Birkbeck College

Anybody here either studied there, or currently doing so?

I'm beginning a course in October so I'm interested in any thoughts/experiences of combining work and study, and on Birkbeck life in general.

I'm studying for an MA in the evening, and it seems alright to me. Not around in the day, but there are plenty of people milling around, so probably a decent community.

Main tip: the coffee in the little stationery shop downstairs is about a third the price of that in Costa, and seems to taste better too.

thinking about making an application here too. does anyone know what time the evening lessons tend to start?

sorry - Seak, you should know!

Doing a Bsc in Biodiversity & Conservation, 6-9pm two nights a week. I also work about 40-50 hours a week as a bar supervisor. The two can clash at times but mostly I manage...
A fair few bike thieving scrotes about, make sure you have two decent locks and secure your seat/post/etc

I reckon they start about 7. Makes for a long day, couple of hours in a lecture, with work beforehand. But it's only a couple of evenings a week, so hopefully manageable. Good heads-up on the coffee Seak

Gona resurrect this for a sec. Does anyone here go to Birkbeck college?

I'm going back for the third and final year of my degree in Oct. I was meant to finish last year, but i ended up deferring. Basically all my mates have graduated and left and i will be back at knowing no one. So if any of you cycling chums go there and fancy a friendly chat/ fag/ coffee/ cycle/ hitting the books/ or by some kind of miracle you're on my course (Philosophy BA) please let me know. It would be cool to make friends in my old age.

Cheers.
