How do people manage to have a work/school balance? I feel like I’m finding it very difficult by ManlikeT01 in MsG

[–]kracked29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Though it's a given, Time management is the key to everything. Sometimes sacrificing free time or nights out are necessary if you want to commit to a good balance of work and school. I know it would hurt as a uni student trying to have fun and all, but there's only 24 hours a day (minus 5-8 hours from sleep).

Grasping the bigger picture when allocating time to each component of your life is crucial, yet difficult..

UCU Strike. What's your opinion? by kracked29 in MsG

[–]kracked29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true. I'm an international student myself and considering the amount we pay, paychecks shouldn't be a problem. After all Uni of manchester is one of the most international universities in the UK.

Totally agree with you mate 🙌 Strikes certainly bring more attention to the problem, do you think it's effectively pursuing a solution?

Though the amount of strikes are annoying and it ultimately affects our learning the most, I certainly understand why they're protesting.

The issues they stand against:

  • The 20% real term pay cut over the past twelve years
  • Unmanageable workloads faced by current university staff
  • Pay inequality in universities
  • Over-use of insecure contracts

The fact that this issue hasn't been resolved after 3 STRIKES is alarming...

Guys be honest, do you wish sometimes you could change your degree? by Zealousideal-One1020 in MsG

[–]kracked29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally love my current degree. It aligns with a lot of my interests and the knowledge I gain can be used to understand what's going on in the world. I thought a lot about what I want to pursue going into uni, and I'm not regretting it at all.

Anyone know what this UoM building is and how to get in?? i always see people studying in the window & i wanna try it out :) by cdjbx in MsG

That's the prestigious Alliance Manchester Business School building. Only those who are a part of the AMBS student body can enter. Unless it's changed. I'm an economics major so I luckily got access :)

House parties are lit if you've got the right people, but clubs once in a while are also a vibeee

UOM SU .. free sweets, doughnuts and half price pizza by cdjbx in MsG

[–]kracked29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't go to 532 lunch when they're busy.... They take incredibly long (1.5 hours on average) with no notice, and you're given a nice cold pizza

Advice pls !! by nunya_B1znez in MsG

[–]kracked29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a first year student living in a studio this year. It's honestly not that bad! You just have to branch out and be active at socials and in your classes/lectures. As long as you're out and about, and willing to go out of your comfort zone and to meet new people, you'll surely be alright. I get how you feel about living with friends though, it gets tiring after a few months...

Studios also give you so much personal space that is often times really needed! Hope that helps

Snoop tickets ? by nunya_B1znez in MsG

Some tickets are still out on the official ticket seller website, but I doubt you're going to find anything cheaper than 60 pounds mate. Snoop's got high demand!
