[HEADING=1]I AM GOING TO STUDY VIDEO GAME DESIGN AND NO ONE IS GOING TO STOP ME![/HEADING]

Actually I am doing games programming and have a few friends doing design. If you go to Stafford I hope you like graphics and 3D modelling. I think they give us programmers too much graphics work but it?s nothing compared to the people doing design.

Which state?
Never done it in my live, but I love games too much to care.

Stafford is a mix of modules that don't foxus on any particular area, which isn't very helpful at all. I go there too Plus he's in america, stafford is england. I don't think he'd want to come to stafford.

...everything? :S
I have no idea. Depends on what's offered.

Doing my Law degree at the moment. No idea how the finances will affect me long term, chances are I'll get the degree and never make use of it. Writing is my passion, but I think it's pretty useless to have a degree in such a thing.

How much does it cost to go to a university in the US?

 

[Setupdown]

I'm scottish. There's the nearby city of Inverness for me to attend the Uni (recently named a Uni) and get a degree. Don't have to leave home. Yes it may be abit said BUT I DON'T GET A DEBT OF 45 GRAND! HAH!

Profile location says London England.

You in halls at staffs? In Haughton and doing open day. Some of the questions are raelly stupid like "Dose the widescreen TV\Wardrobe come with the room?" (thats no and its fixed to the bloody wall for everyone else)

 

[Sam Warrior]

Im currently in my second year at uni, my parents are in that lovely government bracket of middle class so they dont have enough money to help me out at all and it means that I dont get a huge amount in loans/ grants. taking all this into account uni is one of the best things ive done with my life, the experience is fantastic the people are great and you get to learn some really interesting stuff. My advice would be that at 14 your to young really to worry about it, but if you want to do something worthwhile, in my opinion thats a science based subject or something which will get you employed somewhere you wouldnt be able to without a degree, then uni is most definately worth it. I'm currently doing a degree in biomedical science and loving it, but I'm planning on going to do graduate medicine afterwards which means the potential for another 10 years in education and you know what, I'm looking forward to it.

 

[Ranooth]

Already at uni (loving the course, not my dickhead flatmates) so this question doesn't apply to me!

HOWEVER! My girlfriend wanted to study Fashion Photography and/or Textiles at university (preferably London) but has decided against it now due to the rising costs.

Woot fellow Stafford students! First year Games Design is a mix i will admit but once you go second year it becomes very scripting heavy or modelling heavy depending on what you pick.

 

[Crudler]

You've missed a poll option: Maybe.
Because that's what it is for me, maybe.

When I finish my A-Levels this summer, I am going to attempt to join the Army as an Officer, if I don't pass selection this time round, I'll go to Uni and do the UOTC whilst I'm there.

When they had the placements presentation at the start of the year and said Staffard students were taking over the world (the head staff in some EU headquarters in Germany is entirely Stafford students ) I didn?t exactly believe them but I do now

My flatmates are great, guessing you are in halls. Do you know Carol?

Ah right I didn't notice that. Nah I'm a 3rd year, I don't envy anyone doing open days, but I would like to tell upcomming students about the university so that they know a bit about exactly how the games design course is that the lecturers won't tell them.

I think I need to post up a games module thread as I keep going offtopic, but there does seem to be a few stafford games students around these forums.

I'm 16 and soon going off to get a degree to become a games journalist, luckily i moved to Scotland 5 years ago so currently it's free but in 2 years time i'm sure that will have changed

 

[PatrickXD]

Dude, just get a student loan and then pay it off when you're making plenty of money to live on comfortably. A lot of people will never have to pay the full amount off in their entire lives based on this new system.

 

[thylasos]

Already here, thank god. But if I do my MA, I'm going to Canada, after saving up several grand and maybe getting a commonwealth grant.

 

[KLJT]

Surely

Stop listening to the people who say it's £9000 a year, it isn't. At the most, universities can charge £6000 and in exceptional cases it can go up to £9000 however universities can choose to charge the same amount they have been charging for the past few years. Even then, you only have to pay it back when you're making £21000 a year which means you can easily pay it off and live a decent life at the same time.

Student loans will allow you to go to university, don't worry about it. I'm 16 and I'm not worrying about it. Anyway, there is the chance that it will be reduced by another party in the coming years. Don't write off going to university with your friends because of money. If you want to do something then you can't let trivial things like money get in your way.

Sorry but you will still end up in debt and if you want to do something like become a scientist, games journalist (Like me) or just something like art or philosophy then you will unlikely ever be able to really pay off that debt without a serious impact on your standard of living. This system has been designed for accounts, lawyers and bankers in true Tory fashion

Well its just open my room up for people to look at and get paid £10 and £5 for the weekdays and weekends they are on... So I get paid for sitting her playing games all day when chances are I would not have been doing anything else anyway.
