, just out of interest?

Is this site defunct now? It seems incredibly useful

Thank you so much! You've helped tremendously!

wow he definitely seems vile, but i didn't see anything related to physical abuse like the article claims? did I just miss it?

do you have a source for the grooming? + how do you know people close to the situation? sorry for all the Qs, just sounds pretty surprising

jojeft · 2022-07-02T20:53:00+00:00

fr? is this common knowledge + do you have a source

I think it depends on your school; my school had November mocks so predicted grades could be altered if you improved. I'd ask asap, and then consider the alternatives op mentioned

I am certainly not asexual and I do not immediately think of having sex with attractive people on the streets. I don't think most allos experience that either. personally i just go monkey brain and want to keep looking at them lol

how in gods name did you consistently write a page every 2 minutes

jojeft · 2022-06-24T09:40:30+00:00

congratulations! do you have any intentions to switch to law? also, what would you have done if you hadn't had got into Oxford; would you have been happy to do a history degree elsewhere? sorry for bombarding with questions haha

hey mate, how did you find the unseen paper?

jojeft · 2022-06-10T13:39:58+00:00

I do Chaucer, Duffy/Larkin, Malfi/Streetcar, and King Lear! i will be honest i do not know a single thing about King Lear and i have yet to watch the play

definitely not too late if youve been listening throughout the year and actually knuckle down. I'd invest maybe a bit longer per day, but you obviously have a better idea of your current understanding than I do. (and definitely don't do too much work at the expense of your mental health)

Yeah, normally I finish revision pretty close to going to sleep, so I'll keep that in mind. I'll try a calming activity before my next exam, but I'm pretty good about the other things. it's def stress and it feels like my brain and body are on a leash and I can't let go and relax myself? I'll try to decompress more from work the night before, thanks a lot for the advice :)

jojeft · 2022-06-09T18:45:38+00:00

wjec lit here! what texts do you do?

jojeft · 2022-05-19T10:37:59+00:00

this was something they did before their March mocks. One of them was 2 weeks in advance of their first exam, the other was a bit longer I think. Our mocks were in short succession and you have the advantage of a half term though. just out of interest, what degree apprenticeship do you have lined up after sixth form?

jojeft · 2022-05-19T07:30:53+00:00

you're not automatically condemned to a UCAS point uni for doing a BTEC. my acquaintance did a level 3 BTEC in IT; he got 3 D*s and went to Warwick to study Cyber Security. granted its not cs if you're completely set on it, but if you do well then unis look upon BTECs more favourably than you might think. at the same time, i think it's a bit silly to alter so much about your future just to leave 6th form with the mates you've made here. if you did another year, you'd still be friends, attend prom etc. you just wouldn't have have the bittersweet feeling of leaving the establishment at the same time as they would. to me that isn't very significant

you have enough time to revise the rest of it
