and give your reasons why. i am in my final year at uni and i cannot wait to finish. although my academic progress has been a mixture of ups & downs. school was hell- i got bullied at high school but i made a few friends back at primary school, the only subject i enjoyed doing was art and i eventually did my GCSEs. unfortunately, i left school without any qualifications; afterwards i spent a few years at college- which during that period i completed a study skills course at 19, obtained GCSE grades d and c in english, completed an access course in media studies at 22, spent a year at university only to transfer to a different uni the following year because things didn't work out, studied media and journalism & hopefully, i am coming to the end of my course & expected to graduate at 26. its been a long hard struggle, personal problems inc. depression and all, it took me 10 years. yes i've spent so much time studying, but alas, its been enjoyable and i met some great people along the way

as to how i will feel by the summer of next year, well its going to be a mixture of happiness and sadness. happiness being i will (hopefully) finish my education in june/july but sadness as well seeing as i've been studying for so long. the fact that i have got used to it and enjoyed it so much, i will become very emotional about it during the graduation ceremony. you know what it's like when you've done something for a long time and the feeling of sadness that it is ending. but alas, we have to move on with our lives and the next step is making a successful transition from uni to work

wow you sound like you had a hard time, but it's good you've stuck at it, and are about to finish qulified! I hated school, in year 11, i couldn't wait for the year to finish, i just wanted to leave. I wasn't being bullied or anything and i had a fair few friends, but i just couldn't stand being there, i thought being at college would be so much better. It would be less restrictive, i'd have more freedom, and i'd just enjoy myself more. But i didn't... i hated that too, and for the second year when i did my A Level's i just couldn't bring myself to turn up, so i ended up missing over half the year in total. I just disliked being there. I found the lessons just bored me, i really didn't like the people in my class, the only thing i did enjoy were lunchtimes when i met up with my friends, but even this wasn't enough to motivate me to go, so college didn't turn out that well! I got good results and everything, but i'd just expected it to be a lot better than it was. Now i'm studying social science, in my first year, and although it's not bad, i'm still missing a fair few lessons. But at least here i put in work at home. I do well on assignments and essays so i enjoy it to a degree, but i still wouldn't say i like it! But out of the three stages, i definatley prefer it at uni, i only go 2 days a week, and i have the rest of my time to myself, i think that might have been partly why i didn't enjoy school or college, btu find uni tolerable!

honestly college, even with the actuality that i did not flow very lengthy. You felt so self sustaining there, the instructions were more beneficial (now to not tutor the college). This "clique" and attractiveness element would not exist there. you experience very loose and mature. I loved it wayyyyyy more beneficial than severe college. In severe college, I wasn't one which needed to loaf round in crowds and that i felt fairly out of position. I went for somewhat to varsity in the previous college. I loved college wayyyyyyy extra because it replaced into more beneficial and also you felt extra self sustaining. concepts you, the faculty has gotten more beneficial over the years yet I nevertheless imagine i ought to like the college ecosystem extra valuable.

definitely university - i graduated at 24. school became difficult and bouts of bullying too. i wasn't mature enough for college. uni gave me the freedom in my learning to be able to choose the areas that i was interested in. plus i was old enough to actually work properly cos i knew how lucky i was. add to that great people that had similar interests and uni wins hands down!

Congratulations on finally finishing.
But is there a question there? If so, it doesn't make sense to Americans -- because in the States, there is no real difference between going to college or going to a university.

Congratulations!!!!!
I loved going to school. You will surely miss it when you are already
working facing the world at a different perspective.
I wish you all the luck and may you be very successful in your chosen field.
