Just curious, it makes little difference if you have or not but I am curious as to if anyone on PON has been to uni?

[magpiejue]

Not me.

No, I briefly went to college, but the tutor wouldn't turn up and eventually I decided just to focus on working. I am considering doing some night or online courses in web development, maybe media, but I haven't been to university.

I almost did, however I couldn't afford the fees and in hindsight I have had a better career due to the opportunity of training within work.

[KingMaynard]

I might do once I finish school, its between college or uni.

[cheeky~k8]

I didn't go to uni but i did go to college. College fees were funded by the government where as uni fees wouldnt have been. I do wish i could go back and complete the last course in college but its no longer funded as i'm over 25 so i cant.

[liampie]

no, i went straight to work. been in employment since i was 16.

[upthepies]

Yes, a long time ago now I am afraid.

[BigBill]

Back in my day I wouldn't have been allowed or expected to go, thankfully things have changed but I was more like my father. Learn from working and do well as you can with that.

[Magic magpie]

No I’ve not been to uni I did go to college to study catering and teaching.

I'm only secondary atm

I went to Coventry University and got a bachelor's in German and International Relations. Loved the place and the course (sadly the faculty is no more) and it certainly improved my employment prospects. In contrast to some unis it was a very down-to-earth place too. Was in work for a few years beforehand and it was going nowhere so it was a good move for me.

Mine was the first generation of my family to go to uni - I come from a mining family so don't ever think it's not for you. If you have the chance and an idea of what you want to do, get yourself qualified.

[allardyces tash]

No, I didn't go to University. I went straight into the rat race and have been there ever since.

[lambleypie]

No, me neither but I would have thought more members would have done.

[batonncfc]

No, I never saw the point in attending university.

[B&Wstripes]

No, I haven't. With the amount of debt attached to attending and the struggles to gain employment I think working is the best route into it. Training is especially easier with the right company.

[SmithyPie]

No, me neither. I haven't been attracted to it. I did go to college for three years though.

[Blake]

I do want to go to Uni, I will be going college once I finish school but I do believe education is the best way forward in life.

[CliftonMagpie]

No, I sometimes wished I did but I doubt I could afford it.

[Super_Danny_Allsopp]

I am currently studying with the OU part-time as I work full-time.

I'm 2/3rds the way through, so just about to start the final year (which being part-time will take me 2 years). 

[Magic magpie]

i would one day like to go and finish my teaching off.
