The way it works here is different from the States. Here, work is optional. Especially in Arts (I.e. English, Philosophy, etc.). What I mean by optional is that some people are happy to go to a third of their lectures, miss the 2 tutorials (that they can)and hand their essays in late. They may pass....

I am a regular attendee at Alt Soc and Deviant Noise. I have been known to go to RockSoc, have friends there, and am a huge ...
