OlderThanMe Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 http://www.city.ac.uk/sems/undergraduate/mechauto/index.html I heard about this and it looks really cool! I am thinking about possibly transferring there this year...maybe...maybe not. What do y'all think about it? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 What would the cost of tuition be compared to instate tuition where you're at? Looks like a cool program! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proxlamus© Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 if that hot chick in the picture is my teacher for all 4 years.. count me in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003z Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Dan, I think it would be a very worthwhile experience if you can do it. I spent time in several different countries growing up and the experience definitely added to my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Some foreign countries have state paid for tuition, which is basically free. I should have studied in Germany for two years or so when I had the chance, although English is easier for me to understand I say go for it. Living abroad makes one's mind open up. It would be cool IMO, but just don't kill anyone driving on the wrong side of the street Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bschiltz Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I'm pretty sure the UK has a large college funding program. Looks cool, BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMWHYR0HEN Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Interesting..... Know of any schools like that in the USA? Besides Nascar......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big-phil Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 if that hot chick in the picture is my teacher for all 4 years.. count me in I second that, for her I'd go back to school. Ello gov'na! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savageskaterkid Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Interesting..... Know of any schools like that in the USA? Besides Nascar......... University of Northwestern Ohio-UNO does high performance engineering, and the diffrence between it in wyotech is that fact that its acredited, meaning you can goto another tech school and they will recognize the credits, nascar and wyotech are not acredited.

veritech-z Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Mabye you can get HS30-H involved in the smackdown while you're over there! Hey Dan, that school looks like a good opportunity. I did a study abroad in Paris for a month, and I'm so glad I did. You meet all kinds of interesting poeple (like smokin hot girls from Tunisia....what was I talking about again?) and get to see so many exciting things, it's really a life changing experience. On a related to school note, I just put my application in for www.fiea.ucf.edu, the video game design masters program in Orlando that I had the portfolio thread going about. If you do go, make SURE you have a Cornish Pasty (man those are good), and you might want to avoid the blood pudding...on second thought, have some! It's so much better if you can try to immerse yourself in the culture and be a part of the place you are visiting. So many people travel just to say "I saw that" or "I was there", but they don't really gain anything worth having unless they open up to their surroundings. I suppose that's the difference between a Tourist, and a Traveler. I'm not sure that I made as much sense with that as I'd hoped, but I think you probably get the idea.

Sparks280zt Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 UNC Charlotte has a motorsports engineering program that is funded very well, but errr its mostly Nascar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240hoke Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I really would look into UNC charlotte. There is alot of money there for motorsports work. Also a hot spot for NASCAR teams.... and while you may not be a fan of nascar (im not) it would be ALOT of fun to work on a team and be a part of the design of the cars, there is also BIG money in it. You would also enjoy the Charlotte area more then likely, alot of car shows/events, a relatively active Z club (not nearly as active as triangle though), and lots of race shops. PLus it rains all the time in England.... -Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks280zt Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Yea here at UNCC there are students from all over the country that come just for the motorsports program. I personally know students from New York, Alaska, Hawaii, and California that came here for the program. It also isn't to expensive, I beleive its 14k a year for out of state students.

OlderThanMe Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 Matt and Austin, Thanks! I'll definitely check it out! The school in the UK does look interesting but I'd be way over there... I'm not sure if it would be worth it being that far away. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy 77zt Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 any school is worth it if the program has good recognition and you land a job that you like when its over.i wouldnt save some bucks to get into nascar over possably landing an f1 job.
