And I've also heard that last year the drop out rate was ~65%. Do they pride themselves on that too?

 

[CHUDYMASTER]

no - it was 40 % and that was FAILURE rate, not dropout rate, you heard wrong. If that was the dropout rate, then Newcastle wouldn't produce any doctors. It's a very intense course but people don't study as much as they should. In my opinion the teaching methods are the best. It's very integrated, but the workload is just insane.

There's a first year Newcastle transfer student in my scenario group who doesn't agree with that. But hey, since you're there, you'd probably know better hey?

Nah, what happened was that coz too many ppl failed, they increased the pass mark...but a lot of ppl might drop out coz they can't afford the fees. So we only end up with about 10 repeaters in our year.

One of our repeaters passed all his exams, but didn't have a satisfactory tutorial attendance record, so he was forced to repeat.

Im sure you guys have heard this one before, but this is a conversation that happened between Muhammad Ali (aka Cassius Clay) and an air hostess:

AH: Would you kindly put on your seatbelt please?
MA: Superman don't need no seat belt.
AH: Superman don't need a plane.
