Killiesquirrel Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 f**k, good shout. So much effort involved, though. Bet bet it's a long application too! Anyone know if I can save my application progress? Or do I have to do it all in one sitting? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeperDee Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) So much effort involved, though. Bet bet it's a long application too! Anyone know if I can save my application progress? Or do I have to do it all in one sitting? Nah, don't worry. This will be the 4th time I've had to apply (going into 4th year). You can come back to it whenever you want, as long as it's before the deadline. It's not all that long if you're going for the non-income assessed loan, otherwise be prepared for a gestapo style enquiry into your family's income.

Widge Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 On that SAAS related note, they started taking money off me the other day. This made me both very pleased and very sad. Albeit I worked out it'll take them 11 years to get all the money I owe back and it's hardly a large amount. Colleague of mines owes 25k cause he's English and they're taking the same amount off him as me, on the same (then) salary. It's a wonder the ever get it all back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorlomin Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Had my award ceremony last week and officially now have an MSc from Birkbeck. It was brutal juggling a job and studying but worth it. I was the first graduate in my families history now I am the first postgraduate as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-r-cfc Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Had my first exam today. Politics - lecturer said the questions would be roughly the same as the essay questions s but they were the exact same more or less! That ended up throwing me initially bevause I expected some variation but in all a good start. Got three history ones next week now on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday so that won't be a fun week. After that i can relax til the end of June when I need to get a summary submitted for my dissertation which I am clueless about but cross that bridge when I come to it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Got my first exam today and then two tomorrow so I'm in exams 9.30-5, shite timetable for me. I've at least got a break before my last two though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All outstanding loans are written off after 30 years (I think; it might be 35). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooky Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Not that it mattered much since I accepted my unconditional offer, but I got an A in my HNC! No work for me until September! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelldon Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Going to Glasgow Uni to do Nursing and Healthcare in September! I was in Nepal and was meant to have a Skype interview with them the Monday after the earthquake struck, they took that as extenuating circumstances though. So got a face to face interview when I got back and got an unconditional. Does anyone have any recommendations about what accomodation to stay in in first year? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murano is where I stayed in first year. Was a bit of a riot at times and our flat was by no means one of the worst ones. I had a great time but if thats not your thing I would suggest you consider elsewhere. If you are going for Murano I would recommend the small flats as all of the 10/12 person flats that I visited were an absolute state. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Murano if you are pretty outgoing and don't mond constant parties going on, Queen Margaret if you want to have a shower and toilet to yourself but don't want to be out every night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Are the Queen Margaret ones up past Glasgow Calley that you go by on the motorway? Remember a few friends staying there before and they were decent for the reasons you mentioned. I would love to go back to living in student halls again Nah Queen Margaret are up beside Kelvinside Academy in the West End, near the edge of Maryhill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I think the fact that you were the first graduate means its stating the bleeding obvious that you were the first post graduate... If there was a sufficient gap between his degree and postgrad course then another family member could have completed their first degree and a masters in the intervening time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
