They're close to the top of the UK league tables aren't they?

(Answer: yes)

My friend is on an OU course
and (according to them, so likely to be biased) they're rated as highly as any Russell Group university by employers

What's the Russell Group?

(, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:23, archived)
I think it's universities like Durham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Warwick
that are generally considered to be very good

EDIT: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_Group Durham's not a member

I used to work for the OU
The reason they're top is most of the students are in prison on in the army so have nothing better to do.

Fuck me
There's logic, right there

I don't know the details
but these things do also get measured by authorities inspecting the quality of the course itself, so it's not just the dedication of the students.

No
they might send you some cardboard cut out "Tedious, badly dressed, immature mates" if you're lucky.

You can take them down the pub, get pissed and bring loads of traffic cones home with you because you are SO FUCKING MENTAL AND INTERESTING!

Let him who did not think he was mental and interesting in his late teens
cast the first stone.
