Not true. UMIST was founded in 1824 as the "Manchester Municipal Technical School", and then VUM was founded. We joined, we split and then, alas we rejoined again VUM has properly ruined our maths course. Now people only do 3 modules a semester, and have loads of workshops. Guh. Since when has maths involved workshops? Sodding typical. I'm glad I'm at UMIST and not VUM.

oh dear, you seem to be making your girlfriend sound vitriolic about people she doesn't know:P For your information, I know they're both bad lecturers, but let's look at it this way; UMIST's rankings in league tables went down after the join with VUM. We were 8th in maths, now we're 13th joint. I can't imagine how bad the VUM lecturers must be. Maybe they're all like Thatcher and Tso.

Hey Dawson,
Just curious whereabouts in the UMIST/North Campus you are. No one else in IndieSoc seems to live up here. I am in Chandos. Is there anyone else out there in North Campus?
