What subject are you doing?
Computer Science. Kind of a hard subject to talk about.
Well I'm doing maths at uni, when I first applied to do maths, I was in the same position. I didn't know where I wanted to take it, but I wanted to do it.
I really enjoyed maths at a level, the easy stuff was boring, it was the hard stuff that I enjoyed, that's one reason for doing maths at uni, I know I'm going to like it, I'm motivated to do it, and I want to do well at it.
It's not the generic "I'm doing business/economics/whatever so I can get a high paying job but all I'm going to do throughout uni is complain about how I don't like my course." I'm choosing to do maths because I genuinely enjoy it.
Second maths is used fucking everywhere, I'm not limiting myself to any one specific job.
Same thing applies to computer science. Computers literally run the developed world at the moment, if you can computers, you can probably get a job.
I had another idea but I've forgotten it, I'll add some more if I think of them.
Also, I did computational mathematics last year, and I'm doing numerical analysis. Creating procedures and algorithms to perform specific tasks or solve mathematical problems is really fucking fun with computers and mathematical software, and especially rewarding if you can do the harder stuff. That also contributes to problem solving skills, etc...
Yeah, that last part is kind of similar to something I mentioned in my personal statement about Decision Mathematics. I guess it's the algorithmic approach to solving things that I like.

Do you do any coding outside of school, trying to create games, Java shit, that sorta thing. Talk about that.
I dreaded interviews, but thankfully none asked for them. What Uni's are asking for them? I only know Bristol and Ox-Bridge do.
I've been using Codeacademy to learn Java (course froze though) and Python. The closest other thing that I do is using the scripting language in GameMaker. Surrey's invited me to a visit day which includes a 1to1 session and potentially a formal interview. Southampton's visit day includes an informal interview. Bristol has a group tutorial session, as they feel that it's more suitable for such a course than an interview. And then you have Bath who gave me an offer within a week without me having to do any of this. And Kings College who haven't said anything yet.

okay so I know you guys are all really good at social interaction so you're the perfect people to ask for this. i've been invited to several visit days to the universities i've applied for and they've all got some sort of group tutorial/informal interview thing that i'll have to do. problem is, i can't actually give a straight reason why i want to do my subject i just really want to do it. have any of you guys had any similar experiences and do you have any wisdom to share?

I'm buying it.
Should be fun to play when my bros come over.
But my Xbox use will be 90% Halo and 5% COD / 5% NBA
Check out Mr Dudebro gamer over here.
I only play the finest games.

So I've been invited to this Halloween party which is fancy dress, and I don't usually go to parties or dress up at Halloween. So I'm having a hard time deciding. Anyone got any ideas?
