airdrieman Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Going to Strathclyde to do Chemical Engineering. I see already that the Freshers' Week grand finale involves a summer/beach party at the arse end of September. A stellar idea.A glowstick rave too. Another splendid idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Heriot watt is my 1st choice if i get an A in my 2 year graded unit i will go there to do structural or civil engineering. Defo think it can be achieved, failing that i will go to Napier or try and get work with an HND. Looking like i might be able to do it all without needing a student loan too Civils at HW is the place to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Civils at HW is the place to be. So I've heard, need to get the head down for my 2 year at college though and get my graded unit results. Will still apply for jobs with my HND and see what i can get and keep options open You got any more information for me?

SweeperDee Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Singled out the two places where I want to do my masters; Aberdeen or Edinburgh. Aberdeen is offering Health Psychology which is my second choice in all honesty; my real aim is to get into clinical psychology at Edinburgh uni. The considerations however is that both places are quite expensive to live in. Any tips on finding relatively cheap accommodation in either of these cities? -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bully_wee Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 An important update for all those heading to Strathclyde: the Union is soon going to serve craft beers. What a time to be alive. In other news, everyone on my course appears to be either a foreign student or privately educated - in some cases both! Should be a good laugh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Is Napier a shite uni by reputation? Or is it just slightly easier to get in to than others? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bully_wee Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 For all that student politics is a pile of w**k, the new union president at strathy is genuinely one of the best guys I've ever known and he's a massive craft beer fan so that's his doing. Aye, he seems like a really good guy from what I've heard and seen of him so far. He's obviously a man of fine taste too! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Edinburgh your budget for something decent should at the very least be £300 per month. You could get something cheaper, but you'd have to factor in a commute. I think value can be found in Leith and the south side of Newington, near Cameron Toll. Funnily enough my cheapest flat in Edinburgh is the one I'm in just now in Marchmont, which is one of the most expensive rental areas in Edinburgh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt you'd find anything decent for less than £350 within walking distance of the uni.I'm paying £400 this year for a good two bed. Was £350 last for a white five bed and £400 the year before for a decent five bed. Edited September 6, 2014 by ForzaDundee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Mate of mines was looking at there was a few flats for 2 in Fountainbridge of all places that were 250 a person. Needless to say they've gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was £350 last for a white five bed and £400 the year before for a decent five bed. You'd generally be right but there are bargains to be had, as Widge refers to above; you just have to be quick or know someone who's got a space in their cheaper flat going. I'm paying £325 for my place in Marchmont, which is a steal. The flat itself is in good nick as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Student accommodation prices are a joke in Edinburgh as well i know a guy who stays in the ones near the Telford college and pays 150 per week for his room there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberdeenHibee Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I am still living in Old Aberdeen despite having moved on to a full-time job since graduation last summer.
