If you want to go to a university, you usually apply during your last year at school, when you are 17-18. You
can apply to study at any university in Britain and most people choose a university that is not in their own
town. So, university students usually live away from home. Students get a grant from the government to
study. At the beginning of your last year at school, you receive an application form. On this form you choose
up to five universities that you would like to go to. The form is sent to those universities with information
from your school about you and your acacdemic record. If the universities are interested in your application,
they will ask you to attend an interview. If they are still interested after the interview, they will offer you a
place.
Any offer, however, is only conditional at this stage. Applications and interviews take place several months
before students do their A-level examinations. These are the exams that you do at the end of your time at
school. So, when a university makes an offer, it will tell you the minimum grades that you will have to get
when you do your A-level exams. If you don’t obtain those grades then, you will not be able to get the place. It
will be offered to someone else and you must apply again to another university. You don’t have to accept your
place immediately. Some students don’t want to go straight from school to university. So, after they have
taken their A-level, they take a year out to work or travel.

Predictions about the Cities of the Future
Cities are built to survive and prosper. Over the years, we have learned to transform our surroundings
according to our needs. We have cut through mountains to make more land and created artivicial islands to
make skycrapers. City planning, as an organized profession, has existed for less than a century. However, a
considerable amount of evidence (both archaeological and historical) proves the exstence of fully planned


cities in anicent times. Over the years, humans have made some mistakes in terms of using an excessive
amount of resources for cities. This gives rise to the question of how sustainable the cities of the future would

be.
We might be looking at smart cities in which street lights would only switch on when you are close by and
traffice light would be eliminated by smart driving. The cities of the future would try to save our resources
rather than deplete them. An example of an advanced city is Kansas. Plans are in place to make Kansas a
smart futuristic city in the future. Planners ar considering introducing sensors to monitor the water mains.
Warning would be issued to city officials when the infrastructure requires repair or replacement. In this way,
the city would never be at risk of having broken pipes. While the idea sounds fantastic, a large amount of
rational critique has called this plan an oversold dream. Amy Flasmier is an urban planning professor at MIT.
She is a smart city skeptic who believes that all the research and talk is great but gravely oversold.
