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.
University was the only time in my life that I had more than two or three active friends, at the same time. Discovering that I could live independently, and rather enjoyed doing so, was a major revelation. I did have problems, I had no idea that I was autistic, and I think that my poor executive function and stress before exams led to a lower degree class than I deserved, but, overall, I did enjoy the experience.
yes Martin I would like that too, but there is no need to do it in RL, you can do it online
See this is good. If you pick something you are interested in you will probably find like minded people.
Yes, guess what? Two were mathematicians, two electronic engineers, a computer scientist, a chemist and a lone historian. I could have logical and intelligent conversations with other people, it was wonderful. I still spent lots of time on my own, in my room, or in the library, but I enjoyed time spent with friends.
