Mez Bro or Sis?

Dave — Fri, 2 Dec 2005 - 01:56

Does everybody in this forum go to the sixth form college?!

What the hell is a sixth form college anyway

Sirus — Fri, 2 Dec 2005 - 01:59

lol...

when u finish school dave, thats at 16 years of age for us, after your GCSE's

you have an option to go a sixth form college, thats college for us - not ur type, its normally 2 years only and u can only be there 3 years max, and then straight to university from there

but there are ways around it, to get to university....or u can attend a simple college, open to all ages and offering more than academic courses

lol... how are you getting 9?

Yea the university system is a lot different due to the distinction we make between liberal arts colleges and the Universities.

They both provide bachelors degrees though - you can only get a masters degree or doctorate in a university program though.

Our education system is largely privatized.

Presently I am paying 45,000 USD a year for undergrad; that's considered on the high end most schools are about 30-40,000 but it's middling ground for Ivy league, which is a sports conference of schools which are generally older and have a good (and irritatingly liberal) reputation. Most schools - and the government offer need based scholarship for people who cannot afford it, State schools also cost less - usually somewhere in the region of 9-12000 because they are state funded.

Aside from government and school scholarship (not needed to be paid back, there are also grants and loans which must be paid back (over the course of several decades).

Scholarship from private organizations - and from schools come in 3 forms, need based, scholastic achievement awards, and sports awards.

The idea is schools want to entice intelligent people to their schools because they might publish something that would help the reputation of the school - or because of their sports skills because they will win trophies in major sporting events which also help the schools.

Basically all of this stuff exists because of how expensive higher education is here.

SeraphFor the new people of the boards, who want to knw a lil something about some of the existing members:

TheRevivalEditor-MrBig himself.. obviously the editor of the revival magazine, a very outspoke guy... once he starts ... he just wont stop (as people listening to the radio station will know)
Admin- The lazy-technical guy behind the revival website and forums... altho he seems to spend alot of time posting than anything else.
ThePhantomMod-When the weirdos of the forum strike they seem to only fear this mod. Not much is known about it him/her some say its Admin in disguise some think its BigBro from the old forums. Phantom will MODERATE your a$$ if your not careful.
NewModOnTheBlock-The Editorial teams answer to moderating the boards more rigouriously.
MuslimSister-A vetran of the revival forums, responsible for alot of the mind provocking topics and a well learned individual.
MuslimSisterslilsis-A revival forum addict if there ever was one, just look at her total post count! A very outspoken young girl, never afraid to speak her mind. Hates men, Altho she admits that shes a lil aggressive on the boards shes completely different in person.
Omrow-Another vetran of the boards, likes winding people up, seems to mention Qibla Cola alot for some reason. But will comeout with some good posts.
Irfan-active on this forum, has good constructive posts, keeps this forum alive and kicking .
Mujahid-Seems to have a very unhealthy obsession with women, which has led to many kick offs between him and the mods, resulting in 90% of his posts being deleted.
angel-A lil girl from the highlands of Scotland, likes Iron Bru other than thats shes completely crazy...in a good way.
Aasiyah- A neutral poster if there ever was one, but will keep the boards interesting... and shes a Harry Potter fan.
Constantine/Dave- Our american friend from the other side of the pond. A well educated individual... who for some unknown reason likes tigers ... alot. And a fellow Star Wars fan!
Darth_Hayder- v.funny guy, makes me laugh, and proves common sense does exist.
Med- A 19 year old brumi, university student who likes his cricket. A knowledgeable outspoken guy, however his views have clashed with MrEds resulting in a few entertaining standoffs. Good stuff.
Judda- Our resident weirdo, not much can be said about his views on Islam.
100- Another vetran of the boards, our jewish friend always has constructive posts with logical reasoning.

Pls forgive me if i haven't mentioned anyone... its late, im tired, theres too many of you anyway.

Oh and im Seraph... guardian of the Oracle... i can only show you the door in the end you must walk thru it. pls expect more confusing posts, and yoda gibberish from myself, other than that im a well behaved member.
