@doskel you know what right after i said this i remembered that my university gave us 150GBP to spend on their online store, and i ended up getting a battery for my shit camera and a raspberry pi 4 4GB ðŸ˜
@doskel i dont think i used any textbooks for my course lol, a lot of my modules were actually based on certs funny enough (like my networking was just Cisco CCNA) but we got free access to papers and stuff via the university, i feel that's a given though. nobody is expecting students to pay for stuff to cite when they're doing their dissertation ðŸ˜
@autumn we have a few textbooks and online program bullshit things most of the books i can just pirate but this year i had to actually buy everything which is fucked up
@doskel i mean i didn't go to the most prestigious university, but i've got friends in top 10 unis that haven't had to deal with any of this, that's fucked
@doskel it's 9k per year flat for ANY university, you can apply for maintenance loan (you get a different amount based on your income + whether you're at uni in London because its expensive lol) and all that's forgiven after 30 years of graduating
i know that oxford and cambridge are really horrible in terms of they'll kick you out for having a job for "not dedicating all your time to studying" but my friend went to University of Bath which was 8th best at the time and she still had a job during that course too
