I have decided to stay at uni for the moment. I spoke to my tutor for about an hour on thursday and he has give me some advice, which I have took on and nearly done my essay. I just need to shove another 400 words in tomorrow and it will be done
Cheers for the advice everyone

Well done. Don't forget to talk to others on the course. You'll all be feeling vulnerable at the moment so soon into the course.
Don't forget the marking system used. If you get the referencing at the end spot on you get 10% straight away. If it is the Harvard system (check some unis are different) this 'ready reckoner' will help produce references.

Good luck.

im doing history ... at !!!!!!! manchester lol ... the people at man met are more fun though !!!
I want to attend Man Met next year. just completed my Personal Statement and here it is:
I have always had a great passion for computing in general, as a child I remember being amazed when my primary school first installed computers, I was astounded by the intelligence of such a machine that I had never came across before I have been amazed at the progress of new technology and I believe this has enhanced my studies throughout my school days. ; Finding out how businesses were using computers to make their company more efficient was enthralling to me. I have been fascinated by how far businesses and computing has come in such a short space of time. I want to be a part of the future of business and computing and I feel that this course could provide me with the education I need to follow my aspirations. It would also allow me to get a wider and broader knowledge of business in computing. My career aims are to work as hard as possible to become a successful and accomplished businessman.
My current course (BTEC National Diploma in Computing) has allowed me to develop my skills in problem solving, research, analysis and programming to name a few. Throughout my studies I also had to work in teams with other students on a range of projects, but also work individually this provided me with tasks where I had to research and make advanced calculations as well as presentations in front of my fellow students. These activities have helped me to develop my communication skills and strengthened my ability to work with people. I am particularly looking forward to my first year while at university because I will be able to look at how to develop skills in using and building IT applications and applying them in supporting business functions which is part of the module. I am excited to do this because it is something I have never experienced before and I feel it is another reason why I want to be apart of the course.
In my spare time I work part time in a local supermarket which has helped me to develop my skills of dealing with people, categorising and displaying stock and working with others as a team.
At school I was awarded the JSLA (Junior Sports Leader Award) which was voluntary work and provided sports activities for younger children in the community. In my younger years I represented Tameside Borough Council at table tennis for over 2 years where I took part in many tournaments against different councils in England. I also like to watch my local football team where I have been a committed supporter for over 8 years. I am a keen sportsman participating in football, squash, snooker and going to the gym. I enjoy going out, socialising with different people and find it easy to make friends. I am an active, self motivated and enthusiastic student who is keen to take up the challenge of further education.
In conclusion I would like to reiterate my desire to join the degree course and feel confident in my ability to pursue any studies at a higher level.
Thoughts please.

If that was a cut and paste don't send it until you've corrected the two glaring grammatical errors!
After school days what's with .;
and in
if you had to work then at the end it should be worked not work to make what follows correct.
Also
Are you only applying to one university? If the module is their module fine, but it will piss off any other university you are applying to if they don't have such a module.
Finally you've got another 15 lines available. Don't waste them!

I never said i was an expert in anything but i just think going to uni just with a remit to have a good time is the wrong option to take.. You're also there to learn...
Thats not to say i didn't get absolutely plastered every week btw...
I always wanted to be a quantity surveyor. I love double handled temporary spoil heaps.

thanks for the advice it is greatly appreciated i have sorted out those errors and adding extra lines as well. In regards to your question about choices i have only applied to Man Met so i fought i would put what some of the modules contain to show i have an idea of what the course is about. I was thinking about going huddersfield but it seems like a pain in the arse travelling there everyday. Plus it would allow me to keep my seasoncard :)

I wouldn't rule out Huddersfield Yarny. My mate goes huddersfield and its only a 20 minute train ride from Stalybridge.

Yeah thats not too bad actually, but i hear the place is a bit of a shit hole surronding the Uni. plus the course at Man Met seems a lot better its a sandwich course and companies "Microsoft and IBM" amongst others take part in a work placement scheme.
