Lucia Went to University College London for both my BA and MA in Medieval Archaeology, then did my LLB (Law Degree) through the Open University. xxx

I wasn't clever enough to go to university so I became a Chartered Accountant instead.

Lunar - She's not a very good friend... in fact... I don't like her in the slightest! lol xxxx

I went to South Bank University. Its in Elephant and Castle, London. Don't let that put you off its a great Uni and still central London (Zone 1) I studied Hotel and Business Management. Had a fantastic 4 years there.

Hi Lucia What year will you be entering Uni - 2006 or 2007? If it's any help, my son is hoping to go in 2007 (he's in the Lower 6th/Year 12 here). He wants to study for a joint degree in Geography and History, with his main aim being to become a secondary Geography teacher. He's planning on doing a 3-year degree followed by a year's PGCE. We have been advised by his school to apply for prospectuses now and book for Open Days in the spring term. His four Unis in order of choice who do the degree he wants are: St Mary's College, Twickenham (part of Surrey Uni) Canterbury Worcester Chester Hope this helps, and good luck! Mandy :)

Hi Lucia, I went to Bangor Uni, North Wales, as a mature student, and gained my degree in Accounting and Finance. I loved every minute of it and still miss it 3 years later. Good luck! Kate x

Hey everyone, thank you for the advice. I have ordered some prospectuses so I'm starting to think about what uni I want to go to. Lucia :-)

Bec - what a great friend you are! taking such interest in your friends education! lol

Lunar - I have a friend at Greenwich.. can't remember what she's studying though! Lucia - I was provisionally accepted to Bournemouth where I was going to go and study PR... LUCKILY I didn't get in :0) love becx

City of London (was college in my day) London School of Economics

My lovely daughter is on a gap year (got a full time job) and going to Portsmouth to take accountancy in 2006.

6 years ago after being a rather mature student, I graduated from my local, King Alfred's - now called the University of Winchester. I went 'local' because my girls were still at school and I couldn't leave them!!! Actually it is also one of the best for the subjects I studied (religion and education) Colin Firths mum taught me Hinduism :0) maggie

I didn't. But my son is at Uni in Oxford.(2nd year).....Not the red brick one just the old Poly, Oxford Brookes :))) Apparently the red brick lot call Brookes the ELC (Early Learning Centre) lol He is studying Computer Science and the course is everything he hoped for. Make your selection of Uni on the basis of the course that offers you the best lead in to your chosen career. Good luck Chris

I studied History at Queen Mary College in Mile End, London; more recently, my daughter read History and Philosophy at Sheffield. Where are you thinking of going?

Hi Lucia I went to middlesex uni (polytechnic then). I studied psychology - loved it ! Kaz

Reading. I quite enjoyed the lecture too. Don't think I'll go back though. :o)

Lucia, I didn't. I went to a catering college in Shrewsbury. My husband went to Sheffield and Nottingham. He's a secondary school science teacher but wouldn't recommend teaching to anyone! Louise

I went to the Surrey Institute of Art & Design as a 'mature' student but didn't finish the course. My son also did a year-long diploma course there after A-levels, then went on to get his BA in Design & Modelmaking from (Wait for it!) The University of Hertfordshire. Incidentally, both my In-laws worked for many years at the Uni of Herts, when it was a Poly and once it took on delusions of grandeur and engulfed the town of Hatfield. >*|*<

I go to University of Leeds. The claim to fame for this one is it has the longest bar in the UK!!! Sue xx

er.... one in Cambridge.... *slinks off quietly*
