Uni experiences?

Hiya,

What is everyone's experience with Uni? Would you do it again? What were the best and worst parts?

  • I enjoyed university, I have to admit that I enjoyed the social side more than the work. In retrospect I, did the wrong degree, but at eighteen what did I know about university courses? I stuck it out and finished, and the part of the degree that interested me most led to a career in biomedical research that lasted for 34 years. I went to university with no clear idea of what I wanted to do as a job, only that I did not want to teach or do accountancy or anything else to do with money.

  • the social side is what is putting me off, and the debt. 

  • It was the worst part of my whole experience, piggy. You were forced into socialising with complete strangers. Even in lectures, you were constantly being forced into small groups or pairs with people, and then swapped from group to group. They thought they were using clever teaching strategies, but for most autistics being constantly moved from group to group with new people is the worst thing possible for someone with ASD.
