I stayed there in first year and also had two other spells over a couple of summers (couple of months each time when I was between flats). I also worked there for a wee bit. The rumour was that the design used was the same as a Swedish women's prison.

DA Baracus Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 A delight. Hillhead itself was actually pretty decent with a good bar and takeaway and being right next to Seaton Park. Just a shame the housing was rather 'dated'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionel hutz Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 It's a 10-15 minute walk to the Uni, near Pittodrie (and three junior grounds are on my doorstep) with a Lidl across the road and few pubs nearby; so It's not that bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 That sounds awful to me! This is the link to the story anyway although It's Cambridge he went to.

You'll have a great laugh mate. The nightlife is dying on its arse somewhat though. Institute aka Liquid (after the Pearl Lounge, RIP) was the student hovel in my last 4 years but it seems to be on its way out. Hopefully for your sake something else opens up as your only option is Nox which can be full of roasters. I think this is maybe just a representation of Scotland in general, however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweeperDee Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I can always get the train down to Dundee and go to Fattys I was in there on Saturday night for the first time since I was 18; have to say the wee piano part is quite cool. Even got the boy to play Up With The Lark. Other than that, avoid it like the plague. It's fucking terrible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is Underground a different entity? Either way, stupid name. God bless Bar Korova. TKs and Exo were pretty decent too back in the day. I've never heard of the Bridge Street Social Club . Underground must be a separate entity, yeah. Full of emos and weirdos in my experience, but some of my friends like it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In agreement with you on Nox though, full of rip-roaring twats. Ah right, I've always just heard it referred to as Korova. Nox on a Saturday night is simply horrible.

SweeperDee Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 What sort of references do employers look for for graduate roles? Will reference from lecturer/disertation supervisor do if you don't have any industry experience? Surely they'd rather that than hearing from some two-bob pub owner etc? My postgrad application required an academic reference and a reference from either a professional that's related to the courses field of work, or someone from a voluntary organisation which is involved in the field of work. Would imagine if you need two for a graduate job, then those 2 sorts of referee would be your best bet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
