Do they stand you in good stead today?
In other words, are they things you use
every day, or are they part of your general
background.
Or maybe you studied elsewhere .... like private classes in pottery or studied under a gardener ... or private language instruction... ?
What would you recommend to others?
Ta!

At Uni
- That I knew so little about my subject, History (this was not as I did not study! It was because that you only 'skimmed' over the surface of things and onto the next thing)
- Self Confidence (BIG TIME !!!).
- The importance of friends.
- Time management.
- Spelling & Grammar is my personal downfall.
- Don't worry about others (how well the are doing / seem to be doing) concentrate you what YOU are doing.
- You have to work hard (those people who did their essays the night before, missed lectures, copied notes of other - DID OVERALL NOT DO WELL)
- People will look on you differently when you mention that you have a degree.
- A degree, tends to 'open doors' for you.
As for recommending it to others - YES. If you are able and you are prepared to put in the work, its a must.

The most important thing I learned in college is patience and discipline. I learned that not everything will come naturally to me as I found high school to be almost overly easy. Not to mention just completing college with a degree, as far as for employers go, it is not about what you learned as much as it shows you can dedicate yourself to something and follow through on it.

Hi. I went to a grammar school in the 60s and the best things I learned were poetry, languages, and maths. The exams then were O levels and you had no books to take in with you to the exam. You memorised enormous amounts of stuff. I still have that mentality. Also, a respect for people who knew far more than i did. (Teachers). I am now a PhD and teach English, and my students call me 'Dr' - when they know as much as I do they can call me by my name!

In university, it is not just about higher education. it also about learning manners in the stage of your life. Research shows that people who graduate from uni has more respect than one who didn't

That the word 'itus' that is added on to certain parts of the body (eg tonsil) means 'inflamation of' that part of the body.
everything else went in one ear and out the other.
