Education fair helps students decide their future
Wednesday 6th March 2013, 4:00PM GMT.
UNIVERSITIES touted their courses and experiences to potential students at Guernsey’s higher education fair yesterday.
A total of 51 universities from all parts of the UK sent representatives to inform local students of what they had to offer.
Subject talks were held to provide an in-depth view of what each would entail and the students had the opportunity to ask questions of the universities.
Head of the Careers Service Sarah Stonebridge said that the event was about helping students to make informed choices about their future.

The event was very helpful indeed. The representatives were obliging and there was a plethora of prospectuses to read through. Several beliefs about the more highly regarded institutions were debunked yesterday, which means that I no longer fear that will be immediately rejected if I try to apply.

I have read your posts with a great deal of interest. Other than collecting your parents money, what good would we get from an education to you from a community you appear to despise.
My Guernsey wife wishes you the best, but me………………… I do as well.
To all Guernsey students, welcome and enjoy. I just wish there wasn’t the differential fees.

I wish all Guernsey students well in their chosen paths of further education – lots of them will have ‘offers’ depending on A level results, some may have to go through PICAS.
I really hope that some students, having got into Unis, experienced some life outside Guernsey, will come back and lend their growing intelligence to our comunity.

Stiletto,
I doubt Ed would survive more than 3 or 4 months of university life before he turned into a spaced-out, alcoholic, anti-establishment and long-haired layabout and lost his virginity to a 20stone, bow-legged maiden with a moustache. Still, if he did we would at keast get back somebody with a semblance of normality !

What ? Just shows how some people view others.
I would go to university for the right reasons- you can consign this ghastly version of ‘Ed’ to the dustbin as the real one would actually attend all the lectures, complete all the assignments and do extensive independent study.
I wouldn’t dream of going there to get blotto each night. I would consider myself to be quite in favour of the establishment.
