CGR Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 The only uni in #Perthshire is the University of the Highlands and Islands, so there. Seriously though, Edinburgh. #represent 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I voted for Aberdeen. I went to RGU and I liked Aberdeen. Four years was plenty though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmothecat Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I did English at Glasgow Uni and it was fantastic. Went to a couple of History lectures whilst I was there (part of an education course I was doing, it involved going to lectures of different disciplines and evaluating the difference in teaching styles) and they were really interesting, speaking to the students there they all raved about the course. I also studied at Stirling and it had pros and cons. The organisation was good, but the course itself wasn't as good as Glasgow (albeit I didn't do English or History there so can't really comment on how good those courses might be). I also found Stirling itself to not be the greatest place for a 'student lifestyle', ended up moving to Edinburgh and commuting through for classes. Glasgow give you a goat skin scroll whilst Stirling only give you a paper one. Stirling is great for sport. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 In Edinburgh Uni library now. Very hard to get any work done because there's too many attractive females going about in yoga pants. Should've stayed in Dundee and I would've got a first easy. Leave them alone, that floor won't hoover itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addie Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) Why on Earth would you want your son to do English and History? Inside every child, there a burning desire to study Human Resource Management. Tell him to listen to his heart and he will be in the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development in no time. I went to The University of Plymouth Polytech but Edinburgh seems very nice. I suppose the length of the bar plays a big part.

Miguel Sanchez Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 My suggestion as someone who has an English degree is study literally anything else other than English as it will destroy and love or passion you have for the written word and replace it with a yawning void that you spend every day looking at trying to work out what the point in anything is. And this was a lecturer I liked that made me this way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Oh and there was a meningitis outbreak in Strathclyde last week, you want to avoid that. Plus it's built on a hill so it's a b*****d to get anywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepy Lurker Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Did my undergrad at Stirling and loved every minute of it, currently doing a Masters at St Andrews and like it well enough but would have to admit that it's every bit as wanky as it's made out to be. I did French and History at Stirling and can definitely recommend the History department. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I loved everything about going to Strathclyde, except the course (Civil Engineering). The lecturers were shit. The Union was cracking though, TFI FTW. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paranoid android Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) My son went to a university fair thing tonight where all the big Uni's were handing out their prospectus. I can't promise he will go the University P&B chooses but I will do my best. So where should he go and why? Also where shouldn't he go and why. He want's to study English & history if that helps. I did my History degree at Edinburgh, and it's a good school, as is the Eng Lit school - the main thing is to pummel as many posh English chicks as is humanly possible during the four years there. Competition for places is very strong at Edinburgh, mind. St Andrews is an excellent uni, and a beautiful place. Maybe try and get to some open days - try to spend a whole day at each one - that might help, if there's a choice to be made.

ForzaDundee Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Surely you're not seriously considering letting your son go to St Andrews though? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
