| Re: Why is caley crap (Listening to the Caley Anthem!!) What is this cunts problem,
Even if what he says is true then what is his point.
Ok so your cleverer than a whole university put together.
right......
I go to calley, I chose to go to calley, your some insecure prick who chose to do something different than me. Shit, u better start raving on about how much better u are than me, cos what else would u do with ure life, what else?
Even if Glasgow uni is better and even if u are better than every1 else on this forum then I still don't understand what your point is.
Lifes one big race and u have just won it man, congratulations, gold medal. The rest of us have should just be executed on the spot.
would you go in2 a school4 the handycapped an start screamin glasgow uni is better than it? (I realise that u cood say somethin really clever right now like "calley students are handycapped," actually that would be really funny, go4 it)
I could argue back that calley is great, but why would I want to, I really don't get this guys problem, I also relise that this isn't gramatically correct and that a go between adresing this cunt personally and for example now typing about him, but I'm sure the message is getting across kinda.
why can't stevie wonder read?
cos he's a calley student and at calley they dont teach u how2 read, an they are really dumb an u dont need 2 be able 2 read 2 get in, I'm so great wow ha wow i'm amazing every1 else isn't.
Thats what I'd b saying right now if I chose 2 go 2 a different uni. |

| Re: Why is caley crap (Listening to the Caley Anthem!!) The way I see it, the intellectual standard of Caley IS lower than Glasgow or Strathclyde - this isnt a dig, its a fact, backed up by things like entrance requirements and degree accreditations. However, I dont think this is some failing on Caley's part. As Mulac so accurately pointed out on the previous page, Caley is forced into a lower standard by the current attitude to higher education and financial contraints. So Caley is not trying to reach the same standard as Glasgow and Strathclyde and failing, it is in fact aiming a bit lower and doing a good job of it. In my opinion, Caley would be better off aiming solely a niche courses the traditional uni's wont do, but are being forced into offering conventional courses at lower standards in order to fill up the quotas of bodies the Government demands. It's a sorry state of affairs in general - the Government have this new idea that everyone can go to uni if they just lower the standards a little, without realising that this damages the entire education spectrum as a knockon effect. It would be better to bring back the huge grants for all students and raise the entrance grades back up, so that wealth is not an issue but ability is - surely thats the way a Uni should be working? Convincing every citizen that Uni is a Good Thing is plain wrong, and the effect is that Uni's like Caley are forced into accepting muppets into diddy courses to get the numbers up, giving ignorant observers the impression that the entire Uni is shite. The real brunt of rants of this nature should be aimed at the string-pullers forcing Caley into this situation, not the Uni itself which is only doing what it needs to survive.

| Re: Why is caley crap (Listening to the Caley Anthem!!) PapaXMachina lectures at Caley, BruvXMachina got his first degree there (and went straight into a £18K/yr job after graduating) and thanks to a UCAS clerical calamity I was going there until a week before uni. Can't be that bad.
I seem to remember a sizable of Strathclyde's sociology dept fucking off to Caley a few years back so Caley must be doing something right.
