Premium economy ?? I think i'll pass !!

Advantages: Nice little extras, Good food, Free drinks
Disadvantages: Not value for money, tiny seats & stingy cabin crew

...This time last year I was booking my holiday to the Dominican Republic with my boyfriend & of course I do all the booking & he shows very little interest until he gets his tickets. At the time of booking both our tickets came to just less than £1000 so I decided we would go for a bit of an extra as it was a special trip our first holiday alone together & we wanted some thing to remember so I opted for the premium economy seats at the price of £195pp not telling my boyfriend I just gave him the final figures to pay. I booked through Portland direct online & thought little of it. About a month later I thought I would go on to the Thomson website (as Portland is an umbrella company of Thomson & they have their own everything!) & see what we would actually be getting for our money & to be honest I was a little disappointed. I didn't expect...

Review of Thomson Premium Economy Seats

Economy toothbrushes are worth their value

Advantages: Firm Bristles, cheap - 2 for 39p
Disadvantages: Bristles spread out quickly, body not flexible

...The Sainsbury's Economy Toothbrush comes in aq pack of 2 for 39p. They're extrodinarily good value, but are they worth the cost? APPEARANCE: The toothbrushes are white. On viewing, you can tell they must be cheap ones. The plastic extends the whole way up, not changing in appearance once, and the white bristles are coarse and stiff. DURABILITY: For me, this toothbrush is perfect, as I use it very rarely - no, I do brush regularly, but I normally use an electric toothbrush. I use this one when I go visiting places, or to someone elses house, so I don't need the charger. The brush does have its downsides - the body is unbendable, so if you're used to pressing on hard, it may damage your gums. To start with, the bristles work very effectively, probably better than a more exensive one, as they're firm and can dislodge food...

Worcester University

Advantages: Accomodation, Student Union, Sports, Clubs, Library, IT, History
Disadvantages: Expense

...I've been here getting on for around a week now and I must say that I have had an excellent time so far. Before accepting the offer to go Worcester I travelled to it to investigate it and to see if it was for me. After travelling around some of the other universitys that I got into I came to the conclusion that this one was more for me conpared to any of the others. Size ********* I've found that its small which makes it quaint in my eyes and from my opinion however I find a city that is huge can be a little too big and can appear scary and overwhelming at times. Worcesters size is perfect offering up Night Clubs, Food, Shops and culture. The University was originally opened as an emergency teaching college until only recently in the last few years it has been granted the ability to become a university. This means it has being...

Sainsbury's economy toothbrushes

Advantages: none that I found
Disadvantages: needs repacing very quickly

...Sainsbury's economy tooth brushes can be best described as a false economy. These cheap and cheerful toothbrushes come in packs of two and are rated as a medium brush. Unfortunatley I have found that after about a fortnight of regular brushing ie 2 or 3 times a day the tooth brush has become very spayed and the odd brisle or two ends up coming out whilest you are brushing. I would not recommend this tooth brush as you end up replacing them very quickly it would make better sense to buy a more expensive brush that lasts longer and so in the long term would save you money....

The University of Birmingham

Advantages: Great teaching, facilities, opportunites and social life
Disadvantages: i am only here for 3 years, wish it could be more.

...I am a student at the University of Birmingham in my first year of the popular course; Sports and Exercise Sciences. Although it is a difficult university to get in to, there are hundreds of different courses to choose from if you are not accepted on your favoured course. Also, they are quite lenient with grades as I did not achieve the expected marks but still got in... shhh! So what made Birmingham my number one choice? As soon as I arrived at the open day and got a walk around the campus I knew this was the place for me. Not only is it one of the leading universities in the UK for my course it is a beautiful place to study with its landmark clock tower, luscious all weather pitches and modern redbrick buildings. I felt right at home here and could picture myself studying here for the future. The Campus is located in Selly Oak...

My University

Advantages: great place, great people
Disadvantages: new so still improving

...Introduction I have been a student at the University of Gloucestershire for 2 years now. I am on a year out, but will be going back to do my 3rd and final year to complete my Business Management degree. My time at the university has been very memorable and I am looking forward to going back and finishing my course. I have thought about whether I made the right decision choosing this university over the large number of other universities available around the country, but I do not regret the decision I have made. I have made many great friends and love the environment of the university. Campuses The University of Gloucestershire is split up into four campuses: Park, Francis Close Hall, Oxstalls and Pittville. Park campus is known as 'The Business School'. Those studying any business related courses, hospitality...

Nottingham Trent University

Advantages: Great Uni. Fact!
Disadvantages: Disadvantages?!

...So, having just finished at Nottingham Trent University it made perfect sense to make this brief review on the place...trust me if I reviewed every aspect of life here that I've experienced it would equate to the length of War & Peace! Trent is officially the leading "new" university in the country and is predominantly a city-based campus, with two other campuses located at Clifton (about 5 miles south of the city) and Brackenhurst (a very rural campus based to the north-east). I spend three years there and had an awesome time. In my first year I was based at the Simpsons Halls of Residence, which are in the Lenton area of Nottingham. Although not the nicest area of the city, the halls were certainly some of the best. Having had coursemates and friends who were located at other halls such as Hampden and Sandby which are much closer...

Review of Nottingham Trent University

  University Life

Advantages: reputation, sports, teaching
Disadvantages: on a hill, shops + banks

...Having been a fresher here at bath for 8 weeks now I feel the need, nay, duty to write a review on the university. I've already done a freshers review on "things beginning with F" if you want to hear about how great (or rather average) freshers week was. But this is going to focus more on the university. I'm currently on a 4 year physics masters course here at Bath. -------------------- Reputation -------------------- I don't believe in league tables and all that rubbish. The trend seems to be that the more time the university spends on fiddling it's figures to make it look good, the less time it can spend on teaching. I didn't apply to Oxford or Cambridge for two reasons. Firstly, I wouldn't be able to get in. Secondly I know it would be full of people who only applied because of the name and who could succeed better...

Review of Bath University

An Overview of Oxford University

Advantages: High academic standards, reputation, university can be the best years of your life
Disadvantages: Can be seen as stuffy and old-fashioned, a lot of work, may not suit all

...Oxford University is one of the most prestigious in the world. It may be second to Cambridge in the Times league table, but really this is relatively insignificant. The truth is that there are many top quality universities, and I shall not pretend that Oxbridge is automatically superior, when in reality places like York, Durham, etc can all offer at least as good facilities in certain subjects. As a current student of Oxford University (just finished first year PPE at Jesus), however, I feel qualified to write a guide for those that may be thinking of applying, and anyone who’s just interested. I shan’t write everything here – there are separate categories on Dooyoo concerning the interview, courses, etc so I shall just try to give a broad overview here (and probably write in more detail on the other aspects later...

Review of Oxford University

Heriot-Watt Uni

Advantages: Lovely Campus
Disadvantages: Some modules didn't seem relevant on course

...Four years ago, I left school and started the hunt for a suitable university to go to, however I was only really torn between two. This was because I knew that I wanted to move back up Edinburgh, and I also knew that I wanted to do Information Technology. This left Heriot-Watt (actually spelt with 1 ?R?) or Napier ? the two in Edinburgh that seemed to offer this particular subject. I was allowed to apply to six universities; however I ended up choosing some of these by shutting my eyes and randomly pointing my finger at the map! Oops, not really ideal is it? Anyway, after looking at both of the Universities, I thought that Napier would be the best for me, since it was spread out throughout town and my first thoughts were that this would be exciting. However, after a guided tour around Heriot-Watt, I realised that practical should...
